I wanted to share a behind-the-scenes look at our recent shoot for “The WORKZ | Episode 2: New Parts, New Problems” filmed with some of the HogWorkz Warehouse Team. Following around the HogWorkz Crew is always a blast. I’m just getting introduced to all the cast of characters in the office and the warehouse, learning their personalities and what roles everyone plays.
Filming a business like HogWorkz, where they are open to sharing the realities of their day-to-day operations, is both exciting and challenging. It takes a lot of guts for a company to open up like this, allowing us to capture their real struggles and triumphs. This vulnerability is what makes this documentary video work authentic and compelling.
In this episode, we witnessed firsthand the challenges the warehouse team faced due to a technical meltdown in their shipping system. The external shipping platform they relied on suddenly stopped working over the weekend, causing a backlog of orders. To quickly address the issue, they created a duplicate store to resume order processing. However, things took an unexpected turn when an old store was inadvertently reactivated, resulting in duplicate orders flooding in.
As a video producer, director, and editor, documenting these real-time challenges presents unique filming obstacles, especially when you’re filming real life scenarios. I have to be adaptable and ready to capture moments as they unfold, often without scripted direction. It’s about being in the right place at the right time, ensuring we capture the raw emotions and problem-solving processes authentically.
The team’s resilience and determination to resolve the shipping issues were inspiring. Despite the chaos, they remained focused on fulfilling customer orders efficiently. Everyone on The Hogworkz Team played their roles, and did their part. I’m excited about the challenge of telling HogWorkz’s story through “The Workz” series. This experience has only deepened my appreciation for their commitment to transparency and their willingness to share their journey with us.
Stay tuned for more behind-the-scenes action and stories from HogWorkz as we continue to document their journey on “The Workz”.
Stay tuned,
Brandon Damon
