In fifty years of oilfield down hole work I wished that I had this kind of animation instead of my crude drawings to explain down hole problems. Thank you all for this.

The production value on this was simply amazing. I love the transitions between simulation and real-life. I also appreciate - as someone who's worked on oil drilling rigs and all sorts of heavy industrial areas - the mention of how hard the work is and the working condition for the crews. That part often gets left out of those videos, as they tend to focus more on the engineering and technical aspects of these projects. It's difficult to make someone who's never worked in those conditions appreciate exactly how loud, dirty, heavy, hard, dusty, and dangerous the work really is, day in, day out, from start to finish. You did a good job, well done, and well done to the crew!

The accurate alignment of the breach point at the end is incredible

Haha, yup. Had to modify a quite expensive CNCed part for a one-off test system because I missed a screw and had to revise the design when the part was already in production. All I had on site were handtools so I did my best to get it right. I use my Sylvac Mikron to find the exact spot and mark it with a center punch. I measure and it's spot on. I grab the smallest drill bit they had in their tool box and drill a tiny pilot hole, measure, and it's spot on. Then I take a 2,5mm bit, drill a larger pilot hole, measure, and it's absolutely perfectly centered where it needs to be. So I take the 6,8mm bit, drill, measure and the hole is off by almost 3mm. Off into the trash the part goes. I went home early that day.

Gorgeous filming! Removing the gatekeepers from video creation and distribution has led to an extraordinary flowering of talent. Those mining guys are doing truly heroic work. Blessings to them!
