Let's demystify the process of video production. We estimate this example to cost around £2-3k because we logged roughly:

1 day of production management which is low as we just covered an activity that was organised by our client. As a ballpark we estimate 1/2 day management per day of shoot and edit. This could be higher for complex projects or lower if you can help with the creative or coordination. This includes scheduling, edit supervision and producing documentation such as risk assessments.

Shot remotely by the participants using their own phones or webcams with professional microphones and guidance provided by us. This is a technique we adopted during the COVID lockdown but still use as it's a cost effective way to include large groups of interviewees, vulnerable participants or people who are not in a convenient location to film. We edit clips provided by the participants with stock video and branded animation / graphic design.

4 days of post production time. Generally the length of post production depends on the volume of footage, number of deliverable versions (eg social cuts) and rounds of revisions budgeted. This was not consecutive days as we leave gaps for client feedback.
