INDUCTION VIDEO CASE STUDY
Oil depot induction filming inside a live operational site.
Two days filming at Greenergy's Cardiff depot, creating audience-specific versions for drivers, visitors, contractors and staff while working within controlled access and safety requirements.
PROJECT AT A GLANCE
Greenergy · Cardiff
Filming: Two days on site
Deliverables: Versions for drivers, visitors, contractors and staff
On camera: Professional actor
Access: Supervised throughout filming
THE BRIEF
Understand the site before filming
Before filming, we watched the depot's existing induction video and took the same test required for people entering the site. That meant we were familiar with the rules and procedures before the shoot started.
Filming then took place across two days at the Cardiff facility, with controlled access and supervision throughout.
The material was used to create versions for drivers, visitors, contractors and staff, keeping the core site information consistent while changing the detail for each audience.
Filmed at the real operational site
Drivers, visitors, contractors and staff each received the information relevant to their role from the same core production material.
AERIAL PLANNING
Airspace permission arranged in advance
The depot sits within the Cardiff docks area, so the aerial work required the appropriate permission before the filming day.
FILMING ON A CONTROLLED SITE
Work within the depot's access requirements
An operational oil depot is not a location where a film crew can simply roam around looking for shots. We were supervised throughout the production and worked with the site team to reach the required areas safely.
Having completed the existing induction and test beforehand meant the rules were already familiar. That helped us use the two filming days efficiently while respecting the restrictions of the site.
The practical lesson: preparation was not just a production convenience here. Understanding the site's rules, access restrictions and aerial requirements was part of being able to film the job at all.
