Question 3

How much does video production cost?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the scope of the project. There are just too many questions and variables for a one-size-fits-all approach to production. Do we need a 3-person crew or a 30-person crew? Are we shooting on-location at a local business, or on-location in the desert?

We believe in producing videos that are as effective as they are budget-conscious, and designed for specific objectives.  To provide an accurate quote, a brief introductory call is usually best. This 8-10 min intro will help us determine if there's a good fit. Schedule a free intro call here.

How long does production usually take start to finish?

Accepted Answer

It depends heavily on the scope and size of the project. A simple interview with a company owner for social media is much less complex to produce than a 30-second superbowl spot. Your dedicated producer can advise on the specific production time-line for your project - but as an overall average it’s 3-6 weeks for production start to finish for smaller projects and 8-12 weeks for larger projects.

Does Intrigue Studios require a creative brief or RFP (Request for Proposal) in order to get started?

Our producers will make sure we gather all of the necessary information in order to put together a production quote, whether or not it is provided up front. That being said, we do recommend providing some kind of simple brief or RFP if possible, as it will streamline the process up front and enable us to determine if we are a good fit much more quickly.

Question 14

Is there a minimum budget required for production with Intrigue Studios?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the type of production. A corporate, interview-style video requires much less equipment, crew and time to produce than a narrative TV commercial.

And sometimes the footage has already been shot and we are hired to handle post-production and editing only. That being said, the minimum budget to work with Intrigue Studios is around $5k, but we do sometimes make exceptions for smaller projects.
