What affects the price
- Crew and shoot days — usually the single biggest cost; it scales with crew size and days on set.
- Editing and post-production — colour, sound, motion graphics, and revisions, driven by how many finished videos you need.
- Number of videos — capturing several deliverables in one shoot lowers the cost per video.
- Talent and usage rights — on-camera talent and licensing for paid or broadcast use add cost.
