Special deals on January and February shoots - Call Dan for details on 07973543609

Before we can arrive at any kind of costing we need to know what your requirements are and what kind of look you're after. We also need an idea of the budget you have to work to, (there's no point us hiring a helicopter if you're on a £500 budget). As is the case with any kind of production, the higher the budget, the more we are able to do and the better the overall quality of production will be.

As a lot of our clients are either independent record labels or unsigned they tend to be working on tight budgets, and a firm idea of cost is very important - we have put together a few benchmark options for the lower budget end of the scale to give you some idea of what you can get for your money.

Option 1: Basic Performance Promo - £500 (plus travel expenses)

This is our bargain basement credit crunch busting, no frills option and is a basic, simple showcase for just about any act. This is a 2 hour shoot approx. It would be a case of setting up at a single location (or mobile green screen) where we'd shoot 5 or so takes of you performing (lip syncing to a track) from different angles and vantage points cut them together to give you a good basic performance based vibe - it can be simple but effective - perfect for YouTube/Myspace/ Facebook and general promotion. At a location with mains electricity we would provide basic lighting if necessary, at a location with no power we would be totally reliant on natural lighting unless generator hire is arranged.

Option 2: Basic Performance Music Video - £1000 (plus travel expenses)

This option gives more of an edge and better production values. This is a 6 hour shoot approx, with basic lighting and haze if necessary - 1 generator would be provided if necessary. Generally you'd be looking at a slick performance based video- but with more takes ( around 10) thus improving the level of performance that could be captured, The edit would be more extensive.

Option 3: Multi- take, Performance & basic cut away Music Video - £1500

This gives you up to 8 hours shooting with more lighting, tracking or camera crane and a far greater amount of editing time, which you will need for quick/slick cutting effects and grading, giving you a more polished looking video. This also gives you more scope for basic storyboarded cut aways and would enable you to produce something that could gain airplay on the Music TV channels.

Option 4: Crane/ steadycam with cutaways shoot - £2000

This gives up to 12 hours shooting time and more pre and post production. This option enables more sophisticated storyboarded concepts to be shot and produced to a lot higher level - You also have the option of extra lighting, camera crane, tracking, Steady-cam and extra crew if necessary as well as some basic set building. This option gives you the opportunity to produce something original and memorable that can get you a high level of both Internet and TV exposure.

Option 5: Special Pop/R&B / Hip Hop Green Screen Studio / Animation Package - £2500

This is a complete package that provides you with everything you need to produce a very slick Pop/ hip-hop/ R&B studio based video complete with a custom made CGI back drop. The price includes studio hire that can be in Central London or at any of a number of studios nation wide. The result would be a very polished contemporary looking music video ready for TV broadcast.

Option 6: Two day Multi- location shoot - £3000

This gives the option of up to 24 hours shooting spread over 2 days at a up to 3 locations or as option 4 but with the addition of high end CGI effects or 35 mm lenses for a real big budget look. This option also allows for a higher degree of set building if necessary and/ or acquisition of specific props, and use of special cars etc

Option 7: Higher Budget Shoots - over £3000

We can cater for bigger budget and more elaborate shoots where a greater intensity of work over longer periods of time is involved, this can involve multiple locations (including over seas) with the option of steadicam, mini-helicopter cam, Red One or 16mm film cameras, specialist lenses and sophisticated CGI effects. We would need to discuss your requirements in detail before arriving at a costing.

Option 8: Over seas shoots -from £2500

You may think that it's only the likes of P- Diddy who can afford to shoot overseas - but that's simply not the case. We are now able to organise shoots throughout Europe and beyond for the price of a decent holiday!
