We get asked, 'How much does video production cost?' or 'Is it expensive to make a video?' Well it all depends on what is required but one thing we do know is that we like to think of ourselves as being affordable when compared to other video production companies.
Some people are under the illusion that after recording all the footage, back at the office the video simply falls out of the camera, music gets added to it and it's done. Not at all. We would say that it is back at the office where the video work really starts. As the expression goes, it's all in the edit.
First the boring bit
A video can be as short or as long as a client wants depending on how and where it is to be used. We base our fixed price quotes on how long we anticipate a project will take from start to finish, based on a client's requirements and include any other additional expenses that may be required. So the less complex the video, the lower the cost.
And because every project is different this means that generic prices are a little bit tricky, in the same way that a builder doesn't have a price for 'building a house' given the infinite number of variables there are. For us the variables that affect the cost include the length of video required, the number of locations to be visited or the number of site visits that might be required to name just a few.
