definitely this. Can get more expensive quick too, especially if a video requires multiple locations, multiple actors, multiple actors speaking, etc etc.

Also I can't remember if Adam does this, but most the industry will have different price tiers based on what you want to do with it. Running something on your homepage is a whole different ballgame compared to homepage + TV ads.



You can still make a decent job with much less than that, by using semi-pro actors, directors and editors.

We made a video with €3.5k, by contacting a local theater / cinema center, and got overwhelming positive feedbacks with the result. In retrospect, we are very happy with the quality/cost ratio.

I'm linking it here so that people can judge the difference in quality (which is visibile, but worth 10x the cost?): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODFHTN45vmo


Nice story, funny and cute acting, but definitely lower quality in a lot of production areas, which is what 10x ensures you get.

Two things that struck me were the lighting (amateurish) and the DOF (or abundance of it).


Yup, I mainly wanted to stress that there options for non-funded startups with little budget. We got lots of positive feedback on the video and I'm sure it did its job of explaining the app to the viewers.


You did well. Sandwich video is just for a different market (VC funded start-ups mainly it appears).
