Rates for Video & Audio Production, Voiceover Recording, & Communications Consulting
I am often asked, "How much does a 3-minute video cost?" The answer is: It depends.
Can we record everything that needs to be included in the video within a day at one location, or will it take a week to visit all of the locations? How much travel will be involved? What kind of graphics need to be created? I've created a 3-minute video that was completely planned, recorded, and edited in a couple of days for $2,000, and a 3-minute video that required a week of travel and several weeks of editing that cost well over $10,000. So the answer is: it depends.
