Round Thirteen
Most business video looks great and changes nothing
Edinburgh isn’t short of good-looking video. Firms commission a film, everyone’s pleased with it at launch, and a year on nobody can point to a single customer it brought in. The film did what it was designed to do, which was look the part. Nobody designed it to do anything else.
That’s the real cost. While a video sits there being admired, your marketing is explaining things a buyer could simply watch, your sales calls start from zero every time, and the trust that shortens a sale never gets built.
We start from the other end: what the video needs to change. More enquiries, a faster sale, fewer repeated questions. Then the film gets built around that job. And if what you need isn’t something we’re good at, we’d rather tell you on the first call than find out on the shoot.
Filming in Edinburgh
Edinburgh runs on reputation. Its firms, institutions and cultural organisations sell trust before they sell anything else, and a video has to earn it.
A lot of what we film here is for finance, law, education, the public sector and the arts: places where the reputation is the product and a glossy advert does more harm than good. So the films lean on real people, your clients, your staff and the people you serve, saying what’s true on camera.
Our Edinburgh work includes the Traverse Theatre on Cambridge Street, where we filmed Class Act, their flagship schools project, and an international advocacy campaign film we made with Creative Scotland. Just west of the city, Glenmorangie vouched for Threesixty Architecture on camera in Livingston.
For us Edinburgh is a day trip, so there’s no overnight stay and no travel line on your quote.

What we make for Edinburgh businesses
The six kinds of film Edinburgh organisations ask us for most. Every price is a from-price plus VAT, fixed before we film, with travel included.
Client stories for professional firms · from £2,000
In law, finance and advisory work you can’t say you’re the best, but your clients can. A case study film lets them explain the problem you solved in their own words. Selling to other businesses? See B2B video production.
Testimonials · from £1,500
Short films of your customers vouching for you, cut for your website, proposals and LinkedIn. The quickest proof you can put in front of a sceptical buyer. See testimonial video production.
Conference and event films · from £1,500
Conferences, launches and award nights across the city, turned into a highlight film and social clips that keep working after the room empties. See event video production.
Public bodies, charities and the arts · from £2,500
Films that explain your work to funders, boards and the public, like Class Act for the Traverse and our advocacy campaign film with Creative Scotland. Priced as corporate video.
Recruitment films · from £2,000
Edinburgh’s graduates and experienced hires have plenty of employers to choose from. A recruitment film shows them your people and what the work is really like. See recruitment video production.
Monthly video · from £1,200/month
Regular filming days that keep your LinkedIn, website and socials stocked every month. See social media video production and the Pro Video Plan.
Need something else, like a training film or a homepage promo? We make those too. Twenty minutes on a call is usually enough to work out which film you actually need.
Why it works
Why businesses pick us for video production in Edinburgh
What you get when you bring us in for a film in Edinburgh.
- A day trip, not a travel line Edinburgh is 45 minutes along the M8 from our Glasgow base. We come through for the day, so your quote never carries mileage or a hotel.
- Published prices Every service has a from-price on our pricing page. You know the budget before the first call, and the quote we agree is the invoice you get.
- Built around one job Before we plan a single shot, we agree what the film is for: more enquiries, stronger applications, a board that says yes. Then we judge the edit against that.
- Same senior team, call to edit Jack leads the call, the shoot and the edit with our own senior team. Nobody hands you to an account manager, and nobody on set is meeting you for the first time.
Results, not showreels
We measure our films by what they change for the business, not the views they get.

Video production in Edinburgh FAQs
Do you charge extra to film in Edinburgh?
No. Edinburgh is a day trip from our Glasgow base, so there is no travel line, no mileage and no hotel on your quote. What we agree before filming is what we invoice.
Do you have a studio in Edinburgh?
No. Almost every film we make is shot where the organisation actually works, because that is what makes it believable: your office, your theatre, your site. We bring everything we need. If a project really does need a studio, we hire one near you and include it in the quote.
How much does video production cost in Edinburgh?
Exactly what it costs in Glasgow, because our prices are published and travel is included: testimonials from £1,500, case study and recruitment films from £2,000, corporate video from £2,500 and monthly video from £1,200 a month, all plus VAT. Our pricing page breaks each one down.
Do I need a videographer or a video production company?
It depends what the film has to do. If you just want an event recorded, an Edinburgh videographer is often the sensible choice. If the film has to win clients, attract hires or persuade a board, you need planning, scripting and direction around the filming, and that is what a production company is for.
Can you film during the Festival in August?
Yes, but book early. Venues, streets and diaries fill up fast in August. Because we travel in for the day, you won’t find August hotel prices built into your quote.
Do you work with public bodies and charities?
Yes. We have made films for the Traverse Theatre and worked with Creative Scotland on a film for an international advocacy campaign. Funders and boards want clarity more than polish, and we plan for that from the start.
Still explaining what you do, one meeting at a time?
A film can make that case before you’re in the room. Twenty minutes on a call, a fixed price, and films back within two weeks of your Edinburgh shoot. If we’re not the right fit, we’ll say so.
