Event Video

ONE Line

Ocean Network Express, or ONE Line, is a leading name in the global logistics and shipping business. With a wide network of container ships, the company moves cargo across important trade routes, offering reliable, end-to-end logistics services to clients around the world. Known for its scale, speed, and transparent operations, ONE Line focuses on innovation and keeps its partners closely connected to every step of the process.

The Ask

One Line Shipping reached out to us to create two videos:

An event video (around 2.5 minutes) capturing the service launch and the journey of a shipping container — from its inland origin in Dadri (Delhi) to its final departure from Mundra Port (Gujarat).

An operations overview film (around 10 minutes) giving a broader view of its logistics capabilities, processes, and infrastructure.

These videos were meant for both internal teams and global logistics partners — to highlight the company’s scale, processes, and operational precision.

It needed a video production company that not just shoot great visuals, but also handle the entire process - from concept to final delivery - while managing the many moving parts of a live, high-security operation. That’s where we came in.

The Execution Process

We took complete pre-to-post ownership of the project — from scripting and creative concept development to logistics planning, permissions, on-ground shoot management, and post-production.

It was a 4-day multi-location shoot with a 5-member crew covering:

Delhi (Dadri Inland Container Depot) — capturing the container loading, inspection processes, and worker activities.

En route transit visuals

Gujarat (Mundra Port) — filming dock operations, container unloading, and the container being boarded onto the ship.

We used a mix of drone shots capturing moving container trains and massive ships at Mundra Port, paired with on-ground coverage of workers, machinery, and real-time operations.

To add depth, we included interviews with senior leadership and used motion graphics to map the container’s journey from Dadri to Mundra, making it easy to follow.

The video was set to an energetic background score to keep the pace lively. Alongside the creative work, we also took care of all the contracts, agreements, and permissions — ensuring a smooth, hassle-free experience for the client.

After the shoot, we took care of editing, colour grading, motion graphics, sound design, and final mastering — delivering crisp, polished films ready for both internal and external audiences. Versions were optimized for the web, internal presentations, and LinkedIn, with optional subtitles for multilingual viewers. Everything you see in the videos was shot live on location in high resolution — no stock footage or supplied footage was used — giving it an authentic, real-world feel.

This project came with its share of challenges. Working with a mix of Japanese and Indian teams meant navigating different communication styles, so we kept things smooth with clear plans and regular updates.

Shooting at live, high-security terminals and ports required multiple permissions and careful scheduling, which we managed through pre-shoot clearances, location recces, and flexible shot plans.

Some key operations happened in the middle of the night, so our crew stayed on standby with low-light gear and alternate shifts to capture those moments without missing a beat. With a massive ship on a tight schedule, we relied on long-lens setups and multiple camera units to cover simultaneous activities without disrupting operations.
