Production Pricing

The cost of video production is highly variable, and depends on many factors such as crew size, quality expectations, runtime, turnaround, content, etc. While its difficult to give hard numbers without a consultation, we hope the ranges below will help you get a ballpark understanding of what budgets look like for a few levels of production. Again, these are broad, but if your project has one or more of the needs in a category, it probably will somewhere fall in that range.
