Video production pricing
Ranges pulled from 120+ completed jobs. Every project gets its own quote — these are what we've actually billed, not placeholder ranges.
Pricing by service type
What affects cost
Shoot days: One day on set is typically $4,000–$8,000 for crew, gear, and production management. Each extra day adds about $3,500–$6,000 depending on headcount.
Locations: Office shoots are usually the cheapest — often no permits. Streets and parks in SF, NYC, or LA can add $300–$2,000 in permit fees.
Post-production complexity: A straight interview edit is the lightest post line item. Motion graphics, heavy color, sound design, and 3D each add time and budget.
Deliverable volume: A hero film plus six social cuts costs more than the hero alone. We list deliverables in the quote so scope stays clear.
Animation type: 2D motion graphics < 2D character animation < 3D. Each step up roughly doubles time and cost.
How we quote
We start with a 30-minute intake call — free, no obligation. Goal, timeline, audience, and where the piece will run.
Within 48 hours you get a line-item estimate: crew, gear, locations, post, and deliverables listed separately.
Color, sound, and subtitles are in our standard quote — not tucked into revision rounds. We don't nickel-and-dime items other shops hide in fine print.
If scope shifts (say, a second location after sign-off), we send a change order before shooting — not an invoice after delivery.
