Complete factory video recording service: process, real-world projects, and pricing.

5/5 - (1 vote)

Factory videography involves capturing the infrastructure, production lines, quality control systems, and personnel of a factory into a 3-5 minute short film. Businesses use this film to showcase their facilities to import partners, B2B clients, tender committees, and candidates. Right Media offers comprehensive nationwide factory video services: site survey, scriptwriting, 1-3 days of filming, drone footage, post-production, and delivery with an English translation. Below is our team's workflow, completed projects, and pricing information.

When does a business need to film factory videos?

Most of Right Media's clients order factory video recordings when a specific event requiring visuals is approaching.

Video of the Far Eastern Polytex factory: dyeing area, sewing line, and QC room in Binh Duong. View project details.

Before the fair or exhibition: The films will be screened at the booth and sent to visitors after the event. This should begin 4–6 weeks before the opening day.
Our foreign partners requested to see the factory: Importers and international brands want to see clean production lines, manufacturing facilities, and warehouses before placing orders or conducting audits. Far Eastern Polytex, Khánh Hoàng Seaprex, and KSF all produce films for this purpose.
Company profile, tender documents: A single video link can replace multiple pages describing production capabilities.
Large-scale recruitment: A separate recruitment segment was cut from the same filming session, adding scenes of the cafeteria, dormitories, and worker testimonials.
Rebranding or commemorating an anniversary: KSF filmed its factory just in time for its brand repositioning in 2023; Nissin Electric filmed it to celebrate its 20th anniversary.

How does a factory video differ from a corporate video or a product video?

These three types of videos are often referred to interchangeably, but they answer three different questions:

Factory video Answering the question "How does this factory produce its products?": production lines, machinery, QC, warehouse, and the people operating them.
Corporate films Answer the question "who is this company?": its history, vision, market, and leadership; the factory is only a part of it.
Product video Answering the question "What can this product do?": Filmed in a studio or on-location setting, no need to go into a workshop.

LCB Battery is a prime example: factory footage demonstrates battery production capacity, while product video Filmed separately in the studio to show the battery powering the equipment. Read more: What is a factory film?.

What does a factory video consist of?

Right Media produced the film in four parts, the order of which may change depending on the purpose:

ABC Bakery Factory Film: Filmed in a clean production area, delivered in both Vietnamese and English versions. View project details.

Location and infrastructure overview: Flycam footage shows the gate, grounds, and location relative to the port, highway, and industrial zone. Foreign viewers can immediately understand the scale and logistics.
Production line: The focus of the film is on the running machinery, the main processes, and the level of automation; with food production, it's the clean production area; with mechanics, it's the CNC machines and precision.
Quality control and personnel: The QC room, laboratory, and ISO certification are shown with real images, not just logos; engineers and workers are also shown at work.
Warehousing and supply capacity: Finished goods inventory, shipments, capacity, and markets served.

The factory video production process at Right Media

Consultation and finalization of film objectives (1–2 days): Film for partners, trade shows, recruitment, or tender documents; do you need an English or Chinese version?
Factory survey: The cinematographer and account director visited the factory, selected camera angles, identified restricted areas, and determined the production schedule. For Nissin Electric, the survey of the three factories was done two weeks before filming began.
Script and filming schedule: The script undergoes multiple rounds of revisions with the client before filming begins, as revisions on paper are cheaper than reshoots.
Filming takes 1–3 days: The crew adhered to factory regulations: protective gear, visitor passes, and no stopping of the production line. A factory representative accompanied them and reviewed the footage on-site.
Post-production: Editing, color grading, graphic design, voiceovers and subtitles; submitting drafts for review and revision.
Hand over: The complete film, agreed-upon versions, and all source footage.

What preparations does a business need to make before filming?

Whether the filming day goes smoothly or not depends on the factory's week of preparation beforehand. After the survey, Right Media sends a personalized checklist to each factory; below are the items that almost every factory needs:

A contact person They have the authority to make decisions on set: leading the crew to the correct area, reviewing shots on the spot, and handling situations when a camera isn't running on schedule.
Production schedule for the filming dayWhich machines are running at which times, and which production lines are undergoing maintenance? Scenes of "machines running" cannot be staged, so the filming schedule follows the shifts.
Clean and organize the area that will be filmed.Cleaning the machines, removing excess pallets, replacing faded area nameplates, and touching up scratches on the main walkway. The cameras see more than the naked eye.
Full uniforms for workers in the frameThe helmet, jacket, gloves, and goggles must meet safety regulations. If someone lacks a safety helmet in a scene, that scene is unsuitable for FDI visitors.
The list of details is not allowed to be filmed.Customer labels on products, drawings, formulas, and production areas for partners require confidentiality.
Approved capacity data: capacity, area, number of employees, certifications, export markets. The graphics in the film use these exact numbers, which remain unchanged after editing.
The person who will conduct the interview. (If applicable): Team leader, shift supervisor, QC engineer; 3–5 key points each, no need to memorize.
Procedures for entry, exit, and drone flightThe crew list, vehicle license plates, and equipment must be submitted to the industrial park management 1-2 days in advance.

