| Description: | This promotional film for Alloy Steels Inc. discusses the company's patented soft cut steel bar process and how it saves time and money compared to other methods. Of course this is a straight and narrow industrial piece and here's the proof: a MS of an older man working at a drafting table... a LS of rows of steel with dollar signs superimposed over them... MS of a man operating a burn saw on the right side of the frame while frame left is a CU of the burn saw cutting a carbon steel slab... a tight LS of temperature vats, steel being lowered in... CU of a management log/production cost sheet... CU's of saw gears and operations... LS of an automated cutter and finisher... MS of middle aged man wearing a white lab coat, uses calipers to measure a steel cut... CU of younger man spray painting and numbering a finished product... LS of a metal supply grade warehouse... CU of the flame cutting process... CU of an edging machine at work, spitting shrapnel all over the place. This film covers all the steps and processes of steel cutting, from design room to inspection/shipping. | |
