Valley Chrome Commercial Case Study
American-Made Strength in Every Bumper
About the Project
The Valley Chrome Plating project, produced by Sequoia Films, captured the essence of American craftsmanship in the trucking industry.
Known for manufacturing high-quality steel bumpers and custom truck parts, Valley Chrome wanted to showcase their expertise, dedication to quality, and the impact of their products at Mid-America Trucking Show 2025—the largest trucking industry event in North America.
Sequoia Films was tasked with producing a cinematic brand film that highlights Valley Chrome’s commitment to durability, precision, and American-made manufacturing.
Our approach was clear:
- Show, don’t tell—bringing the process to life through dynamic visuals and immersive storytelling.
- Capture scale & power—using drone shots, roller cam movements, and close-ups to highlight the sheer strength of their products.
- Create a lasting brand impact—delivering a standout video that would make Valley Chrome unforgettable at the show and beyond.

A visually striking, high-energy brand film that not only enhances Valley Chrome’s trade show presence but also serves as a long-term asset for their sales and marketing efforts.
