Prospective clients often ask, “How much will it cost to make a video?” It’s a good question and every producer wishes there were a simple answer.  But the truth is, this question is a lot like asking an architect, “How much does it cost to build a house?”

An architect’s answer would probably be:  It depends.  Do you want a 50-room mansion on a remote island?  Or a prefab cookie-cutter at the lowest possible price?  More likely something in between – but what, exactly? It would be great if there were a simple formula stating X minutes of video = Y dollars.  But video production, just like home construction, involves far too many variables for that.  And we need a lot more information before we can give you a meaningful estimate.Here are some factors we need to consider:

  • Do you already have a concept, or are we developing one for you?
  • If your concept is more expensive to produce than you thought, are you open to a different concept that achieves your goals within your budget?
  • What exactly needs to be shot and where?  
  • How large a crew?
  • How many days of shooting will be required?
  • Where are we shooting the video?  Are there location expenses?
  • Do we need to hire actors or models or voice-over talent?  Or are we using your own people?  (There are pros and cons to each.)
  • How complex is the editing?
  • Will there be sophisticated graphics or special effects?
  • Will we need an original music score, or stock music, or no music at all?
  • How long will the finished video be?  (Helpful hint: Shorter is better)

The fact is, there are literally hundreds of factors that affect the cost of video production.  And you can’t simply choose a company based on price, because a lower price – while attractive in this economy – will rarely yield the best result.The bottom line?  Let us know YOUR bottom line – or at least give us a range

FEE SCHEDULE (what we charge)


tmack productions can offer you the best possible video production for the best price.  That's a fact.  The reason is that's the way we operate.  We do not have high over head and fancy studios or fancy anythings for that matter.  We do keep our equipment in top notch condition and up-to-date.

So what does that mean for your rates?  That means that we charge what the project costs.  Simple.  Since there are many different needs for individual projects, our projects are pretty much all quote based.  We determine your wants, expectations and needs and develop a custom quote for your project.  One other advantage of this pricing structure is that we can customize a project to your budget.  So no project is ever too small or too big!
