Your Guide to Filming Locations, Logistics & Permissions: How We Keep Video Production Running Smoothly Across Edinburgh, Glasgow, Scotland & the UK
When it comes to professional video production, choosing the right location - and managing everything that comes with it - can make or break a project. At Walker Creative, we’ve spent over a decade refining the process. From Edinburgh videography projects to large-scale business video UK campaigns, our team has directed, organised and managed shoots across Scotland, the UK and beyond.
With experience filming everywhere from Edinburgh, Glasgow, Manchester and London, to locations across Europe and even South Africa, we’ve learned how to navigate every logistical challenge imaginable. Whether it’s securing location permissions, coordinating with local authorities, managing travel schedules or adapting to weather conditions, you can count on us as a trustworthy and reliable video production company that knows how to keep things running smoothly.
Choosing the Right Location for Your Video Project
Your filming location should always support the story you want to tell and the aims of your video. Whether that’s a brand video production UK campaign, a promotional business film, or corporate video case studies UK.

Brand & Business Videos
For brand films, we often film in:
Your office, studio, factory or retail space
Customer or client locations to showcase real-world product or service use
Outdoor or personal locations that enrich the brand story
Spaces that reflect your team culture or founder’s story
This approach helps us create authentic business video UK content that connects with audiences.
Product Shoots
For product-focused videos, we might film in:
A professional studio we organise on your behalf
Outdoor environments that showcase the product in action
Example: hillside settings for outdoor clothing
Example: trails or urban locations for running shoes or tech products
Every project is different, so we work with you during pre-production to choose the most effective location(s) for your creative goals.
