That is a question that I get asked often and it does not have a simple answer. A comparable question would be, "How much does a vehicle cost?" Well, the answer depends on a number of variables: Who is it for? How do you want it to look? How many people does it need to carry? Does it just need to get you from point A to point B, or does it need to drive over big rocks? Does it need to win in a race? In a similar way, the cost of a video will largely vary depending on its purpose. 

​

Although every project is different, every project still involves the same three stages: pre-production, production, and post-production. Each of these parts plays an important role in determining whether or not the video reaches its intended goals. For example, a lack of pre-production (planning) on the front end can lead to unwanted challenges in the production (shooting) stage. Or cutting corners in the shooting stage can lead to problems in the post-production (editing) stage. In other words, each stage impacts the other. 

​

So to determine the cost of a project, all three stages need to be carefully considered. For this reason, I usually like to get together over coffee or chat on the phone to discuss what you are looking for in as much detail as possible. Following that initial conversation, I can then think about the time and resources required to create your video and come up with a quote for the project.
