How Much Does a Corporate Video Cost? A Straightforward Guide

It’s usually the first question anyone asks, and the hardest to answer honestly — because ‘it depends’ is true, but not very useful.

So here’s a proper answer, from a company that’s been quoting and delivering these projects for 25 years.

500+ videos delivered. 20+ years in production. No two quotes the same — because no two projects are.

Why there’s no single price

A corporate video isn’t one product — it’s a range of very different jobs that happen to share a name.

A single-camera interview filmed in your office and a multi-location brand film with drone shots and motion graphics are both ‘corporate videos.’ They can differ in cost by a factor of ten.

What actually drives the price

Pre-production and planning. Scripting, storyboarding, working out what the video needs to achieve. This stage is often underestimated — it’s where a lot of the value gets built in.

Filming day(s). Crew size, equipment, and location count matter most here. More people and more time genuinely cost more — nobody’s padding the invoice.

Editing and post-production. Cutting footage into a coherent story, colour grading, sound design, motion graphics, revisions.

Rights, music, and delivery formats. Licensed music, voiceover fees, and multiple aspect ratios for different platforms all add time.

In practice, most enquiries fall into one of two camps: ‘I need one specific thing’ (a testimonial, an event recap, a LinkedIn clip) or ‘I need to tell a bigger story’ (a brand film, a multi-location campaign). The first is usually a fast, focused quote. The second needs a proper conversation before any number means anything, because the scope itself is still being defined.

How to get an accurate quote, not a guess

Most projects start with a 15–30 minute discovery call to talk through objectives, deliverables, and logistics. Smaller, well-defined projects — a single testimonial, a straightforward event recap — can often be quoted from an email instead, without needing a call at all.

For a straightforward single-location shoot, you’re typically looking at half a day to a full day of pre-production, one filming day, and one to two days of editing — around 1 to 2 weeks from brief to delivery, depending on how quickly feedback comes back at each stage.

The studio option — a faster, cheaper way to get content

Not every video needs a full production crew on location. For LinkedIn content, short explainers, welcome videos, or webinar recordings, our Business Video Studio in Marshfield (between Bristol and Bath) is often the more efficient route — booked by the hour rather than quoted per project.

SessionPriceGood for
1 Hour£150LinkedIn or website videos, quick batch content
2 Hours£250A larger content batch in one visit
Half Day (4 Hours)£350Training videos, webinars, more depth
Full Day (8 Hours)£650A full year of content in one session

Everything’s filmed with a teleprompter, so there’s no need to memorise a script — you can walk in, read from the prompter, and walk out with polished, ready-to-use footage the same day.

Common Questions

What’s the cheapest type of corporate video?

A single testimonial or interview video, filmed in one location with a simple edit — typically the lowest-cost option.

Does a cheaper quote mean lower quality?

Not necessarily, but a video that needs redoing or doesn’t land with your audience costs more in wasted time than paying properly the first time.

What should I ask before commissioning a video?

What’s included versus billed as extra, how many revision rounds, and whether they can show finished work in your sector.

How long does a typical corporate video project take, start to finish?

A straightforward single-location shoot usually runs 1 to 2 weeks from brief to delivery, covering pre-production, one filming day, and editing. Multi-location or heavily animated projects take longer — proper planning at the start is what keeps things on schedule.

Are revisions included in the price?

Yes — up to two rounds of reasonable revisions are included as standard. Anything beyond that, or changes outside the agreed scope, is charged at the standard editing rate.
