Service Rates

Video Production

There are a lot of different styles of video: commercials, interview-based testimonial videos, stop motion animation, and more. Therefore, videography rates are rarely cut and dried, but we do our best to be transparent about costs.

pre-production

Pre-production includes things like script writing, storyboarding, talent selection, and project management.

At Zander Media, we go to great lengths to ensure high quality end results, including interviewing potential actors, scoping out filming locations, and working closely with our clients to ensure their artistic vision comes to life.

production

Production means onsite videography, and anyone who has worked with us will tell you that working onsite with Zander Media is an experience unlike any other.

We bring energy and enthusiasm, as well as a deep sophistication into the art of cinematography making, to each of our projects.

post-production

Post-production is the process by which raw footage is turned into a polished project through editing (we work in Final Cut Pro), color correction, building a custom soundtrack, etc.

Our prices vary based on the amount of pre-production, the number of days on set, how much post-production is necessary, and the timeline.

Cost: Our commercials begin at around 45,000, though they can stretch beyond that.

Brand Therapy

Brand Therapy is our discovery process, consisting of 2 - 4 weeks of interviews with your leadership and customers to understand your organization from the inside out.

We summarize our findings and lead a workshop to help you distill your essential message.

You walk away with a new organizing idea and a 1-page summary of your new brand direction.

In full, Brand Therapy lasts from between 5 - 10 weeks.

Cost: 39,000

Design Sprints

Our Design Sprints last two weeks and typically follow after Brand Therapy or large video production. But sometimes you also just need some help with graphic design!

Ideation

After we get to know your brand, we develop several different visual directions for your consideration.

Refinement

We present concepts for you to consider, spark a dialogue, and create a design package that resonates with you. Together we align on a direction.

Implementation

After aesthetic approval, we create all the elements and tools you need to make most out of your new design.

Cost: Our design sprints begin at around 15,000, though they can stretch beyond that.

Day Rates

We prefer to work on a project basis because creativity isn’t an hourly thing, but below we have included some of our day rates for design, pre- and post-production, and filming.

weekly retainer

If a project extends beyond the agreed to timeframe due to delays from the client, we will charge a weekly retainer rate.

Script Writing

Good writing is essential, and writing a great script is often baked into our video production process. But sometimes writing is its own separate thing, and we bill hourly.

Cost: 349 per hour

Hourly Rate

As a rule, we do not usually work on an hourly rate because creativity - and great outcomes - are rarely so cut and dried.

But sometimes there just has to be one extra meeting or a few hours of post-production beyond scope.

When these situations arise, we bill accordingly.