What are the deliverables?

The company receives enough files to use for at least three years without needing to revisit the project. Right Media's standard handover for a factory video project:

The complete 4K and Full HD movie is available in MP4 H.264 format, compatible with all devices, and includes a clean version (without text) for later translation into other languages.
Package options include: a full version, a 60-second version for trade shows or social media, and a recruitment version; each has a 9:16 vertical version if the business posts on TikTok or Reels.
Separate subtitle files (SRT) in Vietnamese and English, to be played on YouTube or screens with subtitles enabled.
All source footage, organized by location and date, is delivered via hard drive or download link; this is the property of the business.
The background music is copyrighted for commercial use, with accompanying licenses to give businesses peace of mind when running advertisements and playing it at events.
A set of 20–40 still images extracted from footage, or taken during the same shoot when adding a photography service, for use on the website and company profile.

Security measures when filming a processing plant for a partner.

Many of Right Media's client factories manufacture for international brands and are bound by confidentiality agreements. The team's approach is as follows: signing non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) before the site visit; creating a list of restricted areas and details to be filmed with the foreman; obscuring or blurring client labels, order codes, and blueprints within the frame; sending edited footage for the company's approval of each scene before exporting the file; and not posting behind-the-scenes footage on Right Media's channel without the company's consent. Films of Tanaka and Hoang Kim Precision's factories were both shot this way, showcasing their manufacturing capabilities without revealing their clients' products.

Service area

The main crew is based in Ho Chi Minh City, and filming is free of charge within a 100km radius of Binh Duong, Dong Nai, Long An, Tay Ninh, and Ba Ria - Vung Tau. In the North, the crew is based in Hanoi and has filmed in Bac Ninh (Nissin Electric), Hung Yen (Tanaka), Hai Phong, and Ha Nam. For other provinces and Da Nang, transportation, tickets, and accommodation costs will be quoted based on the actual number of days, clearly stated in the quotation. Because the factory is far away, the survey and filming will be combined into a single trip whenever possible to reduce travel costs.

For CNC machining, mold making, or precision component manufacturing, Right Media offers separate packages on its website. Filming a promotional video for a CNC machining company..

If a business is preparing to participate in a trade fair, they can cut a 30–60 second clip from this video to show at their booth; see the trade fair video production service by Right Media.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to film during the production shift?

Between shifts, when the equipment is running smoothly and the workers are in rhythm, usually from 9 AM to 11 AM and 2 PM to 4 PM. At the beginning of the shift, the equipment starts up; at the end of the shift, they clean up. These two times offer fewer scenic views. Flycam and outdoor shots are filmed at 6–7 AM or 4–5 PM to avoid the harsh sunlight.

Can we show a video of the factory at our booth at the trade fair?

Yes, but a separate 30-60 second version with no sound, large text, and loop playback is recommended. The 3-5 minute video with commentary should be sent to partners and placed on the website; at the trade show, visitors only look for a few seconds, so a shorter version is needed. Right Media will publish this version according to the exact pixel count and aspect ratio of the booth's LED screen.

Does filming in a clean production area affect the production shift?

No, if they scout ahead. The crew wears protective gear, follows designated paths, and films while the production line is running; that's how they did it at ABC Bakery and Far Eastern Polytex.

Do I need permission to fly a drone in an industrial zone?

Yes. Most industrial parks require advance registration of personnel, equipment, and flight schedules, usually one to two days in advance. Right Media handles this registration during the survey phase.

Does the factory located in a remote province charge extra fees?

Travel and accommodation costs for the crew are included, as clearly stated in the quote. Right Media filmed in Binh Duong, Long An, Bac Ninh, Hung Yen, Hai Phong, and Dong Nai.

Are there English, Chinese, and Japanese versions?

Yes. Khánh Hoàng Seaprex has an English version, Việt Nhật has a bilingual Vietnamese-Japanese version, and ABC Bakery and Far Eastern Polytex have English versions.

How many videos are produced in one filming session?

Typically, there are 2–3 versions: the full film, a short version for trade shows or social media, and a casting call if needed. The number of versions is finalized during the scriptwriting phase to ensure the crew can shoot enough scenes in one go.

What is the timeframe from signing the contract to receiving the film?

3–4 weeks for one factory. The Nissin Electric project included scriptwriting, two days of filming at three factories, and editing and delivery within three weeks to meet the 20th anniversary celebration deadline.

Businesses needing factory videos before trade shows or meetings with partners should contact Right Media for advice on a filming schedule that fits their production shifts.
