Find an award-winning corporate video crew in Edinburgh
It can feel difficult to produce a corporate video that will really reach your target audience. With so many brands creating video content, how do you stand out? Impressive footage filmed on location can help in this regard, which raises a second question: Where should you go to capture these shots? Edinburgh, the famously beautiful capital of Scotland, can be the perfect destination.
There are numerous advantages to working in Edinburgh for your next corporate video project. The most obvious is the wide range of distinctive and compelling locales, encompassing centuries-old castles, gleaming postmodern buildings and everything in between. If you venture beyond the city limits, you’ll quickly find yourself in the Scottish countryside, where rolling green hills can give your video a peaceful sense of place.
Since Edinburgh has served as a hub for film and television production, it boasts advantages beyond its natural beauty, such as dedicated soundstages. There are also subtle benefits to working in Edinburgh: Scotland’s northerly location means the summer daylight hours are longer than in England, giving you extra time to shoot. With a knowledgeable crew by your side, you can quickly turn Edinburgh into your recurring corporate video base of operations.
Why work with an expert video crew in Edinburgh?
Crews Control’s teams are all made up of professionals based in the areas where they work. This means when you work with us in Edinburgh, you’re paired with locals who can help you make the most of your time in the Scottish capital. This starts with the decision on how to get your people to the city, whether it makes most sense to fly into Edinburgh or drive from Glasgow (only an hour). There are also extensive rail links both within Edinburgh and connecting the city to the rest of the U.K., which your crew can help you navigate.
In addition to their logistical knowledge, our crews can provide useful legal and permitting know-how, helping you get in line with the relevant policies and liaise with the local film office. While no permit is needed for filming on city streets, provided you don’t obstruct traffic, there are applications to file to ensure your project can go ahead.
Crews Control professionals aren’t just on hand for their local insights — they’re the most skilled and knowledgeable creators in their areas. With these experts on your side, you can elevate the quality of your brand’s finished content while taking pressure off your internal stakeholders and on-screen talent.

Our video production services in Edinburgh
There are dozens of reasons to film a corporate video, and they fit into two general categories: internal and external. Internal videos are aimed at your own employees and specifically designed to boost their morale and engagement. These include announcements from the C-suite as well as custom educational content designed to accompany internally developed training modules.
External videos cover a wider variety of scenarios than internal videos. Some of these outward-facing clips are designed to impart very specific information to your audience, while others are meant to build your name recognition and visibility among as many viewers as possible. Useful external video types include product explainers, social media ads, behind-the-scenes clips, documentaries, live streams and TV commercials.
You can work with an expert video crew to make sure the form of your video matches its intent. This means finding a tone that goes well with both your overall brand goals and the specific video’s format. You can create a clip with Hollywood production values, a casual, lived-in feel or any style in between.

What’s it like producing a corporate video in Edinburgh?
Figuring out your plan for filming in Edinburgh in advance can help you make the most of your time in the city. Seeing the ways in which Edinburgh is unique, standing out from London, Manchester or Glasgow, leads to more unique and compelling video content. A few local facts to keep in mind, as suggested by Director of Photography Stewart Menelaws, include:
- Surrounding hills provide stunning panoramas: If you get out of the city and climb nearby hills and cliffs, you can see incredible swaths of the Scottish countryside stretching out around you. Popular beauty spots include Arthur’s Seat and Calton Hill.
- The Old Town is filled with photogenic attractions: If you follow the Royal Mile between Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace, you’ll find the Scottish Parliament, St. Giles Cathedral, The Real Mary King’s Close and many more. It’s important to remember, however, that this is a busy tourist area, so any B-roll captured here is more likely to be crowd footage than architectural beauty shots.
- Plenty of soundstage space is available: If your video requires effects shots, green-screen footage or anything filmed indoors, Edinburgh offers destinations such as FirstStage Studios, which contains over 100,000 square feet of stage areas. You can configure the space as needed for your project.
- The city offers seasonal charm: While winter may be too cold to film conventional outdoor shots, you can still capture compelling B-roll. Edinburgh is a city that hosts many visually stunning festivals, and it tends to light up around Christmas.
With the right crew on your side, you can see Edinburgh at its best and capture footage that will enrich your next corporate video projects.

Prepared, Creative, Professional and on the 10 scale an 11
I’ve been producing and directing videos for Broadcast (NBC/ABC/CNN/C-SPAN) and Corporate for over 30 years – and Matthew and Dan were one of the best crews I have EVER worked with.
Thanks
Dan
The footage was well done.
Just got out of the edit. Tim did a great job. Considering the talent we gave him to work with, I would go as far as to say he’s a bit of a magician.
Thanks for the help!
Jim
Thanks for the great shoot yesterday.
Everything was great and I wanted to let you know that our Executive Producer said the footage we got from the different regions was the best footage he had ever seen come from remote crews that we didn’t have control over. That is a great compliment coming from him.
I appreciate all your help and look forward to working with you again!
