Hilmar Cheese Company - BTS
March 15, 2023
Just wrapping up a two stop stills project for Hilmar Cheese Company with Always Outdoors productions and the ModOp agency. I can hands down say that my favorite two things about my job are meeting a lot of really interesting people and seeing things in the world that I wouldn't otherwise get to witness. This opportunity afforded both of those.
Our first stop was in Dalhart, TX, about an hour and a half north of Amarillo to see Hilmar's flagship manufacturing facility where over 1 million pounds of cheese are made every day. We spent the day seeing every angle of the operation from initial milk delivery all the way through to packaging and shipping. It was astonishing to learn that it is less than 24 hours between when the milk comes out of the cow to when it is ready to ship as a finished cheese product.
Next we visited Hilmar, CA and the original plant and corporate offices where we saw more of the science and logistics behind this massive operation. The end use of these images will be a full rebrand for Hilmar and it was super enjoyable to work with both Chad at Always Outdoors and the team from ModOp. Can't wait to see these images start to roll out soon.
