FAQs
Finding the right video production company for your project is not easy. This guide breaks down what video production costs and how to keep your next project affordable.
How much does video production cost?
Every project is unique. Because each video requires its own custom strategy and budget, there is no single magic price number.
How much are our filming rates?
Our standard filming rates are $800 + GST for a full day and $500 + GST for a half-day. Our video editing rate is $75 + GST per hour.
What elements determine a video production budget?
We calculate your budget based on the video's core purpose, final length, number of locations, hours on-site, crew size, and editing complexity (such as custom animations).
Do you need video animation?
Animations are powerful marketing tools that simplify complex information. Whether you need them depends entirely on your video's goals and target audience.
What does the video production process involve?
Pre-Production
Planning, scripting, and booking talent, crew, and locations to ensure a smooth shoot.
Production
We capture every essential shot efficiently during this timeframe.
Post-Production
Editing, sound design, and color grading to achieve your desired look and feel.
How many crew member does my video project need?
It varies. We frequently shoot projects with a single camera operator with excellent results. For multi-camera setups, drone filming, professional photography, or dedicated audio tracking, our crew scales up to three or four specialists.
Do we need subtitles in our videos?
Yes. Subtitles boost your SEO ranking and stop scrolling viewers from missing your message, as most people watch online videos without sound.
What gear do you use?
We shoot using Netflix-approved 4K cinema cameras. For audio, we utilize journalist-style microphones, wireless lapels, and professional condenser mics to ensure your audio sounds pristine.
How do I get my files?
We deliver via flash drives, SSDs, or secure digital download. We also back up your final videos across two separate storage systems, so your files are always safe if you lose them.
What are your payment terms?
We require a 50% deposit to secure your filming dates, with the remaining 50% due upon delivery of the final files. For New Zealand clients, we accept online bank transfers and cryptocurrency. For international clients, we accept PayPal and Bitcoin.
