Local details
Working in Scottish Borders.
What should we confirm before video production in the Scottish Borders?
Distance between locations, sound, weather, contributor times and seasonal light are built into the call sheet. The edit structure and required platforms are agreed before filming. Send the audience, main message, contributors, locations, channels, approximate duration, deadline and any need for stills, captions or aerial footage.
Does John travel to the Scottish Borders?
Borders work is served from Edinburgh. The quotation allows for travel between towns, estates or venues, rather than treating every location as if it were a single city-centre address.
What is included in the final delivery?
Delivery can include a master film, shorter social edits, captions and alternative aspect ratios when these are agreed at the brief stage. Music and aerial work can also be scoped.
