How much does a brand film cost?

You have the power to choose the cost of your brand film. That’s the good news.

The cost of the film does not impact the ‘quality’ of the film, but the price bracket of the film gives it different ‘qualities’ – that’s the simplest way of describing it.

We produced a blog about this which you can peruse for more detailed information. If youre looking for a quote, it’s likely you were directed here to have a read. Customers choose us because they like our work and they want us to make a brand film which is beautifully lit and contains content with strong emotional impact. In return, we like our customers and want to work with them. We generally get chosen because our customers are looking for an agile team who can go anywhere, film anything and be flexible. They also choose us because we’ve got significant skills in interviewing. Interviews are where your brand story is told, not necessarily by what is said, but by how it is said. Showing, not telling.

The cost of a brand film is a moveable feast – the good news is that you can probably afford it

If you have done your research, you will know that the median cost of a brand film is around £4000, but that’s a vague cost and does not reflect what you may want. What you are paying for when you commission us to make a brand film is the time it takes to pre-produce, produce and then post produce your idea. These are the basic tenets of creating any brand film, but they vary between projects.

We produce brand films and corporate videos for Plc’s and small businesses and the cost of the work isn’t based on the ‘value’ of your business, but in the value we put into the 3 stages of production as above. In most cases in the work we get asked to do, the company themselves have already done most of the ‘pre production’; they know who they want to film, they know where and they know what the want to say.

They generally break down into 4 categories of cost:

Brand Films for up to £1200

Simple films with minimal moving between locations and have minimal post production, where client uses internal resources to create graphics and write a script– like this:

Brand Films between £1500 - £3000

Films that take a couple of people to create because of the kit and amount of work in the shoot – Films that might take a couple of days to shoot in a couple of locations with a little extra demand in editing – here is an example of a project where the client wanted us to use some templated graphics, and film multiple people to output multiple interviews:

Brand Films £3000 - £5000

Still quite simple films, but the duration of the shoot is a little longer. The client provided all the graphics and we just had to drive around the country to speak to their contributors. This is one example that might fit that particular bracket:

Brand films £5000 and Upwards

Generally TV or multi day shoots with multi day edits – Films where we needed to buy in stock footage, commission info graphics and animation and move between locations over multiple days. Films like this:

We can and have been making films in these price brackets for 8 years now.
