Snapper has worked with Bonds over a number of years, most recently producing Dustin Martin’s BONDS Killer Undies video campaigns, which have both delivered exceptional social traction. Snapper's flexibility and collaborative approach helped Bonds reach and engage with our youth male audience, a notoriously difficult to reach market. Mike is passionate, creative and continues to push the boundary to deliver. Emily Small - Head of Marketing, Bonds
Snapper Screen has created content which has consistently grown strong audience engagement, and been delivered to such a high standard that ‘The Converted’ was nominated in 2017 for a Mumbrella Publisher Award for Best Use of Video. Mike and the team have an ability to self manage with an acute understanding of our brand’s aesthetic and voice, making for a seamless production process. Monique Knoblanche - Video and Creative Manager, Realestate.com.au
I’ve worked with Mike on a number of campaigns, most notable being VEVO’s Australian LIFT series. Snapper demonstrated its versatility in overseeing a diverse range of productions, including; partnership pre-rolls, live performance clips and documentary content. The VEVO Lift campaign was incredibly successful at engaging our target youth demographic whilst subtly integrating the brand ethos of our participating sponsor – Ford Fiesta. Mat Anastasi - Group Business Director – Mediacom (formerly at Authentic Entertainment)

It’s rare to find someone who can strike such a good balance between inspiring confidence and working creatively. That’s why I love working with Mike. He has the experience to work with clients and ensure that they feel that they are being listened to, but also the creative flair and expertise to create content that you wish you had made. I’ve worked with Mike for over 15 years, and his ability to capture the essence of a story is why I keep coming back. Chris Riordan - Social Content & Video Manager, Victorian Governement
History
Founded in 2003 by Michael Metzner, Snapper Screen Pty Ltd began by meeting growing demand for video content from the Melbourne Fashion Festival and its partner labels and sponsors.
Before Snapper, Michael completed a Bachelor of Arts at Monash University while working as a production manager for Melbourne’s distinctive theatre company, Performing Arts Projects. He then studied Film & Television at the Victorian College of the Arts, receiving Australian Film Commission funding for his first-year project and the Kodak Australian Script Award for his graduation film.
At Snapper, it’s not the size of the job that drives us, but the experience it brings. We assemble large crews for complex productions or work intimately on smaller projects with equal focus. This versatility has allowed us to produce content across commercial, corporate, music, arts, lifestyle and government sectors — both in Australia and internationally, including Indonesia, Thailand, USA, China, New Zealand and India.
