It depends on what the story needs, but here's where things start. A half day shoot is $450 and a full day is $800. Editing is $120 an hour and covers both landscape and vertical versions.

The best way to get an accurate quote is to book a quick call so I can understand what you're after. From there you'll get a clear price before anything is locked in.

Most single day projects run three to four weeks from brief to final file. One shoot day, first cut inside two weeks, one round of notes, then delivery.

I do. Buddy Productions is a one person operation by design, with trusted crew brought in when a project needs a second camera or a sound recordist.

Before any shoot, we'll put together an outline of the video together. It covers the story we're telling, who we're speaking with, the key moments we want to capture and where the film will live once it's done. That way we're both on the same page before the camera comes out. You don't need a polished script, just a clear idea of what you want people to take away. The outline gives us direction while still leaving room for the real moments that make documentary work stand out.
