Legitimate professionals - with the right tools
for the job!
When it comes
to business video, our focus is on small businesses run by
real people living in the real world.
The Caledonian Television
Company™ is a full service business video production company
founded in 1986 at the Red Road in Glasgow - on the very grounds where
the old Caledonian Railway Company once ruled the rails. Built on
traditional working class values and heritage; we're proud to be a small
unpretentious family business.
We've been applying the
skills and techniques of broadcast production to business video for well
over thirty-five years now. - And for all that time, we've been
making corporate video an affordable option for ordinary
businesses. That's done by stripping away all the costly nonsense
and meaningless hyperbole often associated with corporate video
production; leaving only what's relevant to those who really do mean
business - integrity, good value and high quality.
We primarily serve the
99%+ of all Scottish businesses that are Sole Traders,
Micro-businesses or SMEs. - As well of course as cost conscious third
sector and public service providers.
We are legitimate masters
of our trade - broadcast trained and properly qualified; dedicated video
production specialists working collaboratively with
the Creative, Marketing, Design, PR and Training industries and
directly with business owners and their in-house teams to
provide a complete, fully project-managed, script to screen
video production service.
Caledonian TV™ is owned
and run by a legitimate broadcast professional with well over 40 years
of industry experience to their name - the real deal! Our offer is
simple; experienced, specifically-qualified people with the
right tools, do the job they are actually trained to do, at a
reasonable price.
We work to UK broadcast
standards (both technical and operational) in order to protect your
business interests. We address the common problems of poor programme
quality, inadequate project management, legal, copyright and technical
risk; all typically associated with using unqualified, untrained 'semi
pros' and other non-specialists.
We can take you from initial
idea to a programme which is legally safe and technically fit to be
shown anywhere from YouTube, broadcast on TV or shown in a commercial
cinema. If a 'one stop' solution is what you need - we can provide that.
If a 'crew only' service is what you need - we're happy to provide that
too.
Costly? We can make complete
programmes from as little as £800 for sales, promotion, social
media, training, education, exhibition, advertising and most other
legitimate business purposes. - no catch, no upsell, no hard sell, no
mug's eyeful!
PROFESSIONAL CREWS. We only use crew who have
successfully studied TV or Film production at a legitimate UK
Academic Institution and/or trained with a major UK
broadcaster such as the BBC or one of the ITV companies.
First established in October 1986 - The
Caledonian Television Company™ is still personally
owned and run by its founder, Matt Quinn; an ITV-trained
cameraman - and former College Lecturer in Television
Production - with well over forty years of genuine
broadcast experience..
PROFESSIONAL EQUIPMENT. We shoot on real
broadcast TV cameras - NOT DSLRs! We edit to meet EBU broadcast
standards for topical content on full edit suites. And naturally,
we use traditional broadcast lighting and sound.
Your professional video partners...
We make real television
programmes for real-world businesses. We also provide
production services for select news and documentary makers. - General
production management and assistance, programme research and editorial
services, scripting, compliance monitoring and auditing, video
editing, crew and technical consultancy etc.
All of our work is covered as
standard by strict, legally binding non-disclosure policies that provide
you with full security over your project. From the initial
consultation on, you can be sure that all discussions are in strict
confidence and that your sensitive commercial information is safe with
us. - We also work proactively to protect your intellectual
property and that of others; for example ensuring that issues such as
copyright and advertising codes are properly addressed.
We don't believe in giving
anyone the hard sell. However, we do encourage people to contact
us as early as possible in the planning stages of their project. This
allows us to advise and plan well in advance and identify cost
savings; avoiding the situation where projects and facilities booked at
the eleventh hour create unnecessary cost-drivers and/or project
risk. - An informal chat or email exchange with us costs and
commits you to nothing.
We invite you to get in touch without any obligation or
pressure, as early as possible in your project.
