What does corporate video
production actually cost?

Pricing Factors
What drives the cost of a corporate video shoot
Every project is priced on six core variables. Understanding them helps you scope intelligently — and get a budget number that actually reflects your shoot.
Market
Crew day rates vary meaningfully between Las Vegas, Boston, San Diego, Austin, and Orlando. Convention week pricing in Las Vegas is different from off-peak. We quote based on where you're shooting, not a national average.
Crew Size
A two-person ENG crew (camera + audio) is your floor for a clean corporate interview. Convention coverage with multicam, TD, streaming tech, and graphics can put eight or more people on the floor. Each role has a market-specific day rate.
Shoot Days
Every additional shoot day multiplies crew and gear costs. Planning your shoot efficiently — combining interviews, b-roll, and content capture in one day when possible — is one of the most effective ways to manage budget.
Specialty Gear
Standard camera packages, lighting, and audio are base cost. Drone, teleprompter, jib, multicam switcher, streaming encoder, and on-site editing all add to gear line items. We build the gear package around what your shoot actually requires.
Project Type
A pharma patient testimonial with compliance documentation is scoped differently than a trade show highlight reel. Convention production with live switching has different requirements than an executive interview. Type shapes crew, gear, and day count.
Post Production
Editing, color, and delivery are separate from shoot day costs. If you need same-day turnaround with an on-site editor, that's part of the estimate. If you're delivering to your own editor, we quote shoot days only.
Our approach
Why we don't post a rate card
Most production companies either refuse to talk pricing at all — or post generic rates that have no bearing on your actual market or project scope.
Crew day rates vary by market. A gaffer in Boston commands a different rate than one in Austin. Convention week in Las Vegas is a different cost environment than a standard corporate shoot week. A pharma shoot with compliance documentation requires different scoping than a brand video.
Publishing flat rates would mean one of two things: we're either quoting you too high for simple work, or too low for complex work. Neither serves you.
What we do instead: describe your project in 60 seconds, get a market-specific budget range instantly, then refine it with a producer. No calls. No waiting two days.

Common questions
Pricing FAQ
Why don't you publish a rate sheet?
Because a camera operator in Las Vegas costs differently than one in Boston, and a pharma shoot with compliance requirements is scoped differently than a two-camera interview. Publishing flat rates would either underprice complex work or scare off straightforward projects. We quote based on your actual scope — and we do it fast.
Are there service fees or markups on top of the quoted rate?
No. What you're quoted is what you pay. We don't add agency fees, platform fees, or crew markups on top of the estimate. The rate we send you reflects actual crew day rates and gear packages for your market.
How quickly can I get a budget range?
Describe your project — takes about 60 seconds — and we'll send a budget range to your inbox immediately. A producer follows up same day to review the brief, refine the numbers, and confirm crew availability.
What affects the cost most?
Crew size and shoot days are the biggest drivers. A two-person crew for one day in your home market is your floor. Multi-day shoots with larger crews, specialty gear (livestream, drone, teleprompter), or markets that require travel all move the number up. The estimate breaks it out so you can see exactly where the budget is going.
What's included in a typical corporate video crew estimate?
Crew labor (camera operators, audio, gaffer, DP, PA), camera and equipment packages, and post production if applicable. Travel and mileage are quoted separately based on your final location and whether local crew is available.
Do rates vary by market?
Yes — significantly. Major markets like Boston and San Diego command different day rates than secondary markets. Convention week in Las Vegas moves rates differently than a non-show week. That's exactly why we quote per project rather than posting a rate card that won't reflect your actual shoot.
