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.
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 once ruled the rails. Built on
traditional values, we're proud to be a small unpretentious
family business, primarily serving the 99%+ of all Scottish businesses
that are Sole Traders, Micro-businesses or SMEs. - As well of course as
third sector and public service providers.
Caledonian TV™ is owned and run
by a legitimate broadcast professional with well over 40 years of
industry experience to their name - not someone who simply
'drifted into' video production; but the real deal! That level of
expertise, legitimacy and grounded industry understanding is
the cornerstone of what we do...
Our offer is quite
simple; experienced, specifically-qualified people with the
right tools, do the job they are actually trained and qualified to do,
at a reasonable price. No smoke, no mirrors, no hard
sell. - No "mug's eyeful"!
We can make complete programmes
from as little as £600 for sales, promotion, social media, training,
education, exhibition, advertising and most other legitimate business
purposes. Our low prices are achieved simply by eliminating cost-drivers
that do not contribute to the quality of your final programme.
We work to UK broadcast
standards (both technical and operational) in order to protect your
business interests; helping to solve the problems of quality, project,
legal, and technical risk associated with using unqualified, untrained
'semi pros' and other non-specialists. - Vital, in an increasingly
litigious real-world with an increasingly toxic social media
environment.
We have no time or patience for
the ridiculous hyperbole commonly used to promote video production
services. - It's not in our long term interests! We simply don't do
the hard sell nor do we upsell unnecessary services. We're upfront about
the fact that video is not always a good fit for every project or
circumstance. - Our first priority is to help you explore
what's feasible within your budget to meet your needs. An
initial consultation or casual chat with us is free, informal and
commits you to nothing... No pressure, no nonsense. - Let's
just see what is possible.
Our core values
are client focused; protecting your business interests, providing
excellent value and cutting through the rubbish to make high
quality video an affordable reality for the majority of small local
businesses.
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, compliance monitoring and auditing, video
editing, crew and technical consultancy.
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 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.
Legitimate professionals - with the right tools for the job!
Your professional video partners...
As video
production specialists we routinely project-manage productions from
the initial concept stage to delivery and upload - coordinating and
sourcing other specialists as required; providing a complete
script-to-screen service.
We are equally comfortable
working with your in-house team or choice of independent
creative professionals to complete specific project stages or
components. Similarly, we are happy to work in direct partnership
with other legitimate creative industry practitioners, to
bring high quality video production in to their offering.
All of our work is covered by
strict, legally binding non-disclosure (NDA) 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; ensuring issues such as copyright and
advertising codes are properly addressed.
Our approach is unusual in that
we are highly selective about the work we take on and the projects we
become involved with. - We are strongly biased towards serving the
micro/small business community and limit our
availability such that we have no requirement to push for the closure of
a 'sale'.
Care to talk? Want to find out more? See what's
possible? Or just push some early-stage ideas around the table? No
cost, no obligation, no hard-sell or silly sales patter! Just an
honest, down to earth, face-to-face chat. We're always pleased to
hear from potential clients and partners; and invite you to get in
touch without any obligation or pressure, as early as possible in
your project.
