VIDEO AND MOTION

Video Production & Drone across the Scottish Highlands

Moving image is the most powerful tool a business has right now. It stops the scroll, builds trust faster than any other format, and shows people what your business, your space, or your product is really like. We produce promotional video, drone and aerial footage, property walkthroughs, social reels and brand films for businesses across Nairn, Inverness and the wider Highlands.

Video Production and Drone Filming in Inverness, Nairn and Across the Highlands

Video has become the default way people discover and evaluate businesses. Whether someone is watching a property walkthrough, a short promotional reel on Instagram, or a brand film on a website homepage - they are making a judgement about whether your business is worth their time and money. The quality of that video shapes the answer.

At Curious Pixels we produce video content for businesses of all types and sizes across the Scottish Highlands. Promotional films for businesses in Inverness. Drone and aerial footage for tourism operators in Aviemore and Grantown-on-Spey. Property walkthroughs for short term lets and estate agents across Nairn, Forres and Elgin. Social media reels for retailers, hospitality businesses and trades across Dingwall, Tain and Invergordon. If it moves, we can film it.

Our drone operation is fully CAA registered with a Flyer ID and A2 Certificate of Competency, which means we can fly legally and safely for commercial work across the Highlands. The aerial perspective we can offer is genuinely transformative for properties, venues, tourism businesses, and any brand that wants to show off the incredible landscape on their doorstep.

As with everything at Curious Pixels, video works best when it sits within a wider creative strategy. Pair it with photography for a complete visual content package, feed it into your social media, or use it to bring your website to life. For ongoing video content throughout the year, Pixel+ makes that easy and affordable.

WHY CURIOUS PIXELS

Highland video production with commercial quality and local knowledge.

  • We are based in Nairn and shoot across the full Highland region - Inverness, Aviemore, Forres, Elgin, Dingwall and beyond. We know the light, the landscape, and the locations. That local knowledge makes a genuine difference to the quality of the footage we come back with.

  • Not everyone offering drone footage in the Highlands is properly registered or insured. We are fully CAA compliant with a valid Flyer ID and full public liability insurance. You get great aerial footage with no legal risk to you or your business.

  • Because we also handle branding, web design, and social media, every piece of video we produce is made with your full brand in mind. Nothing looks disconnected. Everything works together.

  • You deal directly with Paul throughout. No production company layers, no subcontracted crews, no confusion about who is responsible for what. When your video needs to be right, it gets done right — because there is nobody to pass the blame to.

FAQ

Questions we get asked a lot

  • Video pricing depends on the length and complexity of the project, the number of shoot days, whether drone footage is involved, and the level of editing required. A short social media reel is very different in scope from a full promotional brand film. The best starting point is a free consultation — we will talk through what you need and give you a clear, honest quote.

  • Yes, fully. We hold a valid CAA Flyer ID and full public liability insurance, which covers us for commercial drone flying across the UK. We handle all airspace checks, risk assessments, and any required permissions ahead of every drone shoot. You get great aerial footage with no legal exposure for your business.

  • We assess every location carefully in advance using airspace mapping tools and will always be upfront about what is and is not possible safely and legally at a given site. Some locations — particularly near airports or in controlled airspace — require additional permissions or may not be suitable for drone work at all. We will tell you this before you book, not after.

  • Edited video is typically delivered within seven working days of the shoot. For larger or more complex projects this may be longer — we will always give you a clear delivery date upfront. If you have a specific deadline for a launch, event, or campaign, let us know at the time of booking and we will work around it where possible.

  • We deliver your final video in the formats you need — typically high-resolution MP4 for web and social use, plus vertical cuts for Instagram Reels and Stories if required. If you need specific formats for broadcast, digital signage, or third-party platforms, just let us know and we will make sure you have everything you need.

  • Yes — and this is often the most efficient and cost-effective approach. Combining a video shoot with a photography session on the same day means you come away with a complete set of visual content without doubling up on setup time or costs. We plan and manage both together seamlessly.
