Manufacturing Video Production Excellence
At Barking Squirrel Media, Manufacturing Video Production isn’t just a service — it’s a passion that drives us to tell the powerful stories of innovation, craftsmanship, and human ingenuity behind American manufacturing. From Cincinnati to Chicago and beyond, our filmmaking team partners with industry leaders to showcase how modern manufacturing not only builds products but also builds communities and pride in American excellence.
The Art of Manufacturing Video Production
Every manufacturing brand has a story — one that reveals how raw materials become extraordinary products through precision, creativity, and care. At Barking Squirrel Media, we specialize in crafting those stories into cinematic experiences that connect with audiences on an emotional level. Our Manufacturing Video Production approach is built around authenticity, visual artistry, and strategic storytelling designed to elevate brand reputation and inspire new generations to pursue careers in manufacturing.
Through our acclaimed Video Discovery Process, we work closely with clients to uncover the heart of their brand — their mission, people, and impact. This process ensures that every frame captures not only what they make, but why they make it.
Why Fives Group Trusted Barking Squirrel Media
When Fives Group, one of the world’s largest engineering and industrial equipment companies, needed a cinematic partner to highlight their global operations, they turned to Barking Squirrel Media. Fives recognized that our deep understanding of Manufacturing Video Production went beyond filming machinery — we knew how to film meaning.
Our team captured the artistry of advanced automation and the pride of American workers bringing high-precision technology to life. This partnership became a model for how industrial storytelling can reflect both innovation and human purpose.
A Legacy of Manufacturing Partnerships
Our body of work in Manufacturing Video Production spans some of the most respected companies in the industry:
Shepherd Chemical, whose brand videos we produced to highlight the chemistry and care that fuel innovation in materials science.
Celanese, for whom we created a sustainability explainer video that made complex science accessible and visually captivating.
North American Stainless, where our cinematic storytelling showcased American craftsmanship and the power of domestic production.
Clear Packaging, where we filmed the technology and automation behind precision packaging manufacturing.
Pomeroy and Q Labs, whose stories reveal the intersection of technology, testing, and trust in American industry.
Each collaboration tells a different story, but all share one unifying theme — manufacturing excellence with a purpose.
Cinematic Tools That Transform Manufacturing Stories
To tell manufacturing stories with both technical precision and emotional depth, we rely on state-of-the-art equipment and small, agile crews. Our Canon C-70 cinema cameras allow us to film inside tight production environments with smooth, gimbal-based motion, capturing both the power and poetry of machinery.
When larger cinematic scale is needed, our RED V-Raptor 8K cameras and Zeiss cinema lenses deliver breathtaking detail and dynamic range. These tools help us create manufacturing films that don’t just inform — they move audiences.
Canon, in particular, has proven to be a trusted ally in our Manufacturing Video Production workflow. Their advanced sensors handle the mixed lighting temperatures often found on factory floors, making our work more efficient, consistent, and visually stunning — while saving clients both time and cost.
Manufacturing Video Production That Inspires
Our mission goes beyond documenting machines in motion. We believe that Manufacturing Video Production has the power to inspire pride, recruit talent, and reshape public perception of what it means to work in manufacturing.
By blending cinematic imagery with human stories, our films help manufacturers:
Showcase innovation and craftsmanship.
Strengthen brand reputation with customers and partners.
Attract skilled employees who seek purpose in their work.
Communicate sustainability and community values.
We see our work as part of a larger effort to revitalize American manufacturing and remind audiences that behind every product is a team of passionate people making a difference.
The Barking Squirrel Media Discovery Process
At the heart of every successful Manufacturing Video Production is our Discovery Process, a strategic collaboration that identifies what truly makes each company unique.
We begin with in-depth interviews, brand exploration, and storytelling workshops to define the emotional and strategic goals of the video. Then we craft a script and storyboard that translates that insight into cinematic visuals that connect hearts and minds.
This process has earned us the trust of companies like Shepherd Chemical, Celanese, and Fives Group, who appreciate our attention to detail and ability to communicate complex industrial narratives in clear, emotionally resonant ways.
Scalable Video Production for Every Manufacturer
Not every manufacturer has the same budget or production needs — and that’s why Barking Squirrel Media has built a scalable production model. Whether filming for a mid-sized manufacturer in Ohio or an international brand with operations across continents, we tailor our crew, equipment, and schedule to fit both the creative vision and financial realities of each client.
This flexibility allows us to deliver high-impact Manufacturing Video Production on time and on budget — without sacrificing cinematic quality or storytelling integrity.
Manufacturing Video Production and the Future of Industry Storytelling
As Industry 4.0 and automation continue to reshape global manufacturing, the need for powerful storytelling is more vital than ever. Modern audiences expect transparency, sustainability, and authenticity — and video is the most effective medium to deliver it.
Studies from McKinsey & Company and the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) have shown that manufacturers who invest in digital storytelling outperform peers in both brand trust and recruitment effectiveness .
That’s why Barking Squirrel Media is dedicated to remaining at the forefront of Manufacturing Video Production innovation — combining cinematic artistry, data-driven strategy, and heartfelt storytelling to help manufacturers thrive in a changing world.
Global Reach, Local Passion
While many of our clients operate globally, our roots remain proudly Midwestern — with production teams based in Cincinnati and Chicago. This dual presence allows us to serve both regional manufacturers and international corporations seeking authentic, American-made video storytelling.
Whether filming for Fives Group’s global operations or a local Ohio manufacturing facility, we bring the same passion, precision, and respect for the craft of making.
