I need a video. How much does it cost?
This is the most common customer question. And it’s really hard to answer. Because the cost of the video depends on many factors.
Imagine you need to build a house. You call the architect and say:
– Good afternoon. Tell me, how much does it cost to build a house?
The architect, without hesitation, answers:
– 5 350 562 UAH 39 cents. Plus-minus 1 million.
Hmm … Is that really the answer you were waiting for?
Of course not. The architect will not be able to answer you until he receives a little more information. What kind of building? What is its purpose? How many floors? What is the total square footage of the premise? Where will the house be built and for whom? What material? In what style? What is the deadline of finishing the facilities? What kind of communications are nearby, etc.
Video prices work in the same way.
What is the duration of the video? How many scenes will be in it, how many stories? Will the actors be involved? In what style do you want to make a video: video shooting, animation, motion design or 3D graphics. Or, maybe, it will be a combined video? What shooting equipment will you need? Where actually the video should be filmed?

Important tips for calculating video costs:
1. If you already have a set budget for the video creation, let the managers know. You will save time, considering proposals that do not include the spending limit.
2. If the project involves a business trip, specify locations of the shooting. Sometimes a business trip equals the half price of the entire video. Spendings for fuel, transport, per diems and accommodation should be taken into account at the very beginning to get the most accurate, detailed estimate.
3. If your project has a set deadline and after that date you no longer need the video, tell the us in the first place. An accelerated work may involve a larger team and, therefore, budget increase. However, you will receive a quality video on time and it will complete the expected tasks.
