Promotional and storytelling video for Scottish businesses and charities

What I produce

Short promotional films

Short films — typically under 60 seconds — are ideal for websites, social media and campaigns. They introduce your organisation, promote products or services, and build trust quickly with an audience that has limited time and attention.

I produce concise, engaging films that hold attention without feeling scripted or over-produced. The goal is always to feel natural and authentic — because authenticity converts better than polish. A film that feels real is worth ten that feel corporate.

Storytelling and project films

Longer storytelling films allow space for context, depth and narrative. These are particularly effective for projects with a strong sense of place or purpose — heritage work, outdoor initiatives, community projects, charity impact films — where the story behind the work is as important as the outcome itself.

These films are carefully paced and structured to help viewers understand what’s really happening, not just what’s being delivered. They work well for grant applications, annual reports, stakeholder communications, and awareness campaigns — anywhere the audience needs to feel as well as understand.

Charity and fundraising films

I regularly work with charities and community organisations across Scotland to create films that support fundraising, volunteer recruitment, and grant applications. I understand what funders are looking for and how to structure a film to clearly and credibly communicate impact.

These films focus on clarity, authenticity and emotional honesty — helping funders and supporters quickly understand the value of the work and the real difference it makes to the people it serves. Getting that balance right — between evidence and emotion — is what makes a fundraising film actually raise funds.

Event and experience films

Event films capture atmosphere, action and key moments in a way that photographs alone can’t. They extend the life of an event beyond the day itself — building awareness, supporting future funding applications, and encouraging people to get involved next time.

I cover conferences, outdoor events, community gatherings, launches and experiences across Scotland. Where it adds value, aerial drone footage can be included as part of a wider film — particularly for outdoor, tourism and location-based projects where the landscape is part of the story.

Alongside short promotional content, I also produce longer storytelling films that allow space for context, depth and narrative. These are particularly effective for projects, heritage work, outdoor initiatives and organisations with a strong sense of place or purpose.

Video for charities, funding and community projects

I regularly work with charities and community organisations across Scotland to create videos that support fundraising, volunteer recruitment and grant applications.

These films focus on clarity, impact and authenticity — helping funders and supporters quickly understand the value of the work and the difference it makes.

Events, experiences and location-led video

Video is also a powerful way to capture events, experiences and activities. Event films help build awareness, support future funding, and encourage people to get involved.

Why video and marketing work better together

Most video production companies hand over finished files and leave. Because I’m also a marketing consultant, I approach every film with your wider goals in mind — thinking about where the video will be used, how it fits your messaging, and how to get the most from it across every channel.

That means better briefs, more purposeful films, and video that genuinely supports your marketing rather than sitting on a hard drive after the initial burst of activity.

For many clients, a video project becomes the start of a broader trusted relationship — covering strategy, website, photography and ongoing support alongside the film. Everything planned together, everything consistent, one person who understands the whole picture.
