Overview
You’ll have a finished video that looks like the plan you agreed, with usable sound, accurate captions, and exports that drop straight into your website, socials, or internal platform without extra chasing.
You need videography that’s shot cleanly, sounds good, and comes back as an edit you can sign off without the schedule slipping. We’ll lock the plan before the shoot, record audio like it matters, and deliver the video in the formats you need. If you’d like to go ahead, you can sign and book dates straight after the pricing section.
We start with a pre-production call to agree the purpose, audience, and must-have moments, then we build a shot list around that. We do a half-day recce where it’s worth it, so we can plan camera positions, power, light, and audio. On the day we run a small crew, then we sync, edit, clean up audio, add captions, and manage review rounds to keep approvals moving.
About us
We’re Taymouth Pictures, a three-person videography team working across Dundee and beyond. We cover wedding days, events, and organisational work where the brief has to survive multiple opinions. We built our way of working around one thing clients ask for again and again: a smooth run-up to shoot day, then an edit that matches what was agreed.
paragraphs
We get picked when the stakes are time, clarity, and sound. We write the shot list down, confirm what’s included before we roll a camera, and we plan audio per location instead of hoping it works. In the edit, we keep versions tidy and changes tracked, so you can sign off without a fog of emails and “which cut is this?” moments.
Who you will work with
You’ll deal with the same three people from planning through delivery, so decisions stay quick and nothing gets lost in handovers.
Team
Euan MacLeod, Director of photography. Euan is our Director of photography. He runs camera and lighting on the day, and he’ll choose positions that keep the space usable while still getting the shots.
Kirsty Hogg, Producer. Kirsty is our Producer. She organises schedules, shot lists, access, and approvals, and she’ll tell you exactly what we need from you before we arrive.
Calum Rennie, Editor. Calum is our Editor. He handles the sync and multicam timeline, audio cleanup, captions, and exports, and he’ll keep version changes clear and contained.
Selected work
Here are a few recent videography projects that show how we cover live moments, planned messages, and edits that have to pass sign-off.
Portfolio
Wedding day film. One-camera coverage for the ceremony and speeches, plus a second camera for key moments. We built the edit around vows and speeches, then delivered a short highlight and a longer film the couple could watch end-to-end.
Corporate promo video. A half-day shoot across one site with scripted lines and real working footage. We recorded clean dialogue, cut a 60-90 second main piece, then supplied shorter social versions with captions for silent viewing.
Conference coverage edit. Two-camera coverage for a talk with a separate audio feed. We delivered a highlight cut for promotion and a full-record edit with slides readable and sound levelled, ready for upload the same week.
“The sound was spot on, and the first cut matched what we agreed.”

How we work
You’ll always know what we’re filming, what we’re listening for, and what happens next. We keep the plan written down, we keep the shoot day calm, and we keep the edit moving with a simple review loop.
1. Pre-production call Week 1 We run a call to pin down purpose, audience, key messages or moments, and any must-have shots. We turn that into a shot list and a simple schedule so everyone knows what’s happening when. You’ll send us any logos, brand fonts, or key names we need to spell correctly. 2. Location recce Week 1-2 We do a half-day recce where it will save time on the day. We check where the action happens, where the cleanest sound is likely to be, and what power and light are available. We’ll agree camera positions and a backup plan if weather or access changes. 3. Shoot day Week 2-4 We arrive early enough to set up, test audio, and roll without rushing. We’ll run 1-2 cameras depending on the plan, and we’ll record sound with dedicated mics rather than relying on the camera. If there are speakers, we’ll do a quick level check before they start. 4. Edit and sign-off Week 3-6 We sync footage, build the first cut, then clean up audio and add captions once the structure is right. We send the cut for review with a clear way to leave notes against timecodes. We apply changes, then prepare final exports in the agreed formats for delivery.
Shot list and schedule
A written plan for what we’re filming and when, including any key lines, moments, or pieces to camera so the day runs to time.
FINAL EDITED VIDEO
One finished edit in the agreed length and style, colour-corrected and mixed so dialogue and music sit at sensible levels.
CAPTION FILE AND BURNED-IN VERSION
Captions supplied as a file for platforms that accept them, plus a version with captions burned in for places that don’t.
Social cutdowns
Shorter exports in the sizes you need for common channels, taken from the approved edit so messaging stays consistent.
FULL-RECORD EDIT (IF REQUIRED)
A complete edit of a talk, ceremony, training session, or event segment, cut cleanly with readable picture and levelled sound.
EXPORT PACK
A set of final files named clearly, supplied in the right formats for web, internal sharing, or playback on screens.
What it costs
These are starting points based on a typical shoot, edit, captions, and delivery. Once we confirm hours and deliverables, we’ll lock the price before shoot day.
Priced items
Getting started
If the scope and schedule look right, you can book the work here and we’ll put the first planning call in the diary.
1. Sign this proposal to confirm the scope and price. 2. Pay the 40% booking invoice within 14 days. 3. Send us any logos, brand notes, names, and must-have messages so we can build the shot list.
Signature
Fee summary
Payment
To book videography, we take 40% when you sign. The remaining 60% is due when the finished work is handed over. Invoices are payable within 14 days of the invoice date.
Schedule and hours. Your price covers the on-site hours in the package, plus setup and pack-down within that time. If the day runs over for reasons outside our control, we’ll agree any extra time in writing before we continue.
What we need from you. Before shoot day we need a single point of contact, access details, and sign-off on the shot list and schedule. For corporate work, we also need any brand rules, logos, and required captions style.
Audio on the day. We record sound with dedicated mics and a backup where we can. If a room is very echoey or outdoors is windy, we’ll suggest changes on the day. If we cannot place mics or access a desk feed, audio options are limited.
Review and changes
Each package includes the stated rounds of changes after the first cut. A change round means one set of notes gathered into a single list. A new version is a change of brief, structure, or approved messaging.
Changes to scope. If the scope changes after we agree the shot list and schedule, we’ll price the change before we do the work. Common scope changes are extra filming hours, extra deliverables, or a new edit direction after sign-off.
Delivery and sign-off. We’ll deliver the export pack in the agreed formats, including a caption file and a burned-in version. We keep project files and camera originals for 30 days after final delivery, then storage is not guaranteed.
Usage and ownership. Once the final 60% is paid, you own the finished videos we deliver. We keep ownership of our project files and raw footage. We may use short clips in our portfolio unless you ask for confidentiality in writing.
