Industrial video
Industrial video production in Connecticut
Video for manufacturers and industrial companies, planned around how your floor actually runs. We start by listening to what the work is and who needs to understand it.
Video for industrial companies
Industrial work can be hard to explain. A part, a process or a safety rule that is obvious to your team may be unclear to a customer, a new hire or a buyer. Video is one of the clearest ways to show it.
We produce industrial video and videography for Connecticut manufacturers and industrial companies. That can mean a company film for your website, a process video for sales, a safety or training video for your own people, or a recruiting video that shows what the job is like.
If you are looking at the broader manufacturing category, see our manufacturing page. This page goes into what an industrial video project looks like.
Start by listening to the work
Before we recommend anything, we ask what you make, who buys it and where customers get confused. We ask what a new employee finds hardest, and what you wish prospects understood before the first call.
From those answers we choose the video. A video made to win a customer looks different from one made to train an operator, and we do not want to hand you a single generic film for both.
Who is the video for
A buyer, a distributor, a new hire, a regulator or your own team on a shift change.
What should they understand
A process, a capability, a safety practice or what it is like to work there.
Where will it be seen
A website, a trade show screen, an onboarding session, a sales email or social channels.
Questions before you decide?
Tell us what you make and who needs to understand it, and we will outline a video plan.
Types of industrial video
These are the kinds of projects industrial clients most often ask about. Each one can stand alone or be part of a series.
Company and capabilities video
A film that shows who you are, what you make and what makes your facility different.
Process and product video
A closer look at how something is made, in the order it happens.
Industrial video marketing
Video made for sales and marketing use, such as website pages, trade show screens and email.
Training and safety video
Videos that show the right way to do a task, based on your own procedures.
Recruiting and employee stories
Short films with your people talking about the work, to help candidates picture the job.
Photography of the facility and team
Photos of equipment, products and people for your website, brochures and press.
Working on an active floor
An industrial shoot happens in a working space. We plan around your schedule, your safety rules and the areas where cameras are and are not allowed. Please tell us about any restricted areas, required protective equipment and who should escort the crew, so we can follow your rules from the start.
We also ask about the parts of the operation that are confidential or proprietary. Planning what we will and will not show happens before the shoot, not after.
- Safety and access rules we must follow on site.
- Which areas, products or screens should not appear on camera.
- The best times to see the process in motion.
- Who from your team can explain the work while we record.
From the whole story to the moments
We begin with the whole story of the company or the process. Then we look at the specific functions, people and steps. From there we pick the moments that make the idea clear. Finally we decide on the outputs, such as a full video, shorter clips and photos, so each has a purpose.
A short clip of one operation can sit on a product page while a longer film sits on your about page, and both come from the same plan.
How to get started
Tell us what you make, who needs to understand it and where the video will be used. We will ask a few questions, visit or talk through your space, and propose a plan.
Common questions
What is industrial video production?
It is video made for industrial and manufacturing companies, such as company films, process videos, training and safety videos, recruiting videos and marketing video.
Do you follow our safety rules?
Yes. Please tell us your rules, restricted areas and protective equipment requirements before the shoot, and we plan around them.
Can you keep proprietary details off camera?
We plan with you what should and should not appear. Tell us what is confidential before we shoot.
Do you also take photos?
Yes. Photography of your facility, products and team can be planned alongside video.
Can one shoot produce several videos?
Often it can. A shoot can produce a full video, shorter clips and photos when they are planned together.
