HexagonVideo and Photography Partner
As the global demand for precious metals intensifies, the pressure to extract resources more responsibly and efficiently is growing. In Saudi Arabia, Ma’aden is leading that charge — and reshaping the future of mining in the process.
In partnership with Hexagon, Ma’aden has launched the world’s first fully digital gold mine: a site where AI, automation, and intelligent data systems work in tandem to minimise downtime, enhance safety, and optimise every stage of the extraction process.
Palladian was commissioned to create a film capturing this quiet revolution in mining. From blast monitoring software to autonomous fleet controls and driver fatigue systems, the film explores the technology transforming the industry — and the incredible people driving it forward.

- Hexagon CERN- For over 30 years, Hexagon has been a critical partner in CERN, the world’s most ambitious particle accelerator project, enabling groundbreaking discoveries about the origins of the universe. Palladian was commissioned to create a film that showcases this unique partnership, blending the technical complexities of CERN with the human curiosity that drives innovation. - The film explores the vast scale of CERN’s operation—from its 30km track to the intricate ATLAS experiment—while highlighting Hexagon’s role in maintaining precision and solving challenges within a machine made up of over 100 million components. By focusing on both the technological feats and the human stories behind them, we brought to life the collaboration and commitment fuelling one of the most important scientific endeavours in history. 
- Hexagon - Oracle Red Bull Racing- In the high-stakes world of Formula 1, Red Bull Racing’s success is powered by key technical partnerships, with Hexagon metrology equipment playing a crucial role. Palladian was given exclusive access to Red Bull Racing’s Milton Keynes factory to capture how Hexagon’s cutting-edge technology helps the team maintain their competitive edge. - Through dynamic cinematography and storytelling, we showcased the synergy between Hexagon’s precision tools and Red Bull Racing’s engineering. The resulting film highlighted Hexagon's pivotal contribution to Red Bull’s success, reinforcing their position as an industry leader. 
- Hexagon - Skanska Rogfast Tunnel- Carving a tunnel beneath Norway’s dramatic fjords is no ordinary engineering feat. At over 27 kilometres long and 390 metres below sea level, the Rogfast tunnel will become the world’s deepest and longest undersea road tunnel — a project defined by precision, endurance, and trust in technology. - To achieve it, Skanska has turned to Hexagon’s advanced surveying and positioning systems — tools that make the invisible visible, guiding teams through rock and water with millimetre accuracy. From real-time monitoring to data-driven decision-making, Hexagon’s technology ensures that every blast, bore, and breakthrough happens exactly as planned. - Palladian was commissioned to create a film that captures this extraordinary process — not just the scale of the engineering, but also the millimetre precision required. The result is a story of innovation beneath the surface: how data, determination, and design come together to shape one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects in Europe.
