Industries in Edinburgh and the video that fits

Companies with a clear presence in Edinburgh, each with its source, and the video we would make for them.

Banking

NatWest Group has its registered office at 36 St Andrew Square, Edinburgh.

Financial products are abstract, so Edinburgh firms in banking tend to need 2D explainers that show how a product works, plus short compliance-checked cut-downs for LinkedIn. Suppliers and fintechs selling into banking in Edinburgh need the same formats for their own buyers.

Video that fits: 2D explainers for financial products

Source: NatWest Group ↗

Festivals

The Edinburgh Festival Fringe takes place across the city every August.

Festival season fills Edinburgh with performers, venues and visitors. For brands and venues taking part, one planned shoot can give a highlight film, short social clips while it runs, and material for next year’s promotion.

Video that fits: event films and short social clips

Conventions and events

The EICC is Edinburgh’s international conference centre.

Trade fair video in Edinburgh works best when it is made for silence: big visuals, burned-in captions and a clear call to visit the stand.

Video that fits: conference films and speaker clips

Common questions about video in Edinburgh

Quick answers to the questions we hear most.

Can you shoot our video in Edinburgh?

Yes. UnFoldMart films on site in Edinburgh, and the shoot day, crew and permits are planned with you on the first call. The nearest UnFoldMart office is London, 535 km from Edinburgh.

German, English, French, Polish, Dutch, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese, each as its own version with subtitles. For Edinburgh we would suggest English.

Usually, yes. No image right as such exists in the UK, but recording people who can be recognised means processing personal data under the UK GDPR.

PRS for Music represents songwriters, composers and publishers, and PPL represents performers and recordings. Any track we use is licensed for your channels, and the cost sits in the quote.

Where the rules allow. In the UK, drone flights fall under the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) drone rules, so we plan any aerial shot around them before the shoot day.

The closest other cities with their own page are Glasgow (67 km), Belfast (229 km), Leeds (262 km), measured in a straight line from Edinburgh. We film there too.

For Edinburgh we would start with banking (2D explainers for financial products) and festivals (event films and short social clips).

Films for clients in India and Singapore, none yet for an Edinburgh company we can name; the closest to an Edinburgh brief is our work for VFlow Tech.
