Days on site
A half day and a full day aren’t far apart on paper. The difference is how much you get in the can, and that flows straight through to the edit.

The cost isn’t the camera. It’s how many days we’re on site, how many people we’re filming, how many finished video assets you need at the end, and how far we have to travel to get them.
Change any one of those and the number moves. So rather than make you ask, here is what the work actually costs.
The numbers
All prices + GST.
Eight hours on site, one photographer, one location. Edited images included, no separate editing charge.
Two hours on site, one Director of Photography. Interview grabs and b-roll cut to broadcast standards, supplied unbranded so a newsroom can run it.
One location, one or two people on camera, a two to three minute finished video asset plus social cuts.
A half to full day, one or two executives, one location. Autocue and delivery coaching included.
A half day with one Director of Photography and one person on camera at the start. A full day with a producer on set as the brief grows. Either way, a main video asset and a set of social cuts.
The problem, the fix and the results. Two to four interviews plus b-roll, usually across one or two sites.
Live action. A scripted 60 to 90 second piece that makes a complex product simple, with motion graphics over the top for the names and the numbers.
One shoot day, a hero video asset of 60 to 90 seconds, four social cutdowns, up to three people on camera.
Why people work there, in their own words. Staff interviews plus workplace b-roll, a hero video asset and cuts for careers pages and LinkedIn.
A single camera webinar through to multi-camera live switching with a technician, graphics and a recording for on-demand.
Half day through to multi-day. Could be an event sizzle, highlight reels, social cuts or vox pops, depending on what you need.
Several shoot days or several sites, a crew sized to the job, and a set of finished video assets from the one brief. Usually a campaign, a series or a national roll-out.
Prices reviewed and updated October 2026.
Bigger builds are quoted per job. If your budget is set, tell us the number. We’ll tell you honestly what it buys and what it won’t, before anyone books a day.
The detail
Six things, in the order they matter.
A half day and a full day aren’t far apart on paper. The difference is how much you get in the can, and that flows straight through to the edit.
Three interviews in one place is a different day to three interviews in three buildings.
Moving a crew is the quiet cost. Two sites in a day usually means less filmed at both.
A Director of Photography and a producer covers most corporate work. Panels, live events and anything going to broadcast need proper multi-channel sound, which is its own line.
One hero video asset and four social cuts is a different edit to one video asset. This is the part people underestimate.
A tight deadline is usually possible and it carries a premium. Tell us the date early and we’ll work to it.
Travel outside Sydney adds a travel day per crew member plus mileage. We’ll always show it as its own line, never buried.
Straight up
Most quotes hide this until the invoice. Here is what sits outside the price and when it applies.

If you’re getting three quotes
Two quotes for the same brief can be thousands apart and both be fair. Usually they’re not the same job. Five things to ask, whoever you end up using.
A four hour call and a ten hour call are both sold as a shoot day. Ask for the hours and the two quotes stop being comparable on price alone.
One operator, or a Director of Photography and a producer. It’s the biggest single difference between two quotes for the same brief.
One video asset, or a hero video asset and six cuts sized for your channels. The edit is where quotes quietly diverge.
Two is fair. One means you pay for the second, and that’s where a cheap quote catches up with you.
An estimate can move. Ask whether the figure you approve is the figure on the invoice. Ours is.
Good to know
A corporate video runs $3,000 to $12,000 + GST. A half day with one person on camera sits at the bottom, a full day with a Director of Photography and a producer further up. A multi-day shoot across several locations is a bigger project and runs $12,000 to $30,000. The table above breaks it down by the kind of video.
Usually because they’re not the same job. One quote might be a single operator for four hours with a quick edit. Another might be a Director of Photography and a producer for a full day with a hero video asset and six cutdowns. Ask what is on the day and how many finished video assets you get, and the quotes become comparable.
By the project. You get one number before we start, and it covers planning, the shoot, the edit and two rounds of changes. We would rather you knew the figure up front than watched a meter run.
Planning and the shot list, the crew and kit for the day, the edit, two rounds of changes, and social cutdowns sized for your channels. Travel outside Sydney, a dedicated sound engineer and drone are named lines when the job needs them.
Every figure on this page is + GST.
A tight deadline is usually possible and it carries a premium. Tell us the date as early as you can and we’ll build the day around it.
Yes, right across Australia. It adds a travel day per crew member plus mileage, and both appear as their own lines on the quote.
Crew, kit and locations all cost more here than in most of the country, and parking and access on a CBD shoot add time before a camera turns over. The gap is real but it’s smaller than people expect, and it disappears entirely if you’re filming several things on the one day.
Film more than one thing on the day. The crew, the setup and the travel are the same whether you come away with one video asset or four. Most of the value on a shoot day is in what else you capture while everything is already standing.
