Common questions

How much does freelance video production cost in Springfield, MO?
Short brand or social videos typically run $500 to $2,500 depending on complexity and length. Half-day and full-day production rates usually range from $500 to $1,500 per day. Event videography runs $100 to $300 per hour. More produced commercial work with scripting, crew, and multiple shoot days can range from $3,000 to $15,000 or more.
How long does it take to produce a video?
A simple social media video or testimonial clip can be delivered in 1 to 2 weeks. A brand story or commercial production with pre-production, a shoot day, and full editing typically takes 3 to 6 weeks. More complex productions can take longer depending on scope.
What is the difference between a freelance videographer and a production company?
A freelance videographer typically works alone or with a small crew and handles most aspects of production themselves. A production company has a larger team and more infrastructure. For most small to mid-sized business video projects, a skilled freelancer offers better value and a more direct working relationship.
What should I prepare before a video shoot?
Know the purpose of the video and who it is for. Have a rough idea of the message or story you want to tell. If there will be on-camera talent, prepare them in advance. The more organized you are before the shoot, the more efficient the day will be.
