The real numbers behind a half day shoot, a campaign and a monthly content retainer, and what moves the price up or down.
- A half day shoot with two crew is $4,500.
- Most corporate and campaign videos land between $8,000 and $25,000.
- A retainer gives you a month of content from planned shoot days.
Most people asking what a video costs really want to know two things: what they will get for their budget, and what will push the price up. Here are the numbers we quote against every week.
What a half day shoot buys
Two crew, up to four hours on site, and the gear to cover interviews, B-roll and a few photos. It suits a single location story: one interview, the space, the people at work. Edit, captions and the versions you need are quoted on top, because that is where the time really goes.
The shoot is rarely what drives the cost. It is how many versions you need at the end.
Campaign and corporate video
Most of our corporate and campaign work lands between $8,000 and $25,000. The spread comes from shoot days, locations, talent, motion graphics and how many cutdowns the campaign needs across Meta, YouTube and LinkedIn.
Monthly content retainers
A retainer books planned shoot days each month and turns them into a steady run of edits for your channels. You get a content calendar, one team that knows your brand, and a predictable monthly cost instead of a new quote every time.
What moves the price
- Number of shoot days and locations
- Talent, permits and travel
- Motion graphics and animation
- How many versions and aspect ratios you need
- Turnaround time
