The cost of a professional video production is directly related to the time it takes to produce. Each production has it's own set of production values, locations, lighting requirements, actors/models, etc. If you are new to the world of producing professional videos there is an often used "rule of thumb" for estimating what a professional video might cost. Figure $1000.00 per one minute of finished video. THIS IS ONLY A BEST GUESS ESTIMATE!! Your five minute video may come way under $5000.00 if it involves simple production techniques or it may be 5 or 6 times more if the video involves animation, world class graphics and accomplished actors. We offer a FREE consultation session to discuss your ideas and will then offer you a cost estimate. Once the budget is established the details will be outlined in a letter of agreement and the price will not change unless you make additons to our agreement during the production.
