What drives the cost of video production
The minimum project size tells you where an agency starts. The final quote depends on scope:
- Pre-production: concept, script, storyboard and casting.
- Shoot days, crew size, locations and equipment.
- Post-production: editing, motion graphics, colour, sound and versions for each channel.
- Talent fees and music or footage licences.
