Video Production Services

Video production services shaped through pre production, production and post production.

This section shows how the work is thought through before the camera comes out, how it is handled on the day and how the final film is built in the edit. Each stage has its own role, but the aim stays the same, which is making the finished piece feel purposeful, polished and visually considered.

Pre Production

Pre production is where a project gains its shape. It turns a loose idea into something filmable, focused and commercially useful. The stronger this stage is, the easier it becomes to make better decisions on the shoot and in the edit.

Concept Development

Concept development is where the brief stops being broad and starts becoming specific. It is about deciding what kind of film actually suits the business, what it needs to communicate, what tone it should carry and how it should make the viewer feel. A strong concept does not just sound good in theory. It gives the project direction, restraint and a more useful visual identity from the start.

Creative Direction

Creative direction shapes the visual language of the production before anything is filmed. That can include how cinematic or restrained the piece should feel, how the camera should move, what kind of locations support the message and how the overall treatment should hold together. It gives the project a point of view instead of leaving the look and feel to chance on the day.

Script Writing

Script writing can range from a concise structure for a short branded piece to a fuller written script for presenter led or voice led work. The point is not to overload the production with words. It is to create clarity so the message stays sharp, the pacing has shape and the final edit does not feel like it is trying to discover the film afterwards.

Interview Question Development

Good interviews rarely happen by accident. The way questions are structured affects not only what people say, but how naturally and confidently they say it. Developing prompts in advance helps move contributors away from flat answers and towards responses that feel more human, more useful in the edit and more aligned with the purpose of the film.

Shot Lists, Location Planning and Scheduling

Shot planning, location planning and scheduling are what make the practical side of the day feel controlled rather than improvised. A strong shot list protects the visual ambition of the project. Careful location planning makes sure the environment supports the message. Sensible scheduling keeps the production moving and gives the edit more to work with.

Production

Production is where the planning becomes physical. Timing, coverage, performance and visual decisions all need to align without losing momentum. When the groundwork has been handled properly, the shoot feels more focused, more efficient and far less reactive.

Filming

Filming is handled with the final edit already in mind. Every setup should earn its place, every shot should support the structure of the piece and the footage captured should have a clear purpose beyond simply looking good in isolation. Whether the project is built around interviews, atmosphere or a more branded treatment, the filming stage is about gathering material that will cut together with rhythm, clarity and intent.

Interview Setups

Interview setups need to feel polished without feeling stiff. Framing, lens choice, background, sound and lighting all affect how credible and watchable a contributor appears on screen. A strong setup gives the speaker presence while keeping the focus on what is being said, and it often carries the structure of the entire film.

Branded and Commercial Coverage

Branded and commercial coverage is about capturing footage that does more than document what happened. It needs to present a business, product, team or environment in a way that feels elevated, coherent and aligned with the wider purpose of the film. The goal is to create footage that carries identity, not just evidence.

Professional Setup

A professional setup is not just about equipment. It is about how the production is handled. That includes arriving with a clear plan, working efficiently around the realities of the location, maintaining a high visual standard and managing the practical side of the shoot in a way that gives clients confidence. Projects are handled with insured working practices and drone capability where appropriate.

Post Production

Post production is where the raw material becomes a finished film. This is the stage that shapes pacing, tone, emphasis and emotional weight. A strong edit does not simply arrange footage in order. It decides what the piece is really saying and how clearly it lands.

Editing

Editing is where the structure of the film is built. Interviews are cut for clarity and rhythm, visual sequences are shaped to hold attention and the overall piece is tightened so it feels deliberate rather than overexplained. This is often where the strongest version of the project reveals itself because the edit decides what stays, what leaves and how the story actually flows from one moment to the next.

Colour Grading

Colour grading brings consistency and intention to the image. It can unify footage captured under mixed conditions, add contrast and depth, or shift the overall atmosphere of the film toward something cleaner, softer, darker or more cinematic. Good grading is about helping the visual tone support the message of the piece.

Sound Design

Sound design is one of the clearest differences between content that feels passable and content that feels complete. Dialogue needs to be clean, music needs to support the pace and subtle sound layers can give a film a much stronger sense of space and feeling. Strong sound finishing helps the whole piece feel more immersive and intentional.

Closed Captions

Closed captions improve accessibility, but they also make a project more usable in the real world, particularly on social platforms and in viewing environments where sound is not always on. Accurate captions allow the message to stay clear without compromising the presentation of the film.

Delivery Formats

Different platforms place different demands on the final files. A film intended for a website, internal presentation, paid campaign or social rollout may need different aspect ratios, durations or export settings. Delivery is planned so the final work is ready for the channels it needs to live on.

Revision Structure

A clear revision structure keeps the finishing stage efficient and avoids the project drifting. One round of revisions is included as standard, which gives room to refine messaging, trim details and make sensible final adjustments without turning the process into an open ended rework.

Video Editing Services

As part of my video production services, I provide high quality video editing.

Editing is where footage stops being raw material and starts becoming a finished piece with rhythm, clarity and purpose. It is also where tone becomes more precise and the strongest version of the project starts to take shape.

Corporate Video Editing

Large projects can quickly become difficult to manage once interviews, b roll, multiple formats and different audio sources are involved. A clear workflow keeps everything organised and makes the final outcome stronger.

