Kaiser Permanente brand video
Two-day film, $14,000 to $35,000A brand film across multiple sites. Two days of filming, because a single location cannot carry an organisation this size.
Brand video cost
A one-day founder or brand story runs $9,000 to $13,500. A two-day brand story film across several locations runs $14,000 to $35,000, and a multi-location campaign is quoted per scope.
Every number here is the one we quote. Pre-production $1,000 to $1,500, a shoot day $6,000 to $8,000, editing $2,000 to $4,000 per film, cutdowns $750. Or build your own estimate in two minutes.
What these budgets actually buy
Four real brand projects at four price points, so the ranges below have something behind them.
Strada Coffee brand story
One-day story, $9,000 to $13,500A founder brand story shot in one day. Seventy-six seconds finished, and it is the format most companies should actually buy.
Gourmet Trading brand interview
One-day interview, $9,000 to $13,500An interview-led brand film made in a working packhouse. No script, no talent, no set build, and it still carries the whole company.
Financial services brand film
Campaign cut, quoted per scopeOne film from a multi-location campaign. At campaign scale the price is driven by site count rather than by runtime.
What moves the number
Six things change a brand video quote. Nothing else does.
How many locationsThe biggest lever. One site is one day. Three sites is three days plus travel, and that is most of the gap between $9,000 and $35,000.-
Interview-led or scriptedAn interview-led film needs good questions and a quiet room. A scripted film needs a script, a director, talent and probably a set.
-
Who is on cameraYour founder and staff cost nothing beyond their time. Cast talent brings casting, day rates and usage licensing with it.
-
How much b-rollProduct, process, facility and community coverage is what stops a brand film being a talking head. It is cheap on the day and impossible later.
-
Music and motion graphicsA licensed track and simple titles are included. Composed music and heavy motion design are quoted separately.
-
How many cutdownsThe hero film, the 60-second cut, the vertical version and the social set. Each is $750 from footage already shot.

What brand videos cost in 2026
A brand video costs $9,000 to $13,500 for a one-day founder or brand story filmed at a single location. A two-day brand story film across several sites runs $14,000 to $35,000, and a multi-location campaign is quoted per scope. Additional cutdowns are $750 each.
The brand film is the format companies most often buy first and most often overbuy. A single day, interview-led, with your own founder and real b-roll of the work will carry a homepage for three years and costs nine thousand dollars. The two-day, multi-site, scripted version is a genuinely different product, and it is right when you are repositioning or have an event to build around. It is not right simply because the brief said brand film.
1What is the cheapest brand video?
A one-day interview-led brand story at $9,000. One location, your own people, real b-roll, and a finished film that lasts three years.
2When do you need the two-day version?
When the story genuinely lives across several sites, when you are repositioning, or when there is an event or raise it has to carry.
3How is it billed?
A 40 percent deposit to book the shoot, the balance on delivery. We bill through purchase orders and AP portals where your finance team needs that.
Every brand format and what it costs

How to spend less without filming less
Start with the one-day version
It carries a homepage for three years at $9,000. Scale to the two-day film once you know what the first one earned.
Interview rather than script
No script, no director, no talent, and the result sounds like the company instead of an agency. It is cheaper and usually better.
Use your own people
A founder and real staff cost their time. Cast talent brings casting fees, day rates and usage licensing into the budget.
Take the b-roll seriously
Product, process and facility coverage is what separates a brand film from a talking head, and it is free on the day and impossible afterwards.
Film the culture version at the same time
A careers-page cut from the same visit costs an edit rather than another $9,000 shoot day.
Licensed music unless the film needs otherwise
A well-chosen track costs a fraction of an original score, and nobody watching can tell the difference.

Brand video pricing FAQs
How much does a brand video cost?
A one-day founder or brand story at a single location runs $9,000 to $13,500. A two-day brand story film across several sites runs $14,000 to $35,000. A multi-location campaign is quoted per scope.
Do we need the two-day version?
Usually not first. The one-day interview-led film carries a homepage for three years. Buy the two-day version when you are repositioning, or when the story genuinely lives across several sites.
Is it cheaper without a script?
Yes, and often better. An interview-led film removes the script, the director and the talent from the budget, and what comes back sounds like the company rather than an agency.
How long does a brand film last?
Two to three years, sometimes longer. That is why it is worth filming properly, and why it should be budgeted differently from ad creative that fatigues in weeks.
Can we get a recruitment cut from the same shoot?
Yes, and it costs an edit rather than another shoot day. Say so at scope and we film the extra coverage while the crew is already there.
What is included in a shoot day?
Crew, camera, lighting and audio for a working day on location. Pre-production is quoted separately at $1,000 to $1,500 and editing at $2,000 to $4,000 per finished film.
How does billing work?
A 40 percent deposit books the shoot date and the balance is due on delivery. We bill through purchase orders and AP portals where your finance team requires it.
How many revisions are included?
One consolidated review round on the cut. Extra rounds are quoted at the time so a long approval chain never turns into a surprise invoice.
Do you charge for travel?
Not within Southern California. We are based in Irvine and film across Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose and the Bay Area. Travel outside California is quoted at cost.
Can I get a written quote without a call?
Yes. Send the format, the scale and roughly when you need it, and you get a written scope and a number back, usually the same day.
