Harkesh Rubber: Cryogenic Deflashing — Traditionally Impossible Shots now Possible with Realistic AI Video

Keywords: Cryogenic Deflashing Video, Industrial Process Explainer, Realistic AI Replication, Harkesh Rubber Case Study, Virtual Production Manufacturing, Deflashing Workflow, Micro-detail Industrial Video, Process Explainer Film, AI Manufacturing Video Case Study, AI-driven Industrial visuals

Key Takeaways

• Harkesh Rubber wanted a process explainer for cryogenic deflashing that showed every step, every machine, and every finish detail, without the cost, disruption, and limitations of on-site filming.

• SBN Media delivered a hyper-realistic AI video, replicating the original machine, product, and workflow precisely.

• The result is a close-up, technically accurate film that communicates capability, quality, and trust, while saving time and cost.

The Challenge

Manufacturing stories often fail not for lack of substance, but for lack of visibility. Harkesh Rubber faced three constraints:

• The process is delicate, cold, and time sensitive, making on-site filming difficult.

• Critical details are sub-millimetre, and traditional cameras could not capture certain angles without interfering with the workflow.

• The client wanted complete fidelity, the exact machine, exact colours, and accurate product appearance, while keeping production risk and cost low.

10 Core Concepts every AI Video Creator should know

What Harkesh Rubber wanted

• A process explainer that shows the full cryogenic deflashing workflow, from pre-freeze preparation to final inspection.

• Visuals that are technically accurate, trustworthy, and usable for client pitches, website embeds, and trade presentations.

• Minimal downtime at the factory, low production cost, and rapid turnaround.

Our Approach

We treated the brief as a technical product story, not just a generic promo. Key decisions we made:

1. Positioned the film as a guided process walkthrough, using macro closeups, controlled cutaways, and sequential steps.

2. Used advanced virtual production techniques to recreate the exact deflashing machine and product, avoiding the need for disruptive on-site shoots.

3. Realistic AI-generated shots with process-driven sequencing, ensuring clarity for both technical buyers and procurement teams.

Deflashing process shown, step by step

1. Discovery and references — We documented the exact machine specs, colours, product geometry, and the shop floor workflow. Client photos and short reference clips guided the replication.

2. Process mapping — We broke the deflashing workflow into discrete visual steps: pre-freeze prep, freezing, tumbling or blasting, thawing, finishing, inspection. This became the film’s spine.

3. AI-driven visual recreation — Instead of staging the factory, we generated hyper-realistic shots that mirror the original machine, lighting, and textures. This included macro surface details and machine finishes that are usually impossible to film without special rigs.

4. Sound design and narration — Clean engaging music, purpose-built SFX, and an editorial rhythm that explains without overwhelming.

5. Quality validation — Harkesh Rubber reviewed renders, we iterated on colour match and mechanical detail, then locked the final film.

Why AI visuals were the right choice

• No factory downtime, no process interruption.

• Access to impossible angles, macro details, and simulated slow-motion that would be impractical on the shop floor.

• High fidelity replication — the machine colour, controls, product geometry, and deflashing behaviour were matched to client references, preserving trust.

• Faster iterations — client feedback could be applied to renders, avoiding repeat shoots and travel.

• Cost efficiency, especially for complex industrial processes that require specialised filming rigs.

The Result

• A process explainer that is technically accurate, visually compelling, and easy to understand for both technical buyers and decision makers.

• Visuals that “don’t look AI”, they look like professional industrial cinematography, while remaining economical to produce.

• A film that positions Harkesh Rubber as transparent, capable, and modern, helping them win confidence with domestic and international clients.

Client feedback highlights

• The replication mirrored the factory machine and product exactly, including colour and finishing.

• The level of visible detail and the clarity of the process sequence exceeded expectations.

• The client valued the minimal disruption, and the ability to use the film across sales, website, and trade outreach.

Key Takeaways for Manufacturers

• If a process is difficult to film, consider virtual production as a primary option, not just a fallback.

• Accurate visual replication builds trust, and trust converts into business.

• Story structure matters: show the steps, highlight the controls, and prove your outcome with inspection closeups.
