Days on site
A half day and a full day are not far apart on paper. The difference is how much you get in the can, and that flows straight through to the edit.
Trusted by
The cost is not the camera. It is how many days we are on site, how many people we are 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.
One location, one or two people on camera, a two to three minute finished video asset plus social cuts.
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.
A half to full day, one or two executives, one location. Autocue and delivery coaching included.
The standard build. One shoot day, a Director of Photography and a producer, 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.
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.
Half day through to multi-day. Could be an event sizzle, highlight reels, social cuts or vox pops, depending on what you need.
A single camera webinar through to multi-camera live switching with a technician, graphics and a recording for on-demand.

The detail
Six things, in the order they matter.
A half day and a full day are not 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 will work to it.
Travel outside Sydney adds a travel day per crew member plus mileage. We will 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 are getting three quotes
Two quotes for the same brief can be thousands apart and both be fair. Usually they are 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 is 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 is 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
Most land between $2,500 and $20,000 + GST. A half day with one person on camera sits at the bottom. A multi-day shoot across several locations sits at the top. The table above breaks it down by the kind of video.
Usually because they are 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 will 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 is smaller than people expect, and it disappears entirely if you are 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.
