The automotive video where we get to blow up an EV…

Ever wondered what a burning EV looks like? Then check out our this product video where we blow one up…

We shoot a lot of cool automotive videos, but it’s rare that we set stuff on fire.. and even rarer when it’s an EV!

So it was great fun to help Prosol UK produce an advertising video to demonstrate their new EV fire blanket.

Burning a EV is not risk free! There are toxic fumes, the danger of explosions from bursting tyres etc, and of course, you know its on fire!

So a risk assessment and plan to keep everyone safe was put together, and fingers were crossed for good weather!

On the day luck was with us, and a perfect morning greeted the team at HORIBA MIRA, and deployed three of our Fuji cameras, as well as our drone.

Surprisingly it was harder to get the car to burn than we expected!

But after a bit of effort the Leaf met its end in a spectacular fashion, complete with several explosions!

Prosol’s new EV fire blanket was then successfully deployed by Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Service, and worked as designed!

We then went on to produce a full spread of videos for Prosol. This included a letterboxed main video, complete with data storytelling bits, a social edit, and rushes.

This video is a spectacular variant of a simple product video. Combining a clear example of the product in action has produced both a demo and How-to video.

Ensuring that this company video has multiple uses across the marketing and customer support effort.
