How to Price Video Production Cost

Hi, I’m Donna Davis President of the Atlanta Internet Video Marketing Association. I find that a lot of clients who call and want to know about video production. One of the things I really want to know about is pricing. And pricing in video production can be confusing, generally its done in one of two ways either of per hour fee payment. The time of the video production companies spend on shooting, editing is edit, is all added together. For instance if that they spent five hours out shooting your project that a $100 hour that’s $500. And then they might spend another five hours your project that a $100 an hour so your looking in a $1000 for your over all project.
Then you might also if you want something very complex, a lot of graphics, say music those kind of things that can really make a short but powerful video you may want it consider a per finish minute charge. Which, really means if you have a two-minute video and the company charges per minute a $1000 per finish minute that’s going to cost to $2000. The advantages of the per minute fee are really that you know exactly what you're going to pay the video production company may actually spend more of time on that project.
So, it costs you lots like for instance if they spent 24 hours on your project but they promise to do it for $1000 of finish minute is still going to be $2000 no matter how much time that they spend on it. If you were priced by the time that they spend on it, you may not know exactly what the costs is going to be. So it may help you in your budget. I hope this is been helpful if you need more information I am available for free consultation at 678-290-8953.
