Industrial environments demand more than standard videography, they require technical understanding, safety compliance, and crews who can operate confidently around heavy machinery.

At Unbreakable Media, we specialise in Industrial Video Production South Africa, capturing complex engineering projects with accuracy, safety, and visual impact.


We’ve recently partnered with Intagrey on two standout projects:

  1. Their XRT Double Sorting Plant

  2. Their 18° foldable, relocatable conveyor belt system


Both projects reflect the depth of our industrial filming capabilities, and the planning that goes into capturing content that can be repurposed later as the project evolves.

Industrial Video Production South Africa — Why Expertise Matters

Filming in an industrial environment isn’t just about getting a good shot. It’s about:

  • Wearing the correct PPE

  • Understanding risky zones and safe working distances

  • Working at heights

  • Navigating machinery in motion

  • Capturing footage safely without disrupting operations

  • Filming with purpose so clients can use the material for years


Our Pretoria-based team is trained for these environments. We follow strict site protocols, use stabilised gear, drones, and long-lens systems, and plan every movement to ensure the job is done safely and professionally.


Filming the Intagrey XRT Double Sorting Plant

One of our completed videos for Intagrey includes their XRT Double Sorting Plant — a Greenfield Project built for DSO clean-up.

Technical Overview:

  • Purpose: Remove pegmatite ore from iron-rich waste lithologies

  • Why XRT: Iron-rich materials have higher atomic density, making the sorting process highly efficient

  • Result: Cleaner output, improved processing, and reduced circuit contamination



Our Production Approach:

To produce a high-quality industrial video for South Africa’s engineering sector, we:

  • Filmed the plant from ground level to highlight functionality

  • Captured aerial footage showing layout and scale

  • Included detailed close-ups of mechanisms and material flow

  • Used motion-graphics tracking text to call out key engineering facts

  • Edited the final video for a clean, corporate, technical look

This is a standout example of Industrial Video Production South Africa — technical storytelling executed with precision.



Behind the Scenes — Filming the 18° Conveyor Belt Installation

Before producing the full marketing video, Intagrey requested that we document the installation of a massive 18-degree conveyor belt at a client’s plant in Natal.

Technical Features:

  • 18° slope

  • Design capacity: 800 tph

  • Foldable and relocatable structure

  • Built for flexibility and movement across different plant setups



On-Site Filming Highlights:

This job demanded working at height, moving with the crew, and climbing the full system to capture every angle. We documented:

  • Drone flights over the full belt length

  • Close-up mechanical detail along the incline

  • B-roll of installation teams working with precision

  • Structural elements that highlight the engineering design

  • Raw content that can be used immediately or stored for future editing


This is the perfect example of how long-term industrial video strategy looks: capture visuals now, edit when the project is complete, and maintain a library of footage for future marketing needs.