Interviews

Cutting interviews is not just about making them shorter. It is about finding the strongest lines, preserving emotion and shaping answers into something that feels natural while staying on message.

Colour Grading

Colour grading helps create consistency and polish, whether the project needs a clean commercial look or something with more depth and atmosphere.

Sound Design

Sound can add energy, clarity and emotional weight to a piece, turning good footage into a more complete final film.

After Effects

Simple titles, lower thirds, graphics and finishing elements can be added where needed, with more advanced animation support available through trusted specialist partners.

03

Motion Graphics & Animation

Motion graphics and animation support are available through trusted specialist partners.

Not every brief needs a heavily designed finish, but when it does, the added graphic layer should still feel integrated with the wider production rather than bolted on afterwards.

Graphic Design

Where a brief needs more design led assets, graphic support can be sourced through trusted collaborators to keep the project visually aligned.

Animated Titles

Animated titles and lower thirds can be added where the final piece needs a stronger branded finish.

Animated Logos

Logo reveals and end screens can be produced through trusted specialist partners where a brief calls for them.

Closed Captions

Closed captions can be supplied to improve accessibility and make the content more usable across multiple platforms.

Professional Voice-Overs

Voice-over support can be sourced through trusted collaborators if a project needs narration or a more polished explainer style delivery.

04

Videographer Services

Filming-only bookings, based in Glasgow and working across Edinburgh, Scotland and UK wide. For a single videographer on the day, see my videographer page.

Not every project needs a full crew or a more layered production setup. Sometimes what matters most is having someone who can step into a live environment, work efficiently and still capture material that feels controlled and elevated.

Experience

Projects can involve fast moving events, active locations, interviews with senior staff or content where the window to capture what matters is small. The process needs to stay calm, efficient and reliable.

Professional Setup

Projects are handled with a professional setup, insured working practices and drone capability where appropriate.

Flexible Availability

Some briefs are straightforward and fast moving. Others need more planning, more control and more post production output. The service is shaped around the job rather than forcing every project into the same model.

05

Creative Content Services

Creative content services designed to turn one production into a wider body of useful material.

A single production day can carry more value when it is built with multiple outcomes in mind. The aim is to create material that works harder, stays visually consistent and gives the client more than one use for the investment.

Types of Content

The strongest content plans are not built around one asset in isolation. They are built around how a brand needs to communicate across different touchpoints and formats.

Website Content

Website content needs to do more than fill space. It should help a business look more considered, more credible and more visually resolved the moment someone lands on the page. That can include hero films, background loops, brand videos, service explainers and supporting visuals that make the site feel more intentional.

Campaign Content

Campaign content is shaped around launches, promotions and broader marketing pushes where the work needs to feel connected across different outputs. The goal is not simply to produce more material. It is to create a family of assets that share a tone, carry a consistent message and feel like part of the same visual world.

Internal Communications

Internal communications often need to feel clear and polished without becoming stiff or overworked. Whether the brief involves leadership updates, recruitment content, internal messaging or team facing films, the content should still feel considered and professionally handled rather than treated as an afterthought.

Social Media Content

Social media content works best when it is planned as part of the production from the start rather than cropped out afterwards. That can mean shorter edits, alternate framing, vertical versions and cutdowns with different pacing. The aim is to create content that suits the platform while still feeling visually aligned with the wider project.

Case Studies and Brand Stories

Case studies and brand stories are often where the strongest long term value sits. They allow a business to show how it works, what it delivers and how it wants to be perceived, but in a format that still feels watchable and visually led. Done properly, they become useful sales and positioning assets rather than generic corporate proof.

The Process

A wider content service still needs a clear process underneath it. That process is what keeps the work efficient, joined up and easier to manage from the client side.

Discovery Call

The discovery stage is where the brief, audience, commercial goal and practical requirements are clarified. It helps strip away assumptions early and gives the project a clearer foundation before any creative or production decisions are made.

Brief and Structure

Once the core aim is clear, the content is structured around what needs to be communicated and where it needs to live. That can include concept direction, script work, interview planning, shot design and deciding how different deliverables connect to each other.

Production

Production is then handled with those outputs in mind from the start. Rather than treating the filming day as a generic capture session, the work is approached in a way that gives the final edit stronger material and gives the wider content plan room to breathe.

First Cut to Delivery

Once the first cut is supplied, the project moves through one round of revisions before the final files are prepared and delivered in the right formats. This keeps the finish controlled while still giving enough room to refine the work before sign off.

Client Rate Guide

A shoot day is only one part of the work.

Editing time, pre production time and the number of final deliverables all affect how much support a project actually needs. Final quotes depend on complexity, planning, travel, edit time and output.

Half Day Filming

From £500 for shorter filming requirements where the scope is controlled and the deliverables are straightforward.

Full Day Filming

From £1,000 for a full day commercial filming booking. For a single day shoot, clients should typically expect an additional half day to full day for editing depending on the deliverables required.

Turnkey Productions

Quoted to brief. Larger productions often require pre production days before filming, and these are usually billed at the half day rate depending on the planning needed.

What the Guide Includes

Rates can cover planning, filming, editing and delivery depending on the project. One round of revisions is included as standard. Motion graphics and animation support can be added through trusted specialist partners where needed. For larger productions, pre production time is often essential to keep the shoot efficient and the final output stronger.
