A
GUIDE TO VIDEO COSTS
How
much a video will cost depends a great deal on what
kind of video you have in mind.
If
it’s something relatively simple that can easily
be filmed in a half-day or a day, then it won’t
cost much at all. If, however, it involves several locations
over a number of days, it’s going to be dearer.
And
– obviously – the more material we shoot,
the longer it will take to edit.
As
a yardstick, we charge between £450 and £1,500
for a day’s shoot. (All necessary equipment is
included in these prices). The lower end of this range
would represent a simple shoot that might need no more
than two crew members – and quite possibly just
one. (At least 60% of videos fall into this category.)
The
higher end represents a shoot where more crew are needed
because the video is more ambitious.
Where it comes to editing, we charge
between £250 and £350 for a day’s
edit. The cost will be at the lower end if more than
two days’ editing are needed – and at the
higher end if it’s two or less.
Our
aim – always – is to give the best value
for money, so we cost every job on a case-by-case basis,
taking into account the number of shoots days and edit
days needed and discounting accordingly.
Our
estimates are completely transparent and binding, so
you can see easily where your money is going.
