As we start working together, we will establish a tighter way to price out items we are attempting to create. For now, here’s some sample budgets with some various videos. As you mention ideas or we add to the list of potential ideas, I’ll keep track of them here.

The cost breakdown for my projects are typically 50% production and 50% editing. For example, if a project cost $10,000, about $5,000 of it would be for the production/planning days and $5,000 left for the editing. As a general rule of thumb, and I don’t really share this with anyone but you’re special, a production day is approximately $5,000 per day and an edit day is roughly $1,000 a day.

Story Film

This project would include lots of communication and pre production before filming, logistically laying out the filming locations / times with the various interviews, travel, two production days to capture interviews and b roll, then editing. These would be the heavy hitting videos that capture the spirit of the folks involved and display various attributes we are attempting to highlight in each video. A video like this would have pro production / communicating all the big picture ideas of the video, generally about 2 days of production, and 7-12 days of editing. Travel would also be factored in as part of the total. So, if we shot a 2 day shoot in Texas, total cost for the 5-7 minute story video would end up being $20,000-$25,000.

We also could collect footage / photos / etc… to make a few dozen social media posts relating to the atmosphere of that story video.

Informational Videos

Sometimes material just needs to be presented and not captured. This sort of video could help explain something you are attempting to get the masses to understand, logistical walkthroughs of any idea, company explanation, etc. These stick to around 2 minutes and rely on animation, sound, and supporting video / photo to bring it to life. This type of video would cost approximately $4,000 per minute…so a two. minute video would be $8,000 and a 30 second video like this would be $2,000.

With all of the above written out, that’s going off of an unknown budget. I can certainly work quicker and film faster for a cheaper rate. The above prices reflect the best I have to offer and cam comfortably work around those numbers and adjust as needed. This was also just the big picture stuff too. I’m available to assist in any social media marketing, posting, maintenance, and customer support via social world.
