Squinty Pixels - Golden Client Sunsets
What an incredible sunset to finish off our clients project π
As part of a Landscape Gardening project for Gavin Gray, we were lucky enough to get this perfect pink sky to finish off this project.
The wee client was amazing, making cups of tea and some biscuits to fend off the cold while I captured some truly stunning drone shots. Honestly buzzing to have got such a sky to end the project, which also gives us some autumn night shots to conclude the edit with.
Full project video coming shortly...

Squinty Pixels - Leisure Business Promo with CC Golf
It's not often that we will star in our own videos π
Seen as our Founder Jamie's driving game is like watching watching the world's angriest golfer trying his best to understand why his shots keep diverting to the moon - it's safe to say he was the perfect cast.
So when Stuart at CC Golf got in touch looking for some promo footage it only made sense that Jamie, as a depressingly terrible golfer, played the staring role.
From a video perspective, CC Golf is a gold mine. We got some nice sunset drone and gimbal shots that were akin to Miami Vice. The absolute topper of a shirt worn matched the scene with golden hues working brilliantly. We set about creating a mixed promo short showcasing their bays and range, colour graded to match, delivered in landscape and reel formats. Something short, punchy yet informative.
We shot a range of scenes, from showcasing their golf lessons with the PGA Pro, to their bays, to their range of leading New and Used clubs. The place is tremendous and ideal for a quick virtual round, right in the heart of Glasgow. A perfect place for adults and kids alike, we wanted to bring that across in our messaging.
So if you want a guy in a dodgy shirt and bad golf moves to pull together a video for your business, get in touch. It will look the part visually, not so sure the actors may be any good though.

Squinty Pixels - Creating bespoke website header videos
Ditch the dull corporate website look. Give your site some life! π₯
We have all been there. Loaded a website to find a wall of text and some corporate stock images. The internet is full of sites like this. Corporate. Lifeless. Forgettable.
π The result? Disinterested users dropping off.
The reality is you have mere seconds to grab a viewers attention. If you don't interest them, they will leave. And that's what we call a bounce in web design lingo.
You won't get a second chance to make a good first impression. So make that first impression count.
So how do we do that?
π» Web Header Videos. A well crafted web header video will showcase your business in 20 or so seconds. They should educate a viewer on your product or service before they even read the first line of text. We also export using premium settings, keeping the file size down with as much quality as possible.
Whether that's a nice opening drone shot for a construction firm, or a creatively graded shot, this is a perfect way of instantly engaging with a viewer. Invest in your website and keep your viewers interested.
Get in touch to give your website a shiny new header β¬οΈ

Quality Homes need Quality Video π¬
We recently created a project video for a client who specialises in bespoke home builds.

When drones and boats are just made for each other π
We were invited along to the Freedom Boat Club Loch Lomond open day with Malcolm Cannon, Katie O'Brien and Mike Lally to witness the maiden voyage of the RAER Spirits new sponsored boat.
Enjoying a particularly beautiful sunny day out on the water, we launched one of our drones in the air to film some incredible scenes of their boats out in the water.
With some nifty editing and colour grading we worked our magic to bring together this video.
Isn't this the life! π π€

Life saving surgery for Emergency Vets Glasgow
β Warning - Graphic content on this one
At Squinty Pixels we film and edit a lot of videos for all different types of business and organisations. There are of course a few projects that really stand out, this being one of them for me.
The Scottish SPCA came to our client emergencyvetsglasgow with a young pup needing urgency emergency treatment.
After talking to the founder, Chris, he explained the little Piper had a rare condition and needed a complex procedure to fix a Patent Ductus Arteriosus Ligation (?).
Me as a video guy had absolutely no idea what this meant of course. But the reality was that it was a high risk procedure.
It was a strange experience, watching the team at work, knowing what the outcome could be fatal. The EVG team were so incredibly focussed and it was humbling watching the work they do. Sitting in the background, watching these professionals labouring away trying to saves this dogs life.
The surgery was a massive success and Piper made a full recovery and went on to be rehomed to look forward to living a normal life.

MCH Construction - Project Progress Video - Phase 2
Looking to upgrade from TikTok videos filmed on your phone?
Now, to be straight, filming content from your phone is fine. Infact, you could argue it's an absolute must. It makes perfect short form content as it's quick to produce and keeps your audience informed and engaged.
For your 'big win' projects however, will TikTok videos really give the professional look you desire? Poor quality sound, shaky footage and a lack of depth just doesn't match to professional footage.
For our client MCH Solutions Ltd, they opted to bring us in to showcase their redevelopment for Heritage Vets in Edinburgh. With Phase 1 already complete, Phase 2 explains the works required for the second fixing stage, with an overview of all the elements involved.
This particular projects is a 3-part video project which follows the build from it's structural stage to the client launch date.
Phase 1 can be viewed here: https://lnkd.in/eXBBtKEj

Harvey Testimonial - 4K
Strong, positive feedback is always vital for us, giving us insight into what our clients liked, and perhaps disliked, about our services. There's nothing quite like getting a message back from an ecstatic client.
Hear from our client Harvey Halliday from GEMCO UK Limited on what he had to say about working with us at Squinty Pixels.
We filmed two of their installation projects in Aberdeen and Glasgow, both of which took empty commercial premises and completely transformed them into client ready workshops.
The videos spanned the entire installation process of each project, coming in at key times to cover the various stages of the build.
π₯We covered:
Interior Drone Shots
Exterior drone footage of the complex
FPV flying through the complex
Creative B-Roll in both 25 and 100 FPS
Interviews with flawless audio of key personal
Aerial and ground photography
Plenty of miles and a good few McDonalds...
And finally edited and graded in Di Vinci Resolve.
A massive thanks to all involved for making this such a great project for us to film.
One of the best things about Scotland is our Castles π°
And one of the best things about being professional drone operators is being able to film these castles π₯
A recent behind-the-scenes video taken of our owner and chief stick-twiddler Jamie Steel taking his trusty Mavic 2 Pro up over the incredible scenery of the North Sea coast.
As professional film makers, we really know how to operate drones for that cinematic look. From setting the perfect framerate, to using the correct colour profiles, we have the expertise to colour grade for stunning visual impact. Drone Operators come in all sorts of different specialities, with our creating aerial footage that looks like it belongs in a Hollywood movie.
