Budgeting and quoting video productions
Notes from a working producer on costing jobs, pricing crew and kit, production fees and markups, and the documents clients actually see.
- Production Fee in a Video Budget: Percentage and Base How I set the production fee percentage in a video budget, which lines it applies to, which it skips, and the arithmetic on a two-day shoot that adds up.
- Corporate video cost: what 1, 2 and 3 minutes really change A 3 minute corporate video costs about 10% more than a 1 minute one, not three times as much. A worked budget shows where the money really goes.
- Video Production Budget Template: Every Line Item Explained Every line in a video production budget template, from prep days to usage and contingency, plus a two-day shoot costed out line by line in euros.
- How to Write a Video Production Quote Clients Approve The structure I use for every video production quote: scope, phased costs, assumptions and terms, plus a worked two-day example that adds up to €20,580.
