VIDEO production
↦Real Estate properties
This type of video project can be streamlined for standard (usually residential properties) home tour scenarios. That allows a low price offered as a package.
Up to 3 minute videos delivered as HD 1080p YouTube optimized video (with or without Interview / voice overlay) .
I offer 2 levels of sophistication: a straight-forward walk-through style in a linear fashion OR a more artistic, creative approach that incorporates the linear walk-through format and adds the emotional, high-end feeling style. It’s your choice what you think your clientele is requiring. For multi-million properties the choice is quite clear. Let’s talk and get the project planned.
Pricing is depending on factors like property type, size, interview: yes/no, your requirements, and others. More on Real Estate photography and video on my page Real Estate Photography and Video which explains package pricing and bundling. Video as an add-on to a qualifying photo shoot can benefit from discounts.
↦Architectural video
This type of video project can be quite diverse and I need the project details for a custom quote.
I calculate this type of project as a Custom Video Project, see following.
↦Custom Video production work
— commercial, company presentations, crowdfunding, video applications, et cetera
A video production projects involves multiple pahses:
Send me your project info and I will provide you with a free estimate reflecting the tasks, duration, and pricing.
Generally speaking, the overall costs for a project are stemming from:
- PRE-PRODUCTION (==planning, meetings, scouting, talents, etc. [optional])
- Creative Fee (== production: actual photography / video):
- DP / photographer
- Assistant / PRODUCTION
- half-day, full day rates or longer available; hourly rates in some cases possible;
- POST-PRODUCTION (==editing: retouching, composites, advanced techniques)
- PRODUCTION CHARGES and EXPENSES
- [optional items, whatever is applicable for a project]:
e.g.: crew, location, studio, props and equip rental, styling, wardrobe, set construction, talent, casting, catering/meals/craft, travel, transportation, certain insurance, permits, shipping/delivery, et cetera.
- [optional items, whatever is applicable for a project]:
- USAGE / LICENSING: depending on project / client needs
- MISC FEES / CHARGES: e.g. NDA’s, night-time work, et cetera.
+++
Note: POST-PRODUCTION time depends strongly on the amount / type of material that was shot during the on-location time and the number / style of photos you’d like as an outcome. Depending on the project, certain standard editing can be included in the Creative Fee to make quotes / estimates leaner and simpler. Advanced editing is usually time consuming and can be itemized if the project scope justifies that.
Note: USAGE / LICENSING fees: depends very much on the nature of the project; my estimate will give you a clear idea about the scope and pricing of the license. If you do not specify your requirements / usage scenario at the time of requesting the quote, I will, by default, quote a Standard Basic License which I believe fits your situation and we can go from there.
Please let me know upfront if you have cost-sharing or exclusive rights in mind.
Note: Production Charges: all projects have costs involved and some are certainly understood as part of doing business as a photographer, however, some of the involved costs are charged extra, see examples above.
+++
Industry ballpark numbers are: $5oo to $15oo+ / per minute of video, depending on complexity, length of video, goals, number of locations / shoots, and pre-production (script / concept) work involved.
A budget of $15oo to $25oo would be a good start.

–Type of video: interview style, crowd-funding style, documentary, event, product demo, explanation video, promo video for a Business, promo video Otherwise, Training, OTHER ? [tell me what]
–What do you need: filming, editing, storyboard, OTHER
–Which displays will it be produced for: social media, websites, mobile, TV broadcasting, OTHER
–Budget: Note that you can create a video for $500 or $5k budget and it has to be done simpler when in the low range budgets and it will get more sophisticated in the higher budgets. Like with cars: you won’t get a new Porsche for the price of a new Ford Fiesta, however, the Fiesta might be a good fit for your needs.
– Desired Turn-around time-frame, may be deadlines: within… 1 week, 2 weeks, 3-4 weeks, 1-2 months, 3-4 months
– Style ideas (samples if applicable or shall I make suggestions)

↦Documentaries
To create all source material can span from days to weeks to months.
Costs can be calculated in many different ways: per minute resulting video, or fixed price on per-assignment base, or other detailed or mixed calculations. Depends on the project and the scope.
EDITING VIDEO (post production as a stand-alone service, no filming)
POST-PRODUCTION (editing):
Editing time is determined by multiple factors, but mainly by the length of source video, # of takes, multi-cam syncs, complexity of audio, and #of cuts.
Service:
- composing videos for given time frames and according to storyboards
- editing, cutting, enhancing
- adding audio/music, voice-over narration or overlay text titles
- Cost range: small projects, reasonable amount of source material and cuts, ca. $150-$300 / per minute of finished video.
Costs are higher if e.g. certain conditions exist: multiple hrs of source, multiple takes per scene, many cuts/min, et cetera. - Advanced editing, animation, effects (requiring Adobe AfterEffects) might add to the overall costs
- Actual costs: can only be estimated after I have reviewed your source material, task list and/or concept / storyboard. There’s also a chance I have to decline if material, concept, and goals are not in-sync. For an estimate I need all material and your concept / goals in writing.
EDITING existing Video (corrections, retouching)
- e.g. color corrections, obstructing license plates or faces, cutting out unwanted scenes, etc.
- adding audio/music, voice-over or overlay text titles
- Costs calculated on hourly basis.
- Actual costs: can only be estimated after I have reviewed your source material and task list. For an estimate I need all material and your task list in writing.
