Low Budget
$1,250 - $10,000
The low end of $1,250 is most common for one day of filming, gathering footage for a background video on your website, or hiring a “skeleton crew” or single camera operator for filming services without the need to edit. On the $10,000 end, think of a fully-fledged commercial with a crew, multiple days of filming, a sound mixer onset, and high-quality post-production with special effects.
Medium Budget
$10,000-$100,000
This is the budget often utilized for medium-sized businesses and corporations. This always involves larger crews and gives room for more creativity and production value. Generally, these budgets involve more filming days, time in post-production, and special effects. Name talent can be brought in for acting services.
High Budget
$100,000 - Up
High budget entails largers crews, topline special effects, sound stages, and limited creative or time restrictions. These are often national campaigns bringing in name talent, or feature-length projects over 60 minutes in length.
