How much does a video cost?
What if someone asked "How
much does a house cost?" You might say
"it depends on a lot of factors. I need
a little more information. Do you have
any blue prints for your dream home? Did
the bank tell you how much house can you
afford?" These questions are analogous
to the process in budgeting for a custom
video production.
A lot of
variables must be identified and
analyzed before a fair and proper video
production budget can be created. See
below for a typical list of variables.
Although we budget a video by line
items, we can say estimate that a
typical video can cost between $1500
to $5000 per finished minute,
depending on those same line item costs.
Video productions can be expensive,
so you have to view them as long term
investments. Contracting for a $20,000
video with a shelf life of five years
means you are budgeting $4000 a year for
five years. Now you can see a return on
your investment. An effective training
DVD can save your company thousands of
dollars a year in travel costs alone. In
the meantime you have an effective
training tool that has a carefully
thought-out, clear, concise and
consistent message.

How long does it take
to make a video?
You can count on
several months timeline from first
meeting to completed master. Just like
building a custom home, some projects
can take shorter or longer. The client
can minimize the process time by
limiting the number of company people
involved in the approval process, making
sure there is a professional subject
matter expert (SME) at each shooting
location and budgeting enough
pre-production planning time to
adequately prepare for the project. |
