FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Here’s what every prospective client should know about how we price video and photo services at Kelly Rose Productions: 1. Transparent, Customized Quotes We don’t believe in one‑size‑fits‑all. Every project is unique, so we start by understanding your goals, timeline, and deliverables. You’ll receive a detailed proposal outlining exactly what’s included—no surprises. 2. Package-Based and À La Carte Options Corporate & Marketing Videos Day Rate or Project Rate: Depending on scope, you can choose a day‑rate (crew, equipment, on‑site shooting) or a flat project fee that bundles pre‑production, shooting, editing, and delivery. Add‑Ons: Voiceover talent, motion graphics, scriptwriting, and closed captions can be added based on your needs. Real‑Estate Video Packages Turnkey packages start at competitive entry‑level pricing, with upgrades for drone footage, virtual staging, or agent branding inserts. Wedding & Engagement Photography/Videography Tiered packages (6‑, 8‑, and 10‑hour days) let you match coverage to your schedule and budget. Each tier includes lead photographer/videographer, assistants, and a polished highlight reel—with optional leather‑bound albums or print collections. 3. What Influences Cost Crew Size & Expertise: The number of team members on set (from a solo operator to a full crew) and any specialized talent (e.g., drone pilots, voice actors). Equipment & Technology: High‑end cinema cameras, lighting, and grip can add precision (and cost) but deliver cinematic quality. Post‑Production: Editing time scales with video length and complexity—simple cuts are faster; custom motion graphics or color grading require more hours. Usage & Licensing: Fees can vary if you need global broadcast rights, extended social‑media usage, or stock‑music licensing. 4. Payment Structure & Policies Deposit: 50% due upon contract signing to secure dates and begin planning. Balance: Remainder due upon production day and before post-production begins. Revisions: We include a set number of revision rounds; additional rounds are billed at our standard hourly rate. Travel & Overtime: If your shoot is outside the Atlanta metro area or runs beyond agreed hours, there may be modest additional fees—always disclosed up front. 5. Value & ROI Focus We see pricing not as a cost but as an investment in your brand’s story. Our goal is to deliver content that elevates your message, engages your audience, and drives measurable results—so you recoup your investment many times over. 6. Let’s Talk Budget Early Sharing your budget range up front helps us tailor the scope and recommend the best use of your dollars—whether that’s reallocating crew hours, adjusting deliverables, or suggesting phased rollouts. You deserve clarity and confidence when it comes to budgeting for video and photo—feel free to reach out with any questions or a ballpark figure, and we’ll craft a solution that fits both your vision and your bottom line.
