FAQ
There are a lot of questions that a client typically asks, particularly clients who have never had a commercial or a video produced. This page will endeavor to cover some of those questions in detail, but if you have a question of your own that doesn’t appear here, feel free to get in touch.
How Much Does It Cost To Make A Commercial?
When it comes to video and film production, this is probably the most common question asked by clients. The bad news is that there isn’t a stock answer. The good news is that there are many ways to work within a whole range of budgets… from Super Bowl scale (we love those), to the very conservative level (we love those, too… some very creative ideas have come about, due to smaller budgets). If you’ve done a little homework upfront, and know what you want to say or sell, who you’re trying to reach, how you want to be perceived, and how much you’re willing to invest to make it all happen, you’ll be ready to speak with a producer. With the information you provide, your producer will be able to work with you to design a commercial that can achieve your goals, while staying within your budget.
Are You A Videographer Or A Cinematographer?
With cameras attached to nearly every tangible item on earth, these days, aren’t we all videographers? However, I am not a professional videographer or cinematographer, by trade. This is not to say that I can’t compse a shot, or work with a cinematographer to get the shots I want. I can, and it is one of my strengths as a director, and to some extent, as a writer, as well. I’m also not a 3D animator (For some reason, too many people seem to interchange the terms designer and animator. They couldn’t more different than night and day ), nor am I an audio engineer, or a technician. Again, I do regularly put a team of those people together, and direct them to create and facilitate the needs of any project I create.
