Hey everyone, Brandon Damon here, the film producer behind Hogworkz new series called “The WORKZ.” I’m thrilled to share some behind-the-scenes insights from filming Episode 3: “From R&D to the Real World!” This episode was an exciting journey, not just for the viewers but for me as well. Let’s dive into the experience!
A Day at Hogworkz R&D Center
Filming this episode took about half a day, but those few hours were packed with catching the crew filming instructional videos, and learning the 3D scanning and printing processes. For the first time in the series, I got the chance to film actual motorcycles, which added an extra layer of excitement to the shoot. The setting for this episode was the impressive Hogworkz R&D Center in Oxford, Michigan. This facility is where the magic happens—reverse engineering, part fit testing, road testing, and shooting those detailed instructional videos you all love.
Meeting Al, the R&D Maestro
One of the highlights of the day was meeting Al, the manager at the R&D Center. Al’s expertise and passion for what he does were truly inspiring. He walked us through the entire process of developing new motorcycle parts, from initial scans to final road tests. His knowledge and hands-on approach gave us a deep dive into the meticulous work that goes into each product Hogworkz creates. I’m looking forward to working more with Al in the future.
The Power of 3D Scanning and Modeling
One of the coolest parts of the day was witnessing the 3D scanning and modeling process. Al used a peel 3D scanner to capture precise data, which was then transformed into a 3D model in CAD software. Seeing the raw scan evolve into a refined, manufacturer-ready model was a testament to the cutting-edge technology and meticulous craftsmanship at Hogworkz. I was able to follow along, and learn something new as I filmed the process.
The Heart of Hogworkz
What stood out most during the filming was the dedication and passion that go into every step of the process at Hogworkz. From the initial scan to the final road test, every detail is meticulously checked and double-checked. This commitment to quality is what makes Hogworkz a leader in the motorcycle parts industry.
Filming this episode was an incredible experience, and I can’t wait to bring you more behind-the-scenes looks at the amazing work happening at Hogworkz. Stay tuned for more episodes of “The WORKZ,” where we continue to explore the fascinating world of motorcycle customization and innovation!
Until next time, Brandon Damon
