The Problem

Sangha Systems needed a video to overview the company's history and Bitcoin Mining project in Hennepin.

Production Process

We had a few virtual meetings with Sangha Systems to determine the goals for the project and the topics we would cover. We used that to create an outline for the video, then flew out to Hennepin, Illinois, for 3 days to document the ongoing mining operations and infrastructure development. We used two Black Magic 6k Pocket Cinema Cameras and a Red Scarlet for the filming. After a few months of editing, the main documentary was complete. Then we broke it down into shorter sections for marketing and social media.

3D solar panels were added in post-production.

Animation Style

We used Blender to composite 3D models over drone shots throughout the video. When Spencer talks about the future, spaceships fly across the site. We used After Effects to create the 2D animation overlaid on the video.
