Silgan Containers Manufacturing Video Production

Silgan Containers makes more metal food cans than anyone in the United States, and hired Highline Studios for a manufacturing video production covering the plants, the history, and the people running the lines. We shot five days across two facilities, driving from Wisconsin to Iowa halfway through. The brief was to make the operation feel as large as it actually is.

Five Days Inside Silgan's Manufacturing Plants

At Highline are particularly interested in manufacturing and distribution ops, anything large scale. Silgan is on the bleeding edge of technology when it comes to their facilities, R&D, and their manufacturing process. From the get go, we new there would be an opportunity to shoot some really distinctly cool and compelling footage at each manufacturing plant.

Our approach was to use a small crew and a plethora of camera rigs to capture all the action from various vantage points. Put the viewer in the factory, and let them see the impressive array of synchronized machinery working tirelessly while factory workers dance around the machines in unison.

Over the course of five days we spent two days shooting each facility. On our hump day, the crew made the drive from Wisconsin to Iowa. Gimbals, drones, suction cup mounted GoPro’s, dedicated time-lapse, tripods, hand held, sliders… Our main camera was a RED, mostly for it’s impressive slow motion capabilities.
