Pure Gold Films

How do you show technical capability and proven experience in a way that’s authentic and visually powerful?

That was the focus of a recent two-day shoot for Thiess Asset Services in the Hunter Valley.

Here’s a few BTS pics from the shoot.

We spent day one inside their Mount Thorley Workshop Facility, capturing machine rebuilds on a Cat 793 and D11 dozer.

On day two, we were up at first light to follow their maintenance team at Mount Pleasant Mine, filming inspections and servicing of diggers in the pit, including their new Liebherr R 9600, which looked incredible in the early morning light.

We captured a full mix of stills, drone and video content, with minimal disruption to the team on the ground. And all designed to feed into a new series of capability and social content.

We’ve worked with Thiess around Australia over the past few years.

We understand how their operations run, and we make it easy for their marketing team by taking the lead through every step of the content process, from planning to filming, editing and delivery.

Thanks to for having us on board again!

Looking forward to sharing the finished content with you soon.

Last week, Zach and I were back at Bengalla Mine in the Hunter Valley, filming the final instalment of a video all about excavator maintenance and life cycles.

The morning kicked off in thick fog, which gave us some awesome atmospheric shots. Once things cleared, we got stuck into capturing the kind of behind-the-scenes work many people don’t get a chance see.

Two highlights for me were getting inside the R 9600 excavator (always a thrill) to film engine inspections, and filming an undercarriage inspection up close.

Thanks to the team at for letting us tell this story. It’s been a privilege to shine a light on the people and processes that keep these machines running.

Fog, big iron, grease, and a camera... just a regular morning, right?

It’s been a big week of filming across the country for Pure Gold Films. One of the things we love most about our work is the variety, we get to capture some incredible projects and tell some really interesting industry stories.

Here’s what we’ve been filming this week:
✅ Central QLD – Cat dozers in a bulk push
✅ Melbourne – Drill rig case study
✅ Far North QLD – Demolition in action
✅ Brisbane – Engineering capability video

And up next:
📍 Big diggers in the Hunter Valley
📍 Internal company awards in Perth
📍 Hydraulic hammers in Fremantle
📍 Manufacturing site in Adelaide
📍 Mining industry awards in Brisbane

There’s a lot of great stories to share in the mining, civil and construction industries. Our customers are finding that video is a powerful way to communicate and engage their audiences, to enhance their company image, and showcase what they do best.

If you’ve got a story worth telling, send us a DM to see how we can help.
