How much does video production cost?

This is a bit of a loaded question! Many factors are taken into consideration when pricing our video shoots, such as the subject of the commercial, the desired use and length of the commercial, how much time should be allocated to complete the shoot, how small or large of a crew we might need to get the job done, and so on and so forth! Typically, we like to discuss your project with you to develop a scope of work, then present you with an accurate quote based on your needs! That said, we will always try our best to accommodate budgets of all sizes while still delivering a high quality product that you can be proud of! Don’t hesitate to inquire today for a better understanding of our offerings!

what is your process?

Once we have spoken with you about your project, we will delve into pre-production. This is when we will develop your commercial’s script, discuss when and where to film your video, then gather our equipment and crew! Once these steps are taken care of, we move into the principal production phase (i.e. the part where we shoot your commercial)! On the predetermined date, our crew will arrive at your business or location, set up our equipment, and get to work! Our shoots typically last no more than a day, occasionally two, and then we are out of your hair and headed back to our desks to begin the post-production process (editing). This is where the movie magic really happens! The post-production process is a tedious one that is typically the most time-consuming piece of the puzzle. It is here that we comb through our previously captured footage and audio recordings and begin to build your commercial, color-grading the footage to make it look just right, mastering the audio to ensure we don’t have any background sounds that we don’t want to hear, sourcing and licensing music to give it additional flare, and then rendering the final product to ensure that it is neatly packaged and ready to be put to work for your business!

What is your primary area of service?

North Deck Productions is based in the heart of Athens, Georgia, but we serve the entire state of Georgia and much of the South East. We aren’t scared to travel for a shoot, but most of our clients are based in or around the Athens and Atlanta markets.

How long should videos be?

This is another one of those questions with many different answers. The primary factor that determines your commercial’s length will be the intended platform for distribution. For example, if the video is to be used as a paid advertisement on Google or via a social media platform like YouTube or Instagram, we recommend aiming for the 30 second to 1 minute mark; however, if it is going to be used on your website or YouTube channel as a way of informing customers of your products or services, 1 minute to 3 or even 5 minutes is acceptable.
