Corrosion Engineering: Slow Motion and Stellar Video

Corrosion Engineering, Inc custom designs and manufactures quality liners for the mining and aggregate industries. They have a unique and innovative method to create their liners, and are established locally, here in Arizona. To showcase their process, they asked for our help to produce an equally innovative and creative video.

 

Because of the grand nature of this production, the shoot required multiple days. For the most part, we shot the process in order, starting with shooting a time lapse of the designing process. To capture this successfully, we used our new GoPro Hero3 as well as our Canon 5D.

The next step required us to use our jib, which only took a couple of minutes to set up. It's a great tool to enhance the shots of our production and get to places that we would otherwise be unable to shoot.

  

With the GoPro attached to the plasma cutter, and the use of the Canon 5D, we captured remarkable shots that would rival Discovery's How it's Made.  Unfortunately, sparks from the plasma cutter melted our GoPro housing. We were lucky it didn't harm the camera at all--losing one piece of housing was merely a minor set back.

We continued to work through the many processes in creating these liners, which included the rubber shop. This was in a tighter space, yet gave us the ability to capture interesting shots of the machines working. For these smaller spaces the Glidecam became our best tool, producing steady shots of this stage.

For the last day of production, we finished shooting the process as well as captured establishing shots and pick up shots with the whole PrimeImage crew. The people at Corrosion Engineering were extremely helpful and fantastic clients to work with. We could tell that this company really had a heart for its people and we loved working on such a fascinating project. If you would like to request our services, please call us at 480.240.9270
