Video Made Simple - Full Service Video Production Made Easy and Affordable

How much?


I need something videotaped.

We offer an extremely competitive rate of just $100 per hour for a full standard definition camera, lighting and wireless audio package with a 4 hour minimum. Add $500 for projects which involve more than one person with on-camera audio simultaneously.

How about editing?

Online post production services include audio sweetening, custom music bed production and all the production value you need to make your project stand out. Again, the cost is $100/hour, with a 1 hour minimum for projects carried out at our studios, and a 4 hour minimum for on-location editing.

How much does a commercial cost?

A simple enough question, but the answer can be complicated. You wouldn't walk into a car showroom and ask, "How much does a car cost?" Well, you might, but you aren't going to get an answer until you provide some more details. Do you want top of the line? Leather seats? Are you just looking for something dependable and affordable? Answer those questions and you're more likely to get an answer.

No, really. How much is it going to cost me?

Okay. You need a price range to help you make the decision to go forward with creating your commercial. We understand. That's why we created our :30 Commercial Package. Its a great way to get a complete commercial advertising production with a set budget.

Its the whole enchilada for one low price. We'll work together to write a script based on your needs.

Thanks to our experience and the latest technology, you'll get a commercial that looks like you spent a bundle. We're experts at making you look great without breaking the bank.

What about corporate videos?

It's considerably harder to put together a package price for corporate video work, but a good ballpark figure is about $300 to $1000 per finished minute, depending on how much shooting is involved and how complex the edit is.

What about talent, high definition, film, cranes, 3d animation, jingles, etc...

Now you're talking...talking about what we refer to as additional costs. That's a nice way of saying it's going to cost a bit more. Any products or services not provided directly by Video Made Simple are billable at market rates. That includes on-camera talent, equipment rental and freelance labor. We always provide you with a written estimate for additional costs before production starts, so there will never be any surprises. As always, we'll do our best to ensure that you get the best value for your money.
