Transparent Pricing. No Surprises.
Every project is quoted individually — but these ranges give you an honest starting point. All prices exclude VAT at 15%. We do not discount to win projects.
Why Ranges, Not Fixed Prices
Fixed prices either overprice simple work or underprice complex work — both are bad for you. Every project is different: different locations, different crew sizes, different post-production requirements, different delivery formats. We quote every project individually. These ranges tell you where most projects land.

Questions
Pricing — Answered.
Fixed prices either overprice simple work or underprice complex work — both are bad for you. Every project is quoted individually with a full line-item breakdown.
Crew, equipment, pre-production, shoot days, post-production, agreed revision rounds, and final delivery in all agreed formats. Everything is itemised.
All prices are quoted exclusive of VAT. VAT at the current rate (15%) will be added to all invoices.
Our prices reflect the actual cost of delivering broadcast-quality work. We do not discount to win projects — that would require us to compromise on quality.
No. Our payment terms are 50/50 or 40/30/30 as outlined. These terms are non-negotiable and apply to all clients.
Rush delivery (24–48 hours) carries a premium surcharge, typically 30–50% of project value. Same-day event edits are priced individually.
