Rates are quoted on a per job or project basis, They vary from format, to type of production etc.  Jobs are bid using the standard AICP bid form or Motion Picture bid form.

We will bid for the best scenario, additional estimates will be created upon request and an agreement to compensate production company for the "scenario" bidding exercise.

So that we don't waste everyone's time, it is best that you have a budget in mind.   If you are simply trying to find out a ballpark of what things cost, we are happy to provide that to you in a phone conversation.  We can then point you to examples of work and tell you how much those cost to produce...back then.

Rates change like everything else these days.  We've done some projects complete with talent for as low as 10k, but typical simple "industrial"  range between 25 and 70K by they time they are done.

Everything from the script to the props, to the locations, to the number of actors, to the number of effects and the edit, and type of edit affect the cost.  For example, interviewing a couple of executives and putting graphics on a show is one thing, shooting at multiple locations, doing 3d graphics, using actors and actresses, building sets or using locations is entirely different.

If you are interested in doing a low budget production, please see our discount program division.
