Process film, automotive industry
Inside the paint shop of a car plant: the robots, the car body, the cloud of paint. A three-and-a-half-minute process film.
Belgium, 2021
The challenge
Automotive industry, Belgium
A car maker wanted a film about the paint shop in its factory. The process is fast and highly technical, and the film had to ring true for the people who work there every day.
The shoot
I filmed the booth up close, with the white robots spraying a car body, then the nozzles and the paint mist in close-up. Further down the line, an aisle of orange robots springs into motion in symmetry, and a single tracking shot is enough to show the scale of the shop. The film runs three and a half minutes, which leaves time to follow each step. For a process film, I work out the order of operations with the shop floor before filming.
What was delivered
- Process film, 3 min 30, in 16:9.
- These are guidelines. Everything can be adapted to your project, and I’m happy to talk it through with you before the shoot.
How the images were used
