E.E. Ingleton: Manufacturing Company Film
An interview led manufacturing film for E.E. Ingleton, produced across two Sheffield shoot days with detailed factory coverage and technical post production.
Make complex manufacturing clear and human
E.E. Ingleton wanted a concise company film that conveyed its people, experience and specialist products while showing the scale and precision of its Sheffield manufacturing operation.
The story had to bring together interviews, narration and visually demanding factory processes, using the company’s technical language accurately and filming safely around working machinery.
Two factory shoots built around people and process
We shaped the film around interviews with Tony Hodges and Terry Lee, then supported their account with planned coverage of laser profiling, perforating, forming, fabrication and inspection.
Two shoot days at Adelaide Works were followed by detailed script, voiceover, picture and sound refinement. The completed introduction film remains publicly available, and the client responded strongly and positively to the completed film.

A manufacturing script built around products and processes
The script connected E.E. Ingleton’s people with the specialist work carried out at Adelaide Works. Tony Hodges and Terry Lee supplied the main interview voices, supported by narration covering the company’s history, capabilities and product areas.
Custom perforated panels and industrial screens sat alongside feed milling components, architectural metalwork, swing hammers and wear parts. A clear narrative structure connected this breadth of equipment and output to one concise company introduction.
Two shoot days inside Adelaide Works
The first shoot took place on 27 August 2014 with Jay Rozanski directing and producing, Jenny Alsina managing the project and Scott Dulson as Director of Photography. Two Canon C100 cameras with Ninja recorders, dedicated sound, LED and Dedo lighting and a slider supported the planned interviews and factory coverage.
We returned on 15 October with Davy Charles as Director of Photography for a second day of targeted material. Across the two dates, the filming list covered laser profiling, high speed perforating, CNC forming, drilling, sawing, heat treatment, rolls, press brake work, fabrication and inspection.
Post production protected the engineering detail
The review process covered factory imagery, script and professional voiceover together. The team checked pronunciation and exact terminology, incorporated additional product imagery and resolved how third party material could be used.
Picture work also addressed the practical look of a working factory, including colour and distracting backgrounds, while sound finishing kept interviews and narration consistent. This is the kind of detail that lets manufacturing video production feel credible to a technically informed audience.
Completed through 2014 and still available to watch
Planning began in February 2014, followed by the August and October shoots and detailed client review through December. The project developed across 2014 as the story, additional coverage and final voiceover were refined.
Managing Director Tony Hodges responded strongly and positively during final review, and Terry Lee later told us the completed group playback had been well received. The finished film remains public as EE Ingleton: An Introduction, preserving the company’s people and manufacturing capability in their own production environment.
Narration connected specialist areas of the business
The planned structure opened and closed with narration around two interview led sections. This gave Tony Hodges and Terry Lee room to explain the business in their own voices while the voiceover linked product families, manufacturing capability and the company’s established history.
That balance was especially useful for specialist terms that needed both accurate wording and visual context. Feed milling screens, swing hammers, wear parts and architectural metalwork could be introduced through the script, then reinforced with factory and product imagery. The resulting film remained accessible while speaking in the company’s own technical language.
Review was treated as a technical production stage
We incorporated exact pronunciations, corrected “industrial screens”, confirmed the company’s 1975 establishment date and adjusted timing around interview pauses. Extra photographs and revised copy were also considered as the film moved towards professional voiceover.
These details show why engineering post production benefits from named reviewers who understand the subject. We refined pace, picture and sound, while E.E. Ingleton protected the accuracy of materials, processes and product descriptions. Shared review led through to final sign off.
