Getting an Estimate for a Video

Asking "how much for a video" is like asking "how much to buy a house or a car." Videos can cost from $100 - $10,000 or even more.​


We often get perspective and current clients calling for a quote to have a video produced. Lots of factors go into preparing an estimate. To help save time, try to have answers to these common questions that we may ask:

​How long will the finished be?
How many hours will be needed to video tape everything?
How many locations are involved in the shoot?​
Who will be writing and/or producing the video (sometimes clients want to do this themselves or hire Focal Point)?​
How quickly do you need the finished video?​
How will you be showing or distributing the video (online, DVD, flash drive, etc)?​
Who is the audience?​
Do you require any special equipment (teleprompter, Glidecam, dolly, Glidetrack, backdrop, etc)?​
Do you need an titles, animations, or graphics?
