Video & DVD Production Prices

PRICES - (All prices plus vat) Video programmes vary widely so we don't simply use the 'cost per programme minute' formula, as costs are only very loosely influenced by programme duration. Simple programmes can be extended with very little effort, whereas more elaborate programmes do involve significantly more work.

We divide productions into three categories, Budget, Standard and Enhanced. All include one day of filming.

BUDGET Programmes

These programmes are suitable for simple demonstrations or interview situations used for general communications, training etc. Often they consist of interviews, or presentations spoken by the client. If a voiceover is required, the script and narrator will be supplied by the client and recorded on the day of filming. Editing includes simple transitions with titles and stock music if required. A five minute programme costs £1,950, with additional minutes priced at just £100 per minute.

Marie Curie Cancer Care found that our Budget service enabled them to show how much their services were appreciated by the public. Interviews with staff, patients and careers convincingly demonstrate to funding bodies, the benefits of their new rapid response team, at minimum cost to the charity.
