Production Rates

 

We offer competive and fair rates.

We can create a project and plan the production based on your budget.

For example, if your new product is Vaspatcho, (the new super wonder cure for a hangover) - and you can afford $4,500,000 for a commercial - we'll send a full crew with 5 cameras, lighting truck with techs, grips and gaffers, Cinetrac dolly, a helicopter, William Shatner cameo, truck load of bikini bimbos with fuzzy puppies, hair stylist, make-up artist, wardrobe, demolitions expert, fleet of cars to crash and a stunt double. Your commercial will win the Superbowl.

If you can afford $4,500, we'll send a 3 camera crew, Arri light kit, audio engineer, make-up artist, Cinetrac Dolly, remote controlled helicopter, box of kittens, 20 feather pillows, a hi-speed fan and we'll throw in an Ozzy Osbourne cameo. Your commercial will win Youtube for the week.

If you can afford $450, we'll send one cameraman, a few well-placed lights, wireless mic kit, pocket dolly, one kitten, 2 feather pillows and a Pauly Shore cameo. You will have an effective commercial that informs and entertains your potential clients...

So, in other words, we can handle productions at nearly any budget level, just understand that the more you can afford, the more you will get in terms of "production value".

Now money isn't the "gold standard" when it comes to creating great content though. Some amazing things can be done with genius-level creativity and shoe-string budgets. Money does however get you more camera operators, audio engineers, lighting techs and effects artists to capture it. Conceiving your project based on your production crew can yield some powerful works, if done imaginatively.

One takes time, the other takes money. Invest whatever you have to get the best product.
