Manufacturing & Industrial Video Production in St. Louis

Most industrial video looks like a safety tape. Yours doesn't have to.

Plant tours, process and capability films, product demonstrations, recruitment video, and brand films — shot cinematically on the floor and finished to look like the operation you're proud of. Production and media placement under one roof.

What it requires

A great industrial film makes a buyer understand in two minutes what a plant tour takes two hours to explain.

It shows scale, precision, and capability in a way a spec sheet never can. When a procurement team can see your line running and your people working, the sale gets easier and the quote gets less price-sensitive.

Getting there is harder than it looks. A working plant has mixed, unflattering light. Noise makes audio a challenge. Machinery doesn't stop for a camera, and safety and PPE rules apply to the crew. The process is often technical enough that getting it wrong on screen undercuts your credibility with the exact engineers you're trying to impress. We build for those realities — cinematic, technically accurate, and safe to make on an active floor.

What we produce

One day on the floor. A library of cuts.

The same operation supports sales, recruiting, trade shows, and investor relations — and each one needs a different cut. A single shoot can yield a capability film, a recruitment cut, product clips, and a short streaming-TV spot.

01

Plant and facility tours that show capability and scale

02

Process and capability films that explain how the work gets done

03

Product demonstration video for complex or technical products

04

Manufacturing recruitment video for skilled trades and plant roles

05

Customer testimonial and case-study films

06

Trade-show and sizzle reels for booths and sales meetings

07

Brand films that define the company beyond the product

08

Connected TV and OTT commercials for targeted B2B and recruitment campaigns

On the plant floor

The shoot is planned around your production.

01

We walk the floor first

The first conversation covers the goal and the operation — what the video needs to sell or staff, which processes matter, what the safety requirements are, and when the line can accommodate a crew. We walk the floor in pre-production so the shoot plan fits how the plant actually runs.

02

Lean, safety-trained crew

On the day, the crew works within your PPE and access rules and captures machinery and process cinematically without interrupting output. Lighting a working floor and pulling clean audio in a loud environment is craft work — it's why a generalist's footage looks flat while a Clix film looks like the operation deserves.

03

Accurate, then finished

Where a process is technical, we review the cut with your team so it's accurate before it ships. Every cut is built around the buyer or the recruit, color and sound are finished in-house, and you get the anchor film plus the platform cutdowns ready to run.

Production + distribution

A manufacturing audience is narrow, which is exactly why distribution matters. Your buyers are a specific set of procurement leads, plant managers, and engineers; your recruits are skilled tradespeople in a defined region. Spray-and-pray media wastes most of the spend. We place industrial video on performance CTV and OTT, running your spot across 150+ streaming networks through our MNTN Performance TV partnership and targeting by geography, interest, and household so the impressions land on the people who matter.

For hiring, the same engine reaches skilled-labor markets across the region. We produced a recruitment OTT spot for Witte Bros, a Missouri-based logistics carrier, and placed it on Connected TV in the markets that mattered to their hiring. Reporting ties impressions to the outcome, so an industrial campaign runs as a measurable channel and the content earns its keep.

A complex process, turned into footage that wins business.

Proof

The studio's roots are in exactly this kind of work.

B2B, industrial, and logistics clients who need complex operations to look as good on screen as they run in person. The Witte Bros production is real proof that the studio can make a heavy-duty operation look cinematic and put the result to work on Connected TV — and the production-plus-distribution model is proven on results too.

Frequently asked

Questions about industrial video.

How much does manufacturing video production cost?

+

Budget depends on scope: how many shoot days, how many locations, how technical the process is, how many cutdowns you need, and where the video will run. A single capability film sits at one level. A multi-location shoot with a Connected TV campaign sits higher. Most engagements fall within a defined range once the goal is clear. Share a few details and the studio will scope a project that fits your budget. Discovery calls are free.

How do you film without shutting down our production line?

+

We plan the shoot around your operation, not against it. In pre-production we walk the floor, identify what needs to be captured, and build a plan that fits your run schedule and access rules. The crew is lean, safety-trained, and works within your PPE requirements. In most cases we capture everything we need while the line keeps running, with only brief coordinated pauses where a specific shot requires one.

Can you handle the safety and insurance requirements for an industrial site?

+

Yes. Filming on active industrial sites is core to what we do. The crew follows your site safety and PPE rules, and we coordinate access and certificates of insurance with your team before the shoot date. Tell us the site requirements early and we build them into the production plan so there are no surprises on the day.

Can you produce recruitment video for skilled trades and plant roles?

+

Yes. Manufacturing recruitment video is a common request, especially for hard-to-fill trades and plant positions. We film real employees talking about the work, the equipment, and the culture, then place the spot on Connected TV targeted to the regional markets where qualified candidates live. The same shoot can produce both a sales-facing capability film and a recruitment cut.

How do you make sure a technical process is accurate on screen?

+

We review the cut with your team before delivery. Our crews are experienced with complex operations, but you know the process best, so technical accuracy is a collaboration. We flag anything we are unsure about during the edit and confirm it with your engineers or operators. Getting the details right is what keeps the film credible with a technical audience.

Do you handle media placement or just production?

+

Both. Clix Studios produces the creative and places it. Industrial video runs across 150+ OTT-delivered networks through our MNTN Performance TV partnership, targeted by geography, interest, and household to reach a narrow B2B audience or skilled-labor market efficiently. Reporting ties impressions to the outcome, so the campaign runs as a measurable channel rather than a sunk production cost.
