About

I’m Scot Macmillan, a Musselburgh-based videographer and filmmaker with a 2:1 BA (Hons) in Film and Media from Queen Margaret University. I shoot on Blackmagic Pocket 4K and Pocket 6K Pro, and I specialise in creating trailers, behind-the-scenes films, social content, and artist interviews for festivals and brands. I pride myself on taking projects from concept through filming to editing and publishing, often under tight timeframes, while keeping a high standard of quality and attention to detail.

Since launching my freelance career in 2016, I’ve worked on music videos, live performances, short narrative and documentary pieces, animations, and branded content—from planning to execution. My experience as a Production Assistant at MBP Ltd_Phone details not available.
