"Making The Video" of Marling's Shingle Delivery Video

Shingles and shingle deliveries are a focal point in the success of Marling Lumber Company. We, here at Marling, know that, and we get excited about roofing materials. We take pride in our delivery service and have formed excellent relationships with our roofing contractors and home owners who buy from us. We take so much pride in our shingle delivery service that we have made an attempt to bring you behind the scenes to show how how the whole process works from start to finish.

For the past week, we have been recording footage of the shingle delivery process. We recorded loading the shingles on the truck, strapping them down, the drive to the jobsite, and booming the shingles up to the roof. Our drivers, Jon Schroeder and Terry Streuly, were kind enough to let us record them in action. Dave Marling went out and recorded Terry Streuly loading and strapping down the truck. For those of you who know "TS," you know that there is never a dull moment. For those of you who don't know TS-- get to know him. He has definitely enjoyed watching himself on the internet since we've posted the video. He's famous.

Nick Kettle and Jon Schroeder went out on a shingle delivery and recorded the drive to the jobsite. You can get a first-person view of riding in one of our big, bumpy trucks. After the drive, the footage kept running at the jobsite. Jon flexed his ripped biceps and strong back, throwing all of the shingles himself while Nick stood in the driveway recording. Nick knows to leave the hard work to the professsionals, and Jon's definitely a pro.

As you will see, or have seen, in the video, it's raining. The aspect of our company that separates us from the rest of the industry is our customer service. If a roofer wants his or her material in the rain, we get wet. The rain also had a lot to do with the song selection for our video. "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC is the music on the video. We thought it was a very fitting for the video under the circumstances. It also brings a hilarious intensity to the video, especially with some of the slow motion shots.

Dave Marling did all of the editing for the video. He might be extremely busy with everything that's going on within the company, but he put in the extra hours to edit this video to, what we're going to call, a flawed perfection. It wouldn't be far off to say that he might have enjoyed this production a little too much... He played with the transitions, some slow motion, and the music.

We are really happy with the finished product. It was a lot of fun making it, and we plan on continuing to improve on the quality of our videos in the future. We hope you enjoy the video as much as we enjoy making it.
