Coal Tipple
Posted by admin | Filed under Mining, New Work, Video
This video, a quick look at a coal tipple operation in Eastern Kentucky, is a quick piece we threw together several months ago with some extra footage and some still images we had left over following a shoot this past fall. We pieced the video together during a brainstorming session with the Vellum Industrial team during the planning stages of an upcoming video shoot scheduled for late March.
Eastern Kentucky – Behind the scenes
Posted by admin | Filed under Mining, New Work, Video
The Vellum team had a great time in January producing a portrait series of the hard working men at Frasure Creek in Eastern Kentucky, and we put together this quick and dirty clip to give everyone a sneak peak at the kind of work required on a day- to-day basis at an active mine site. Vellum will be back to produce a series of all video pieces with the new Canon 5D Mark ll in a couple of months.
Snowmobiles
Posted by admin | Filed under New Work, Video
Vellum’s Director of Operations, Jonathan D. Woods, recently produced a video highlighting Iowa’s passionate snowmobiling community for the Cedar Rapids Gazette, an eastern Iowa newspaper. We’re excited about this video for a number of reasons, one of which is that it was shot entirely on Canon’s new 5D Mark ll camera body. This camera is the future of both video and still photography, enabling photographers/videographers to shoot remarkable HD video footage and produce an exceptionally high quality still image all with the same camera body.

Mine Shoot

More from this shoot will be online soon, including video, but for now we wanted to post a frame from an blasting operation in Kentucky that was being prepared for use of the Terex SHM Miner, the most advanced, reliable, and efficient highwall mining system in the world. The SHM Miner is the first practical highwall mining system capable of coal mining parallel entries to predetermined depths while linking surface and underground operations to maximize coal recovery and profits.

We’ve been tying up some lose ends over the last few weeks, and the images below are a collection of some recent industrial photography work, both in the office and out in the field, from around the Midwest.
New Work – The Schebler Company
Posted by admin | Filed under Corporate Work, New Work, Uncategorized
Vellum Industrial Media recently completed an industrial photography project in Chicago for the Schebler Company.
Founded in 1895, the Schebler Company today operates a 157,200-sq. ft. facility in Bettendorf, IA., and employees over 160 highly skilled employees.
Schebler operates four distinct divisions: Chimney Systems, Food Equipment, Specialty Fabrication and residential/commercial Heating and Cooling Solutions. Schebler’s products can be found in Yankee Stadium, Rockefeller Center and Trump Tower/Chicago; at Caesar’s Palace, Harvard University, St. Jude’s Hospital and Disney World; inside Brach’s Confections and McKee Foods Corporation; and in countless fabrications for companies like John Deere and many others.
Vellum was hired to a series of industrial photography of many of Scheblers chimney systems installed in the downtown Chicago area, including the Trump Tower. A small excerpt of that work is below.
New Work: Portable Welding Service
Posted by admin | Filed under New Work, Web
We recently completed and launched the new web presence for North Carolina based Portable Welding Service, Inc. Vellum was approached by Portable Welding Service, an industrial subcontractor, to create their web presence as the company transitioned from an older, static site to a more dynamic Flash based presence. Prior to their site development, PWS was one of Vellum’s earliest photographic clients and we are happy to have continued working relationship with this outstanding company.
