Pricing Explainer

We Don't Sell Packages.
We Explain What Drives Your Video Cost.

Every video project is different. Instead of forcing your vision into a pre-built tier, we walk you through the real factors that shape your investment — then build a quote that fits exactly what you need.

The Six Cost Drivers

What Actually Determines Your Video Investment

1. Shoot Duration

A half-day corporate interview and a three-day multi-location brand film require fundamentally different crew commitments, equipment reserves, and scheduling logistics. Duration is the single largest variable.

2. Creative Complexity

Scripted narrative with actors, set design, and wardrobe costs more than a documentary-style capture. We help you decide which creative approach achieves your goal without overspending.

3. Post-Production Depth

Basic assembly with colour correction differs vastly from motion graphics, 3D titles, compositing, and multi-revision cycles. We scope post-production to your actual deliverables.

4. Deliverable Count

One hero video for your website? Or twenty social cuts, vertical reformats, and subtitled versions? Each additional deliverable adds editing and export time.

5. Talent & Licensing

On-screen talent, voice-over artists, licensed music, stock footage — these carry real costs that vary widely. We source options at every budget level.

6. Timeline Pressure

Rush turnarounds compress schedules and may require additional crew or overtime. Planning ahead is the simplest way to keep costs down.

Pricing Matrix

How These Factors Combine

The table below shows how each cost driver scales. This isn't a price list — it's a transparency tool. Your actual quote is built from the intersection of your specific needs.

Cost Driver Lighter Scope Mid Scope Fuller Scope Impact on Budget
Shoot Duration Half-day (4hrs) Full day (8–10hrs) Multi-day (2–5 days) High
Creative Complexity Interview / talking head Scripted with B-roll Full narrative with cast High
Post-Production Cut + colour grade Graphics + sound design VFX + compositing + animation Medium–High
Deliverable Count 1–2 final outputs 3–6 outputs + reformats 10+ outputs across platforms Medium
Talent & Licensing Internal team on camera 1 professional presenter Cast + VO + licensed music Medium
Timeline 4–6 weeks 2–3 weeks Under 10 days Variable

"We used this matrix during our initial call and it saved us from over-specifying things we didn't need." — D. Maguire, Marketing Director, Limerick

Production-First Thinking

We plan every shoot around your final deliverables. No wasted setups, no unnecessary crew, no gear you're paying for but don't need.

How We Work

Your Quote Is Built in Conversation, Not from a Menu

We start with a 20-minute discovery call where we map your goals, audience, distribution channels, and timeline. From there, we identify which cost drivers matter for your project and which can be simplified.

You receive an itemised estimate within 48 hours — not a package price with hidden add-ons, but a transparent breakdown showing exactly where your budget goes.

"The line-item breakdown meant I could justify every euro to my board. That never happened with our previous agency." — R. Keane, CFO, Dublin-based SaaS company

Editorial Note

Why We Stopped Offering Packages

For three years, we offered Bronze, Silver, and Gold packages. They were easy to sell but terrible for clients. People either overpaid for features they didn't use or squeezed their vision into a box that didn't fit.

In 2023, we moved to fully transparent, factor-based pricing. The result: our average project satisfaction score went from 7.8 to 9.3 out of 10, and repeat engagement increased by more than a third.

Packages optimise for the seller. Transparent pricing optimises for the project. That's the difference.

"I've worked with six video agencies. This is the first one that showed me exactly what I was paying for and why. The final product was better because the brief was honest from the start."
— A. Brennan, Head of Brand, Cork

Common Pricing Questions — Answered Directly

Can you give me a rough price range before the discovery call?

Most of our projects fall between €1,800 and €18,000. That's a wide range because video production is genuinely variable. A single testimonial capture with basic editing sits at the lower end; a multi-day brand film with animation and licensed music sits at the upper end. The discovery call narrows this to a tight estimate within minutes.

Do you charge per video or per project?

Per project. If we shoot once and produce five deliverables, you're not paying five separate fees. You pay for the shoot time, the creative work, and the post-production hours — all itemised so you see the real cost structure.

What if my budget is fixed?

We reverse-engineer the scope to fit your budget. If you have €4,000, we'll tell you exactly what's achievable at that level — which cost drivers to prioritise and which to scale back. No upselling, no bait-and-switch.

Are revisions included or billed separately?

Every quote includes two rounds of revisions on each deliverable. Additional rounds are billed at an hourly rate that's stated upfront in your estimate. Most projects complete within the included rounds.

Do you travel outside the Schambergerberg area?

Yes. We work across Ireland and occasionally internationally. Travel and accommodation are itemised separately in your quote so there are no surprises. For remote interviews, we also offer directed-remote capture kits shipped to your location.
