How Our Pricing Works

There’s no flat rate for great video. Good video production isn’t cheap, and cheap video production usually isn’t good. Plus, pricing can vary based no Orange County. As a company providing  Orange County Video Production pricing depends on what you need, how complex the shoot is, and what you want to walk away with. We’ll break everything down clearly so you know exactly what you’re paying for and why.

We tailor every quote based on your project’s unique needs; no rigid packages, just video production pricing that fits your goals and budget.

Some of the key factors that influence pricing include:

  • Project Scope

  • Shoot Days

  • Crew Size

  • Equipment & Gear Level

  • Editing & Revisions

  • Add-ons (e.g., graphics, VO, versions)

Let's Break Down Your Project

Shoot Time

Up to a few hours.

Crew

Equipment

Post Production

$2,500 Budget

This budget level is best for teams that already have a creative direction in place and simply need experienced production support for a short shoot. We step in to capture footage efficiently and professionally, then hand off the raw files to your internal team or editor.

This option is intentionally limited in scope and works best when expectations, logistics, and deliverables are already clearly defined.

I’ve used 5 different content teams over 7 years and then I found Colin! If you want someone that can pull the genius out of your head and make it come to life in video content… he is THE MAN!!! When I use Chromatic Digital Cinema I never have to worry if they are getting the right angles or capturing the magic moments. They always deliver a product that blows my mind and my clients always ask if my guy does Hollywood Movies when he’s not with me. To be able to show up in your full mode of genius knowing that the content will be insane and better than you could ask for … allows you to be even more present for your audience and that’s worth every cent! Whether you’re running live events with tons of people in the same room… or speaking directly to the lens … connection to your audience is EVERYTHING. Colin and his team help create that and I can’t say enough great things about them. Feel free to hit me up if you have specific questions about using their services. I’ll make time to answer them direct. I love Colin and what’s he’s built … and you will too!
