Video Production Rates
Take your world by storm
How much will my video cost?
Every project is different in terms of pre-production planning, filming, and editing. Almost all of our productions are based on custom quotes that are created from a conversation around your project needs and goals. After that, we develop a custom quote for your production with options to adjust the pricing. Our quotes are “everything included,” from planning to final edit, and they come with 2 free rounds of revisions. We call these custom quotes.
But we also know that when you’re not sure what you want your video to be exactly, any uncertainty around how much it will cost can be daunting! We strive for transparency in pricing, so you there are no surprises and everything makes sense. We’ve also created a couple of PACKAGE DEALS for companies seeking simplicity and certainty. Below those, you can find examples from our custom quotes.

CUSTOM QUOTES
We’ll say it again: we don’t price projects by the hour– but we do use hourly rates to determine our “all-in-one” project prices. While you can’t use this to create your own cost estimate, it can be helpful to know just what we charge per hour/per staff person when we create our custom quotes.
CUSTOM QUOTE EXAMPLES
Every company has different goals… and every video is different– which is why most of our productions are based on custom quotes. The process is lengthier– we’ll set up a meeting to discuss your company, needs, and goals before creating a quote– but it also provides an opportunity for you to ask questions and for us to share insights that can be helpful in refining your vision. Custom quotes are also less expensive, because we can tailor our production team to your needs and budget; and all of our custom quotes are “all-inclusive,” meaning that the price we quote is the price you’ll pay. There are never over-runs. Here are a few examples of projects that began with custom quotes.

We charge by the project, not the hour. This ensures your costs are exactly what you planned for… to the penny. Hourly and “by-the-person” rates can have financial risks for our clients, so we avoid them whenever possible (you can read about this risks and benefits of different fee structures here).
In order to create an accurate budget proposal, we’ll talk with you about your vision, goals, audience, platform, and scope. For companies that are still developing their vision, we also provide a free initial consultation to help define your strategy, message, and value proposition. All of this happens before we create a quote, or sign a contract. It’s 100% free. Each video is tailored to your needs, and so is the cost.
Our proposals include two free rounds of edits, based on your feedback. To help clients understand the costs involved, we’ve written a post on our blog called, What does a Corporate Video Cost? To learn what that means for you specifically, reach out to us on our contact us page to learn more!
