What to Know
When planning your next event or video project, there are many factors to consider. Below are some of the most common types of video projects we work on, along with what you can expect from each.
Music Videos
Music videos are a powerful way to gain exposure and expand your artistic portfolio. With modern technology, almost any creative concept can be brought to life. The process of shooting and editing varies greatly depending on factors like video quality, number of scenes, and desired effects.
Here’s a breakdown of different types of music videos and their estimated production time:
1. Basic Performance Video
A performance video features an artist or band (typically 1-5 members) performing along with a pre-recorded final audio mix. This ensures that the visuals stay perfectly in sync with the song.
• Shooting Time: 2-4 hours
• Editing Time: 2-4 hours
• Best for: Artists of all levels who want a straightforward yet engaging way to showcase their music and band members.
2. Concept Music Video
A concept video revolves around a specific idea or theme—whether tied to the song’s lyrics or something entirely abstract. These videos encourage artistic expression and allow viewers to interpret the message in their own way.
Potential Shooting & Editing Time:
• Simple concepts: 5-10 hours total
• Complex concepts: 40+ hours
• Best for: Artists looking for a creative and visually striking way to represent their music.
3. Narrative / Story-Based Video
A narrative video tells a story that unfolds throughout the song. The storyline often aligns with the lyrics but can also follow a different path while matching the song’s mood. These videos may involve multiple locations, cast members (including hired talent), and a mix of performance and storytelling elements.
• Shooting Time: Multiple days, depending on the complexity
• Additional Costs: Travel, hired actors, location rentals
• Best for: Artists looking for a cinematic, storytelling-driven music video.
Recommended Approach for Narrative Videos
Due to the extended shooting schedule, we recommend day rates for narrative video productions to ensure the best results without unexpected costs.
