14. SINGLE
CAMERA CREW
2524
If you don’t need a full production service,
we can provide a small, single camera crew
for a set amount of time to work under
your direction.
Talented, creative,
delivering on the original brief
and fluid as the project
developed, taking on
additional last minute tasks
that provided an even better
end result. The product was
fabulous and long lasting.
No hesitation in
recommending them.

15. AERIAL FILMING
& PHOTOGRAPHY
2726
We can capture aerial footage for your film
or carry out important aerial survey work for
your business. Our aerial crews are reliable,
safe and will ensure that you get the shots
you need.
We can shoot from the air. We’ll arrange for a fully equipped
helicopter to provide spectacular aerials or our professional
drones can shoot amazing moving and still imagery.
Our Unmanned Aerial Vehicle pilots are fully qualified
and approved by the Civil Aviation Authority to carry
out a wide range of work.
Urbancroft Films
were able to provide
professional UAV footage using
a qualified pilot holding the
relevant licenses with permission
for aerial work granted by the CAA.
They did it quickly and safely
and advised us on the
safety aspects throughout
the process.

16. TIMELAPSE
FILMING
2928
Timelapse can be a great way of documenting
the construction of a building or development,
or the set up of an event.
Our timelapse film was nicely
filmed and atmospheric and
it works really well when
people are stopping to look
our advertising.
We can offer short or long term solutions
for outdoor and indoor timelapse.
Our team will install it for you and visit
your location periodically to ensure
everything is operating correctly.

17. GREENSCREEN
& STUDIO FILMING
3130
If you need to do some studio filming,
we can arrange everything for you.
They organised a
greenscreen facility for
our shoot and ensured
everything was set-up and
in place for a day of filming.
Urbancroft Films handled
everything professionally
and delivered a crisp,
well-edited customer
testimonial video.
From a simple set up for interviews to
full greenscreen work with set, props and
costume, we can provide a 250m2
broadcast
standard television studio with acoustic and
audio installation, jib and prompter facilities.
We can also provide access to sound studios,
voiceover recording booths and waiting
facilities for your contributors.

MOTIONGRAPHICS
3332
Our full time editing facilities at Film City Glasgow mean
we can accept editing and motion graphics contracts.
We can also subtitle your film in a multitude of languages,
provide audio description and British sign language.
The post-production
phase was extremely quick
and easy, with a rough cut
issued within a week on a
private web account, and the
final cut released within a few
days of us agreeing it.
The final cut was of a very high
quality – great sound
and pictures.
Motion graphics combine different creative
elements such as typography, illustration,
logos, shapes and video. These can be
animated or moved in a way that tells a story.
We create animations, infographics or in-film
graphics to enhance your films.

VOICEOVERARTISTS

looking for a voiceover artist we have a pool
of male and female voices you can choose
from and we can arrange studio time here at
Film City Glasgow. Everyone we work with is
professionally trained and used to working with
our experienced production team and crew.
I needed to work with
a team who could provide
actors and who could collaborate
with me on our scripts.
Urbancroft Films has done
this consistently well and
I greatly appreciate the
professionalism that the
team brings to all of
my projects.
We can provide actors, models or voiceover artists for your
