Video Production at HORIBA MIRA Tech Park

HORIBA MIRA Technology Park is the number one global location for sustainable mobility innovation. Spanning 4 million square feet of innovative space, it is a vibrant hub for global tech pioneers working in clean energy, cybersecurity, autonomous vehicles and AI. Strategically positioned at the heart of the UK’s mobility industry, the park offers tailored property solutions that empower businesses to scale and innovate.

We have extensive experience and excellent access at MIRA Technology Park. Over the years, we’ve worked on numerous projects requiring varying confidentiality for major manufacturers. Our team understands the unique environment at MIRA and can navigate this premier destination for mobility pioneers. We’ve documented everything from autonomous vehicle testing to EV fire demonstrations with precision and creativity.

Your confidentiality is our priority. We regularly work on projects requiring high degrees of discretion for major manufacturers. For example, our work with the Human Drive consortium at MIRA involved capturing autonomous vehicle research during live testing and development. This required close cooperation with the development team to ensure we captured compelling footage while maintaining strict confidentiality protocols. Our experienced crews understand the sensitive nature of automotive innovation and adapt accordingly.

Our portfolio includes a diverse range of automotive projects at MIRA. We’ve produced videos showcasing autonomous vehicle testing, EV technology demonstrations, engineering recruitment, automotive benchmarking and specialised testing facilities. For instance, our work on the ASSURED CAV facility development lasted 2.5 years. It produced everything from social media outputs to in-depth website videos using our advanced car rig and multiple drones.

You can access our complete range of video production services at MIRA, including drone footage, ground camera work, car rig setups, interview production, and specialised automotive filming. We scale our approach based on your needs – from single-person crews with compact gear to four-person teams with extensive equipment. We are conveniently located for MIRA near Birmingham, making us an ideal partner for all your automotive video or still photography requirements.

Photography at Horiba MIRA is a service we also provide, and have been doing so for more than a decade!

Often photography and video is combined into a single project,  but we do regularly provide standalone automotive photography at MIRA.

Recent photography clients include MAN, the VCA, NSS and MIRA’s parent company, HORIBA Japan.

We provide event, pr, product, automotive, corporate and portrait photography, using drones and regular cameras.

You can count on our experience working alongside active development teams. For the Human Drive consortium project at MIRA, we coordinated closely with engineers during live autonomous vehicle testing. This multi-day shoot required a two-person crew to work efficiently without disrupting the critical development work. Similarly, for the ASSURED CAV facility videos, we captured footage during active testing scenarios, using our specialised equipment to get compelling shots while respecting safety protocols and development timelines.

Drone video and photography at Horiba MIRA is possible with the right consents and care.

With MIRA being a live testing facility, its imperative that the Drone operator manages the shoot in conjunction with MIRA.

Contact us to arrange the necessary consents.   Page One are a fully licensed CAA and EASA drone operator who have undertaken hundreds of flights at Horiba MIRA.

The cost for video production at Horiba MIRA is similar to any other corporate video production costs.

There are some additional issues which need to be addressed to shoot at MIRA, but our extensive contacts and experience on site makes that easy.

Cost for a simple half day shoot with rushes including all pre-production consents, drone etc, start at £800 ex vat.

Your project continues even when conditions aren’t ideal. We pride ourselves on adaptability. When filming REE Automotive’s winter testing in Sweden, we worked in temperatures as low as -20°C with specialised equipment to ensure quality footage. For the Prosol UK EV fire demonstration, we deployed a four-person crew with multiple camera setups to capture a one-time event perfectly. During COVID restrictions, we rethought content approaches for HORIBA Europe, combining new animations with existing footage to deliver all videos on time and under budget

Your innovative technologies deserve compelling visual stories. For REE Automotive, we produced a benchmarking video that demonstrated how their REEcorners enable superior agility and flexibility compared to conventional commercial vehicles. Despite challenging weather conditions, we combined ground and drone cameras with VFX and motion graphics to communicate the message clearly. For HORIBA Europe, we created hybrid animation/live-action videos explaining their fuel cell and nano-particle measurement solutions, helping them communicate complex technologies to potential customers worldwide.

You might have seen our work for Haldex, where we created a comprehensive engineering recruitment video at their MIRA Technology Park facility. Shot over two days with a four-person crew, we interviewed numerous colleagues about their experiences and culture at Haldex. We then illustrated these stories with engaging B-roll around the facility using gimballed cameras and drone footage. Beyond the full-length video, we produced shorter social media versions that helped Haldex attract engineering talent through multiple channels.
