Music videos for bands with something to say
Music video production in Perthshire and beyond for unsigned bands, solo artists and independent musicians who need strong visuals without losing the feel of the music.
Built around the song, not the template.
LightPress loves working with unsigned bands and independent artists. Over the years, we have created music videos for local and emerging musicians, helping them turn songs into visual stories, performance pieces and release assets that feel like the band.
A good music video does not need a huge label budget. It needs a clear idea, strong images, the right location, a feel for the music and an edit that understands the pace of the song.
What we create.
Music videos can be stripped back, cinematic, performance-led or built around a story. The right idea depends on the track.
Performance videos
Band-led videos built around energy, presence, lighting, movement and a strong edit.
Story-led videos
Simple narrative ideas shaped around the lyrics, mood or meaning of the song.
Live session videos
Clean, focused live-style videos for acoustic versions, stripped-back sessions and special releases.
Release content
Short clips, vertical edits, teasers and visual assets to support single or album releases.
Location shoots
Videos shaped around interesting locations, outdoor spaces, venues, studios or places that suit the track.
Social cuts
Vertical and shorter versions prepared for Instagram, TikTok, YouTube Shorts and release campaigns.
Featured work.
PERFORMANCE VIDEO
TIME STANDS STILL
This is Where It Ends was filmed in Glasgow in a white room, all of the blur effects were created in camera using a special piece of glass being waved frantically in front of the lens.

What our clients say...
“We’ve worked with Ian since our first music video and we couldn’t recommend his services enough. For all of our wild concepts and mad ideas, he’s been there to uplift them…as well as rein them in where necessary. You’re not just getting a guy with a camera, you’re getting a creative team member who will work with you, not just for you.”
