Manufacturing video production in Elk Grove Village
On-site video and drone footage for manufacturers, fabricators and industrial businesses in Elk Grove Village and the suburbs around O'Hare, edited for LinkedIn first, then Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and your website.
Video for Elk Grove Village shops
Elk Grove Village sits right next to O'Hare, and its business park is full of fabricators, machine shops, metal finishers, plastics and packaging companies, distributors and equipment makers. If your website is dated or your LinkedIn page hasn't posted in a while, you're not alone.
That's what we fix. Strick Media films manufacturing video on-site at your facility and turns it into a steady stream of posts for LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, plus clips for your website. Buyers, engineers and distributors get to see what you actually do before they ever pick up the phone.
What we film at an Elk Grove Village facility
Every operation is different, but a shoot day usually covers some mix of:
- Machines running. Lasers, press brakes, CNC cells, molding presses, robotic welders: the equipment buyers want to know you have.
- Your process, start to finish. Raw stock coming in, parts being made, inspection and quality checks, finished goods packed and shipped.
- Your people. Operators, techs and engineers explaining their work in plain language, only if they want to be on camera.
- The building and the yard from above. Drone footage of your facility, loading docks and trucks heading out, flown with the airspace checked first.
We follow your safety and PPE rules, work around production, and keep customer parts, prints and proprietary processes off camera. You tell us what's off-limits and it stays out.
Why LinkedIn comes first
If you sell to other businesses, LinkedIn is usually where your buyers check you out. A company page that posts real footage of your shop 3 times a week shows a purchasing manager you're active and what you can do. That's why our plan for industrial companies leads with LinkedIn, then adapts the same footage for the other platforms. More on that in LinkedIn video for manufacturers.
Drone footage near O'Hare
Being this close to O'Hare means much of Elk Grove Village is controlled airspace, so drone work takes planning. We're FAA Part 107 certified and check the airspace for your exact address before shoot day, including whether flying there needs an FAA authorization. Where we can fly, we fly. Where we can't, we tell you up front and plan the shoot around ground footage. Read more about drone video for manufacturers.
One shoot day a month, a full month of content
We don't make one video and disappear. Each month we come back for a shoot day, then edit 12 videos and about 25 photos and post 3 times a week. You approve every post before it goes out. The same plan covers your social profiles, a monthly email campaign to customers and distributors, and light website updates, so people who find you have somewhere to go. See everything on our marketing services page.
We don't promise a number of leads or followers. We promise the work, and a one-page monthly report showing what went out and how it did.
Elk Grove Village and the surrounding suburbs
We work with manufacturers and industrial businesses across Elk Grove Village and nearby Itasca, Wood Dale, Bensenville, Des Plaines, Schaumburg and Arlington Heights, along with the rest of Chicagoland. Your operation is a short drive away, which makes a monthly shoot day easy to fit around your schedule.

Keep going only if you want after the free 2 weeks.
No card up front. No contract. Cancel any month.
Elk Grove Village video questions
Do you only work with companies in Elk Grove Village?
No. We work with manufacturers and industrial businesses across Chicago, the suburbs, Northwest Indiana and southern Wisconsin. Elk Grove Village is one of the busiest industrial areas we cover.
Can you fly a drone at our facility near O'Hare?
It depends on your exact address. Much of the area is controlled airspace, so we check it before shoot day and get FAA authorization where it's available. If drone footage isn't possible at your site, we tell you before the shoot, not after.
Will filming slow down production?
No. We work around your schedule, follow your safety and PPE rules, and stay out of the way of your crew and your equipment.
What about confidential parts and processes?
You tell us what's off-limits and it stays off camera. You also approve every post before it goes out.
How do we get started?
Start with a free consultation: a 30-minute call or visit about what your marketing needs. Then a free 2-week audit and start: we audit your website, email list and social pages, send you a short written list, then fix the first items on it and get your first posts live. If you keep going, there's a shoot day, drone included where the airspace allows, every month. No card up front, no contract.
