As we reflect on the first quarter of 2025, Video Crew Hire has once again demonstrated its prowess in the world of video production, solidifying its position as a leading camera crewing and video production company in Central and Eastern Europe. This year began with a bang, as our team embarked on exciting projects for TESCO in Slovakia and Hungary, followed by collaborations with prestigious clients like the BBC and the Television Academy.
This was the view at our crew’s accommodation at the Tatras.
Filming in Poprad, Slovakia
In January 2025, our journey began in Poprad, Slovakia, where we had the opportunity to film for TESCO. This video production project showcased our ability to deliver high-quality content for corporate clients, leveraging our extensive network of experienced location sound recordists and state-of-the-art equipment. Poprad, with its picturesque backdrop of the Tatra Mountains, provided a unique setting that added depth to the filmed visuals.

On Location in Szigetszentmiklós, Hungary
Following the success in Slovakia, the TESCO project moved to Szigetszentmiklós, Hungary, where we were requested to participate in a 4 hour long live programme. The other connected locations in this programme were London, UK and Bangalore, India. The Hungarian location offered a different dynamic, as we filmed in one of the biggest storage and logistic facility for TESCO in Central Eastern Europe. Our crew’s adaptability and expertise in handling various environments were key to the success of this project.

The shoot in Szigetszentmiklós further reinforced our reputation for delivering high-quality video productions that meet international standards. Our focus on using local talent and equipment ensured that the content was both authentic and cost-effective, aligning perfectly with TESCO’s objectives.
For this project we provided TESCO with a 5 people strong crew, 2 cameras, lighting, audio package, and A/V facilities for the local TESCO employees to follow the programme from London and Bangalore on flat screen tv-s.
Collaboration with the BBC
After wrapping up our projects in Slovakia and Hungary, we were honored to work with the BBC on a new initiative. This collaboration marked a significant milestone for us, as it underscored our ability to cater to the rigorous standards of a global broadcasting giant.

This partnership not only enhanced our portfolio but also reinforced our commitment to excellence in video production.
Filming for Emmy Magazine with a Hollywood star
One of the highlights of our early 2025 was the opportunity to film for Emmy Magazine of the Television Academy, featuring a Hollywood star. This project was a testament to our versatility and ability to work with high-profile talent.
The shoot involved capturing intimate moments of a photo shoot with the actress. Our crew’s experience in handling behind-the-scenes productions allowed us to work discreetly, ensuring that the actress felt comfortable throughout the process.
