What Does Commercial Video Production Really Cost?

Unlocking Commercial Video Costs

No two films cost the same. The price follows the days, the crew, the places, and the edit.

The shoot

A short social clip with a small crew costs less than a multi-day spot with actors, travel, or animation.

Types of video

The plan covers the script, the locations, and the cast. The shoot covers camera, light, and sound. The edit covers the cut, color, music, and graphics.

About The Author

Mark Serao

Brands Mark Has Worked With

Mark’s love and passion for photography started at a very young age. His father had built a darkroom in the basement of their house and for a young Mark, the spark was ignited. He saw the magic of watching a simple piece of photo paper transform into an image right in front of his eyes and he was hooked. Right then and there he decided he needed to be involved in that creative world somehow. Not knowing exactly where or how to break into the industry after graduating William Paterson University of New Jersey, Mark felt the best approach would be to start his own production company.

Professionally, Mark has spent the last 20+ years as a co-founder of Grey Sky Films and has directed thousands of videos. He feels lucky to have had the privilege to work with agencies and clients such as Entennmann’s, Chimay, Global Beer Network, Gatorade, Propel, HTC, LG, Prudential, SONY, Optimum, Ashley Furniture, Post Foods, D’Artagnan, PSE&G and so many more.

Mark’s work has taken him around the world to so many awe-inspiring places and has placed him in every situation imaginable.
