As I have grown my business over the last 10 years, I discovered a love for helping folks communicate big ideas. I’ve worked full time in churches for the last 8 years focusing on telling the story of our people, our beliefs, and helping ideas get absorbed. During that same time, I have also run my company, Dwalt Media, freelancing for national companies, large local organizations, and national television level productions. These various roles have built a proficiency with a wide range of projects, from running a crew on a one-day, commercial shoot to telling a deep and winding story involving dozens of people. It’s been very gratifying that so many companies and organizations have loved my work and the process we took to find the right way to communicate their story.
While I am comfortable doing the work at any part of the video-creation process, the skill I’m most proud of is my ability to sit with people and encourage them to open up about their thoughts. After almost every single interview, the interviewee is blown away at the ease of the process and shocked (in a good way) how I was able to connect with them to help unearth what they really wanted to say.
The following videos were all filmed and edited by Dwalt Media. The prices attached are what I would estimate the total cost for Dwalt Media to to create that video today.
A two-minute profile piece could cost about $4,000.
A three-minute story piece could cost $6,000
A five-minute story piece could cost $12,000 and up.
Many of my story-based videos end up being in the 5–8-minute range and tend to cost around $14,000. We generally can film in two days and I designate about a week to editing.
Below are various films, TV commercials, and other video segments to display the types of projects we create as well as an approximate cost to create in 2022 by Dwalt Media.
