Video Production in Scotland
Video production across Scotland that wins you customers, not compliments.
We’re Steadyhand, a video production company based in Glasgow, and we go wherever the work is: an office in the central belt, a site in the Highlands, a shop in rural Aberdeenshire. Prices are published before you call, travel is agreed before we book, and your films are back within two weeks of the shoot.

Round Thirteen
The showreel isn’t the product. The result is.
Search for video production in Scotland and you’ll find page after page of showreels: beautiful visuals, powerful storytelling. What a showreel can’t tell you is whether any of those films did anything: brought in customers, saved a team time, built the kind of trust that shortens a sale. That’s the only measure that matters, because a video is a business expense like any other.
So we work from the job backwards. Every film we make is built around what it needs to change for the business paying for it, and the films on this page are shown with exactly that: what each one changed. 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.
Where we film
From our base in Glasgow, we film for businesses all over Scotland.
In the last few years that’s meant product training films at Quarch Technology’s site in Aviemore, a monthly YouTube channel for Still Spirit, a whisky shop in rural Aberdeenshire, films for the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh, architecture films in Livingston and East Kilbride, and a live self-build site in the Lake District, because the service area runs across Scotland and the North of England.
The travel maths is simple, and it’s public. Filming across the central belt is included in every fixed quote. Further afield, travel goes into the quote as its own line, agreed up front, so there’s no mileage meter running and no surprise on the invoice. If a shoot needs an overnight stay, accommodation is £100 a night per crew member, agreed before we book anything.

Why it works
Why businesses across Scotland pick us
How we keep a shoot worth it when it's a long way from Glasgow.
- Travel you can see The central belt costs you nothing extra. Beyond it, travel is a line on the quote you agree before we book, and an overnight stay is £100 a night per crew member.
- One trip, several films When we travel to you, we make the day count. A batch filming day typically produces three or four finished films plus cutdowns.
- Measured on what changes Each film starts with the job it has to do: more enquiries, fewer support calls, better applicants. That is what we judge the edit against.
- The same people, start to finish Jack runs every project, from planning to final cut, with our own senior people, whether the shoot is in Glasgow or Aviemore. Nobody hands you on.
Results, not showreels
Both of these are Scottish businesses a long way from our front door: a whisky shop in Aberdeenshire and a technology company in the Highlands.

Video production in Scotland FAQs
Do you cover the whole of Scotland?
Yes. We’re based in Glasgow and film wherever the work is: recent shoots include Aviemore in the Highlands, a whisky shop in rural Aberdeenshire, Edinburgh, Livingston and East Kilbride. The service area runs across Scotland and the North of England.
What does travel cost?
Across the central belt, nothing: it’s included in every fixed quote. Further afield, travel goes into the quote as its own line, so you see what it costs and agree it before we book anything, and if a shoot needs an overnight stay, accommodation is £100 a night per crew member, in the quote the same way. Nothing is metered and nothing gets added afterwards.
How much does video production cost in Scotland?
Our prices are published, so it depends on the film rather than the postcode: testimonials from £1,500, case study and training films from £2,000, and corporate video from £2,500 (monthly video starts at £1,200), all excluding VAT. Outside the central belt, travel is added as its own agreed line.
Can we use a local videographer instead?
Often, yes, especially if you just need something recorded. If the film has to win clients, train customers or attract hires, it needs planning, scripting and direction as well as filming. That is the part worth travelling for.
Where does filming happen?
At your premises, your site or your event. Most business video is better for being shot where the work actually happens, and it saves your team a day of travelling. If a project genuinely needs studio space, we’ll arrange it as part of the quote.
Can you film several locations in one trip?
Yes, and it is usually the best use of the travel. If you have offices, sites or clients in more than one place, we plan the route so one trip covers them, and the quote shows exactly what that costs.
Too far away to be worth filming? It rarely is.
Tell us where you are and what the film needs to do. You’ll get a fixed price with the travel shown, and films back within two weeks of the shoot. And if we’re the wrong people for it, you’ll hear that on the call.
