I’m delighted to have the opportunity to shoot a wildlife documentary with Xavier and Pierre, from Fixing Expérience, in the Ecuadorian Amazon and the Andes. With a perfect understanding of my specific requirements and a thorough knowledge of the country and its possibilities, they were able to guide me to the best spots and contacts. Then, in the field, they did everything possible to facilitate the shooting: negotiating with the local authorities, hiring trackers, lending equipment if needed, technical advice, information on the flora and fauna, etc. In short, I felt supported and supported by the local authorities. In short, I felt supported throughout the shoot, which is invaluable when you’re working in sometimes difficult terrain and don’t speak Spanish! They never let me feel that I was asking too much (especially in terms of scheduling), and always found solutions to help me achieve my objectives. In short, they provide super-professional fixing services, always being responsive, serious and dynamic, with constant good humor to boot. An indispensable team!

These two shoots in Ecuador with a team of super pros were a fantastic experience. Everything was perfect, from the editorial to the transport and even the end-of-shoot dinner in an ancient Inca temple in the middle of a hacienda where traces of Von Humboldt’s passage can still be seen….. Xavier is an outstanding naturalist and a leader of men who knows how to find solutions when nothing goes right. Out of a series of 35 documentaries, Xavier and his team’s fixing is in the top 3 !!!! Many thanks to them … the only thing they didn’t count on was altitude sickness…. They can’t do everything !!!!
