Heavy Haulage Other Services How We Work Equipment Contact info@hvyfilms.com

We film where an ordinary crew cannot go.

Abnormal loads, heavy machinery, industrial plants and extreme environments. We work at night, during full operation, under cranes and offshore. No delays, no risk, with results that hold up in a tender and at a trade fair.

Filming heavy machinery

Heavy haulage from loading to final delivery

One job, one crew, the entire story of the transport. We are there from loading and securing the cargo, through the exit from the plant and the critical sections, to the moment the convoy reaches the motorway. On request we cover the complete run from A to B, including night moves and handover of the load.

Moving a colossus is work that your customers never get to see. We turn it into material that sells your company at trade fairs, in tenders and on social media.

Phase 01

Planning and route survey

We go through the route, the timing and the critical sections with your dispatcher. We scout the positions worth filming and agree where we are allowed to stand.

Phase 02

Loading

Cranes, lashing, final checks. The most technical part of the job and the one that shows best what your company can do.

Phase 03

The move

The convoy in motion, a drone above the route, a camera from the escort vehicle. Night moves with police escort are routine for us.

Phase 04

Critical sections

Bridges, roundabouts, underpasses, removing obstacles. The moments where centimetres decide, and exactly those turn the video into proof of your work.

Phase 05

Unloading and handover

Setting the load down at its destination. The end of the journey that closes the film and gives your client certainty the job is done.

Phase 06

Post production

Editing, hand crafted colour grading, sound, graphics and subtitles. Final deliverables in every format you need.

Planning a transport?

Get in touch before the convoy rolls out. Transport dates hold for days only and filming cannot be repeated.

What else we film

01

Industry and engineering

Machines in operation, production lines, assembly and commissioning. Product videos of your machinery for trade fairs, websites and sales offers.

02

Extreme environments

Oil rigs, offshore, power generation, work at height and high risk sites. Environments with strict rules where improvisation is out of the question.

03

Time lapse

A hall going up, a bridge being built or a technology installed, compressed into one minute. The camera stays on site for weeks or months and we watch it for you.

04

Technical documentation

Recorded condition before and after transport, assembly progress, inspection points. Evidence for insurers, acceptance procedures and possible claims.

05

Recruitment videos

Everyone is looking for heavy haulage drivers and machine operators. We show the job as it really is, because that is what works on the right people.

How we work on site

An industrial operation does not stop for filming and we do not want it to. We fit into your schedule, work at night and during full production, and follow the rules that apply on your site. The result is material that looks expensive without holding anyone up.

Safety first

Safety training, our own protective equipment, respect for exclusion zones and the coordinator's instructions. We never interfere with the operation.

Prepared in advance

We go through the route, timing and risk points with the dispatcher beforehand. On site we know where we stand and when we move.

Night operations

Abnormal loads travel at night. We have the equipment for it and people used to working from midnight until dawn.

Confidentiality

We routinely work under NDA. No material is used anywhere without the client's written consent.

A few sentences about the job and the date are enough. We reply straight away and suggest what is worth filming.

Equipment and post production

We choose cameras for the environment, not from a catalogue. A night convoy needs different equipment than a plant in full operation.

Camera equipment
Drone in operation
Cameras

Sony Cinema Line. High dynamic range and clean images even at night without additional lighting, recorded in a format that survives heavy colour grading.

Drones

DJI. Aerial shots that show what matters with an abnormal load, the scale of the cargo against its surroundings. We fly under EU rules and provide the paperwork in advance.

Stabilisation and optics

Gimbals for moving shots alongside the convoy and a lens set from wide angle to telephoto, so we can keep a safe distance from restricted zones.

Colour grading

Every project is graded by hand. Industrial sites have hard light and a mix of fluorescent and sodium lamps, and without grading the footage looks cheap.

Editing and sound

Complete post production, editing, graphics, subtitles and deliverables in every format, for the web, trade fair loops, LinkedIn and YouTube.
