Directional Drilling Film

Last summer, we got involved with producing a film about a directional drilling project which was drilling a pipe under the River Wyre between Preesall and Thornton in North Lancashire. The pipe would then take the mains electricity cables through to power Fleetwood. It was a really interesting project - I don;t think I’d ever thought about electricity and how it gets places before. This pipe was a mile long and was drilled 25 metres under the river bed... YES! 25 metres! Amazing! Anyway, the film will hopeful be a useful marketing tool for the drill company because the process is quite difficult to explain - so we went and films the men doing the work and then interviewed the project manager - he told it better than anyone else.

The sky is the limit

This month, we purchased a very shiny piece of kit - it’s a quadcopter - basically a drone with a camera so that we can fly up and film aerial views. It will be perfect for civil engineering projects, but we think that all films need at least one aerial shot! We are out all the time at the moment getting our flying hours in!
