You’d Never Guess – Mining operations – Transcription

[Background music can be heard]

Sunny and inspiring music

[Animated sequence]

At dawn, a family is driving on the road. The children are excited in the back seat. The mother smiles in the front seat. Establishing shot of a quarry. Medium close-up of rock excavation in the quarry.

[Spoken dialogue]

Who would have thought their excitement this morning was made possible by material extracted from a quarry last year?

[Animated sequence]

Transition shot of a paver spreading gravel and asphalt. A car drives on the road. The family gets out of the car. The family is walking in the forest. Car doors are manufactured in a steel plant.

[Spoken dialogue]

Who would have thought that the car that drove them to these spectacular locations came from such a much more humble place?

[Animated sequence]

The family around a picnic.

[Spoken dialogue]

Or that a whole summer was needed to prepare their picnic?

[Animated sequence]

A combine-harvester pours cereal grain into a trailer.

[Spoken dialogue]

In fact, for the family’s trip to run smoothly, things needed to work here first.

[Animated sequence]

We see the inside of a coal mine. A miner works, lit up by a lantern.

[Spoken dialogue]

Shell lubricants are essential for people to supply our energy…

[Animated sequence]

We see a surveyor. Transition shot of a worksite and a port. Transition shot of a train travelling on the railway. Cereal grain is poured into a truck. A person slices bread.

[Spoken dialogue]

Our food…

[Animated sequence]

A logging truck drives on the road. A house under construction.

[Spoken dialogue]

To manufacture the materials for our houses… for our furniture…

[Animated sequence]

A car drives on the road.

[Spoken dialogue]

To build roads

[Spoken dialogue]

and vehicles.

[Animated sequence]

Cars are assembled at a plant.

[Spoken dialogue]

But they are much more than just what drives the industry.

[Animated sequence]

Transition shot of the family eating the picnic meal and looking towards the camera, then exchanging looks.

[Spoken dialogue]

They make moments like this… possible.

And nothing is more important than this for our company.

[Animated sequence]

We see a man wearing a hard hat beside some machinery.

[Spoken dialogue – The man wearing the hard hat talks to the camera]

Who would have thought?

[Spoken dialogue – The narrator]

Who would have thought?

[Animated sequence]

A title card fades in.
