Now in our fortieth year of operation - founded in 1986 at the Red
Road in Glasgow, on the very grounds where the old Caledonian Railway
Company once ruled the rails, The Caledonian Television
Company™ is a full service video production company . We
produce business video for select clients, mainly drawn from the
99%+ of all Scottish businesses that are Sole Traders,
Micro-businesses or SMEs. We also provide support services for
select news and documentary makers; general production management
and assistance, programme research, scripting, compliance auditing,
video editing, crew and technical consultancy.
Our roots are in broadcasting,
which is why everything we do is done to UK broadcast standards. We work
to those standards (both technical and operational) in order to
protect your business interests. - Addressing the common problems of
poor programme quality, inadequate project management, legal, copyright
and technical risk; all typically associated with using
unqualified 'semi pros' and other non-specialists.
Built on traditional
values, we're proud to be a small, unpretentious,
family business. That's why we actually favour enquiries
from genuinely small businesses, tradespeople and community groups
over large corporates.
PROFESSIONAL CREWS. We only use crew who have
successfully studied TV or Film production at a legitimate
UK Academic Institution or trained with a major UK
broadcaster.
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 over forty-six years of genuine
broadcast experience..
PROFESSIONAL EQUIPMENT. We shoot on real
broadcast TV cameras. We edit to meet EBU broadcast standards
for topical content on full edit suites. And naturally, we
use broadcast lighting and sound.
Your professional video partners...
We are
legitimate masters of our trade - broadcast trained and
properly qualified people; 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.
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 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. It's also worth taking into account that
our availability tends to be fairly limited - so the sooner we start
to talk about your project, the better.
