Cost
At least weekly, we have the following telephone conversation:
"Hello. I need to make a 10-minute video. How much will that cost?"
"Between one hundred and one hundred thousand dollars."
"Wow! Why such a wide range?"
"Your script is blank."
Estimates
Some of you reading this have a grant budget due tomorrow and no time to talk. Okay. For broadcast-quality video production involving shooting on location but no out-of-state travel, no actors, and no special effects, figure $1,500.00 per finished program minute.
If you think you'll need more or less production, let's talk. Your best bet is to view our example projects, find one like the one you have in mind, and refer to it when you talk to us.
Fees
The DMC's video production services are fee-based. An initial one-hour consultation is provided for no charge, and then the following service fees apply:
| Service | Estimated Cost |

| personnel | $70 an hour $102 an hour (overtime) |
| equipment and facilities (e.g., studio, editing suite) | $11.00-$100.00 |
| supplies (e.g., video tapes, audio mini disc) | $2.50-$52.00 |
