Volvo EC360 Excavator Series

Construction Vehicle - Shanghai 2025

In 2022, our Shanghai-based production team was brought on by a French agency to support Volvo Construction Equipment after they parted ways with a previous local crew. The client was looking for a dependable video production partner to bring their heavy machinery to life on screen—starting with one excavator model as a trial.

Our successful delivery of that initial shoot led to continued collaboration. Over the next two months, we filmed six Volvo construction vehicles, each requiring three full days of outdoor filming. The work was intense—not only due to the scale of the machinery but also because we were shooting during one of the hottest summers in over a century. To endure the extreme heat, our team equipped the site with camping gear: shade tarps, coolers, folding chairs, and plenty of sunscreen.

The Volvo EC360 excavator stood out as the most demanding shoot. Set at a remote limestone mine, the shoot was interrupted by heavy rain and falling debris, forcing a temporary evacuation. Despite the conditions, our crew adapted quickly and safely resumed production. This massive 360-ton excavator, purpose-built for mining, demonstrated incredible power and agility—climbing steep terrain and shattering rock with ease.

Each model featured in this campaign had unique selling points, from electric-powered systems to high-performance diesel engines. The EC360's size and raw capability made it a highlight, and even our seasoned crew couldn’t resist snapping selfies from its elevated cab.

Despite the physical challenges, the Volvo excavator series was a rewarding production. The collaboration with both the French agency and Volvo’s local operators resulted in a high-impact video series showcasing real construction power in action.
