Approximately 7.5 minutes of silent, unedited raw 16mm color film footage, shot for a Larry Harmon Production project titled “Scholle,” filmed in Altadena, California. This is established immediately by the opening shot of a classic film clapperboard — “Scene 1, Take 1” — held up in front of the camera in a busy industrial setting.
The vast majority of the footage consists of a single long, locked-off wide shot of an industrial packaging or filling facility. A worker dressed entirely in white (uniform, trousers, and cap) stands on a rubber mat at the center of the frame, operating a large, complex industrial machine. Prominent in the upper-left corner of the frame is a large wall clock, which ticks forward in real time throughout the footage (starting near noon), serving as an unintentional but fascinating timestamp of the shoot. The machinery around the worker is substantial — a mix of stainless steel and grey industrial equipment with pneumatic tubing, wiring, and precision mechanical components. In the background, other workers and industrial structures are partially visible.
In the final portion of the video, the camera cuts to closer shots of the same machinery and worker. A medium close-up shows the worker leaning over the machine’s control area, with stacked cardboard boxes visible nearby. The footage then moves to an extreme close-up of the machine’s filling head — a stainless steel mechanism with precision nozzles — and finally to a tight shot of the worker’s hands carefully guiding a clear plastic bag or film pouch through the machine’s filling nozzle, making it clear the machine is a bag-filling or liquid/product packaging line, consistent with the “Scholle” production name (Scholle Packaging is a real company known for flexible packaging). The footage ends without any title cards or credits.
