What Affects the Price
Video production costs are not arbitrary. Every line item in your budget traces back to a production decision. Here is what moves the needle most.
A single shoot day with one camera operator is the baseline. Each additional shoot day adds crew time, equipment rental, and location costs. Most corporate videos require one to three shoot days.
Shooting in one location is simpler and less expensive than moving crew and equipment across multiple sites. Out-of-state or international shoots add travel costs that are always disclosed upfront.
Professional SAG actors cost more than using your own employees as on-screen talent. Many corporate videos perform well with real employees — authentic faces build credibility. We will advise on what works for your goals.
Adding 2D animation, 3D elements, or custom motion graphics significantly increases post-production time. A motion graphics artist can spend days building even a short animated sequence. This is where budgets grow most unexpectedly.
Professional music licensing for broadcast and web distribution has a real cost. Library music runs $200–$1,000 per track. Custom original scores are more expensive. We include this transparently in every estimate.
A single 2-minute video is one deliverable. If you need a 30-second cut for social, a 15-second version for broadcast, and a separate international version — each additional edit adds post-production time and cost.
Our Process
We start with questions. The better we understand your project, the more accurate our estimate will be. There is no guesswork and no hidden fees — every cost is explained before you sign anything.
Once we understand your goals, target audience, video format, intended length, and distribution platform, we build an itemized budget using a production spreadsheet that has been refined across hundreds of projects. You see every line item.
