Corporate Vision - For SMALL Businesses!
Truly professional video production - made
affordable!
When it comes to
business video our focus is on small businesses run by real
people living in the real world.
According to ONS figures, over
95% of all UK businesses are 'micro' businesses with another 4% being
'small'. 0.9% are 'medium enterprises'. And from experience, we know
that most of the people behind these real world businesses are
spending their own money - not looking for some sort of 'corporate
experience' nor to live out a ridiculous 'executive fantasy' at their
employer's expense! - We are therefore here for the 99%+
who actually just need a truly professional video service, at a reasonable
prince; not an adult crèche!
Decent
value and a truly professional service, based on decades of legitimate
production experience.
First established in 1986, near
the site of the old Caledonian Railway's base in Springburn - Caledonian
Television™ is an affordable, full service, business video production
company founded and run by a properly trained, legitimate qualified
broadcast professional. We make creative video to broadcast standards for
sales, promotion, social media, training, education, exhibition,
advertising and most other other business purposes. We do that, at a
realistic price, with complete programmes possible from as little as £600
- VAT free.
Our complete 'script to screen'
service; works to help eliminate the potential legal, quality, project and
technical risks to your business posed by using unqualified, untrained
'semi pros', and other non-specialists. - Something that's important
in an increasingly litigious world! Every programme we make is
planned and executed in the same way as broadcast television programmes
are - compliant with the relevant ISO standards, as well as being produced
to the internationally recognised EBU technical requirements for topical
content.
We keep our
offering practical, pragmatic, affordable and relevant to how your
real-world business works!
Although we've shot videos
everywhere from Hong Kong to Hamilton (including the one in Ontario) over
the past 36 years, we're not going to spin you some Dell-Boy style line
about being 'global traders'. - Nor do we trot out rubbish pushing
the pretence of being experts in everything and anything that is buzzword
driven. We're very proud to be a small Scottish family microbusiness
serving others like us - face to face, feet on the ground, no
pretence and no nonsense! - Legitimate specialists doing the job
we're qualified to do!
Our low prices are achieved by
cutting-away cost-drivers which add nothing to the quality of your
programme. For example, we don't expect you to pay through
the nose for us to be holed up in an expensive city-centre office. - And
we don't try to sell what we have to offer off the back of childish
novelties. - So, no cupcakes, 'free' bar, or other
nonsense.
We keep our
offering practical, pragmatic, affordable and relevant to how your
real-world business works!
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.
The Caledonian Television
Company™ is still owned and run by its founder, Matt Quinn; an
ITV-trained cameraman - and former Lecturer in Television
Production - with over forty years of genuine
broadcast experience to his name!
PROFESSIONAL EQUIPMENT. We shoot on real broadcast
TV cameras - NOT DSLRs! We edit to meet EBU AS-11 broadcast
standards for topical content on full edit suites. And naturally, we
use traditional broadcast lighting and sound.
Legitimate professionals - with the right
tools for the job!
Your professional video partners...
As a matter of policy,
although we are multi-skilled, we do not 'poach work' from
other creative specialists. As masters of our own trade we simply
don't have to! - And we're very happy to point out that the
'Jack of All Trades' model is rarely works in anyone's best
interests.
This means that we don't pretend to be 'Marketers', 'Designers' , 'PR
Consultants' or anything else! - Because we do know enough about each of
these disciplines to understand and respect their complexity! We're not
in the business of upselling overpriced hosting or SEO services either!
And in particular, one thing we will never do is attempt to hold your
video 'hostage' - by tying you down to some dubious 'analytics' or SEO
deal! - Any legitimate Web Designer will build suitable
analytics into your web presence as a matter of course.
Should you actually be a legitimate professional working in
any of these creative fields, we will work with you in partnership to
integrate high quality video into your own offering.
Your programme will be
made and mastered to the same technical standards required by UK and
European broadcasters for HD topical content. We project-manage all
programmes using the same techniques used in broadcast - and are led by
a seasoned broadcast professional with over 40 years of experience in
Educational, Broadcast and Business TV. In order to protect your
business interests, we particularly ensure copyright and
operational compliance are properly handled at every
production stage. And we deliver your programme in a variety of formats
fit for anywhere from YouTube or other Social Media platforms, to a
commercial cinema, streaming or broadcast via terrestrial or satellite
TV or distributed on disc, memory key, embedded in media products or
simply shown running on a TV set on your exhibition stand or
reception.
At Caledonian
Television™ we make video for intelligent people...
