Video production cost guide
What video production covers
Most video production bills come down to the provider's time, any setup work and ongoing support. Two providers can describe the same video production differently, so compare the pieces rather than the headline total.
Because two providers can describe the same video production in different ways, ask each one to break the total into the same line items before you compare them.
Choosing a provider for video production
Ask whether a licence or registration is required for this kind of work, confirm it with the regulator, and request proof of insurance before work starts.
Ask for two recent local jobs you can call, and read the written scope for what it leaves out as carefully as what it includes.
The things that move a video production price
The scope, the provider's track record, the deadline and whether the work is a one-off or an ongoing retainer.
Where you are matters too: outlying areas add travel, and dense cities add access and permit overhead.
Ways to keep video production costs down
Collect two or three written quotes and compare them line by line instead of on the bottom line, then ask what the price would be for payment in full.
When the work can be scheduled, moving it out of the busiest season usually lowers the bill. Ask whether a bundle or off-peak rate exists.
