You’d Never Guess – Mining operations – Transcription
[Background music can be heard]
Sunny and inspiring music
[Animated sequence]
At dawn, a family is driving on the road. The children are excited in the back seat. The mother smiles in the front seat. Establishing shot of a quarry. Medium close-up of rock excavation in the quarry.
[Spoken dialogue]
Who would have thought their excitement this morning was made possible by material extracted from a quarry last year?
[Animated sequence]
Transition shot of a paver spreading gravel and asphalt. A car drives on the road. The family gets out of the car. The family is walking in the forest. Car doors are manufactured in a steel plant.
[Spoken dialogue]
Who would have thought that the car that drove them to these spectacular locations came from such a much more humble place?
[Animated sequence]
The family around a picnic.
[Spoken dialogue]
Or that a whole summer was needed to prepare their picnic?
[Animated sequence]
A combine-harvester pours cereal grain into a trailer.
[Spoken dialogue]
In fact, for the family’s trip to run smoothly, things needed to work here first.
[Animated sequence]
We see the inside of a coal mine. A miner works, lit up by a lantern.
[Spoken dialogue]
Shell lubricants are essential for people to supply our energy…
[Animated sequence]
We see a surveyor. Transition shot of a worksite and a port. Transition shot of a train travelling on the railway. Cereal grain is poured into a truck. A person slices bread.
[Spoken dialogue]
Our food…
[Animated sequence]
A logging truck drives on the road. A house under construction.
[Spoken dialogue]
To manufacture the materials for our houses… for our furniture…
[Animated sequence]
A car drives on the road.
[Spoken dialogue]
To build roads
[Spoken dialogue]
and vehicles.
[Animated sequence]
Cars are assembled at a plant.
[Spoken dialogue]
But they are much more than just what drives the industry.
[Animated sequence]
Transition shot of the family eating the picnic meal and looking towards the camera, then exchanging looks.
[Spoken dialogue]
They make moments like this… possible.
And nothing is more important than this for our company.
[Animated sequence]
We see a man wearing a hard hat beside some machinery.
[Spoken dialogue – The man wearing the hard hat talks to the camera]
