How much does a video production company cost in Marbella?
By Maher Al Dali6 min read
The short answer
It depends on whether you hire a single piece or a monthly service, and on the shooting days, the editing and where it will be used. With us, content comes in monthly plans with the shoot included and no lock-in, and the full plan, with website and campaigns, is six months. The price is fixed in writing after the free audit; one-off projects, like a music video, get a fixed quote before we shoot.
There are plenty of production companies in Marbella and each one quotes in its own way. Here's how we work, what determines what anyone will ask you for, and what to ask so you can compare two quotes without being taken for a ride.
Per project or per month
A traditional production company works per project: an ad, a corporate video, a music video. You pay for one piece and they deliver it. It makes sense when you need one very specific thing.
A business that posts every week needs something else: new material every month. That's why our main model is monthly, with one shoot a month at your business and everything that comes out of it ready to post.
What's in each plan
| Plan | What comes in each month | Who posts |
|---|---|---|
| Entry plan | 2 crafted reels, 4 quick ones and 6 photos | You, with our calendar |
| Middle plan | 4 crafted reels, 4 quick ones, 8 photos and 1 carousel | Us, on Instagram and Facebook |
| The fullest content plan | 4 crafted reels, 6 quick ones, 16 photos and 2 carousels | Us, on all your channels |
| Full plan, six months | Content, website, Meta Ads, Google Ads and monthly analysis | Us |
The fee is fixed in writing before we start. The content plans have no lock-in and money spent on ads is separate.
What a production company's price depends on
- The shooting days and how many people come.
- Whether there's an idea, script and location behind it.
- The hours of editing, colour and sound.
- The formats: one horizontal isn't the same as ten verticals.
- Where it will be used: social media, website, ads or television.
- Travel, if the production company isn't nearby.
The options, side by side
| Option | How you pay | What you get | The risk |
|---|---|---|---|
| Freelance videographer | Per session or per day | Filming and editing, depending on the case | Depending on a diary you don't control |
| Production company, per project | Per project | One finished piece | It goes stale and you have to start again |
| Marketing agency with no camera | Monthly fee | Plan, posting and ads | That it subcontracts the shoot or leans on stock images |
| FILMAGENCY | Monthly fee, fixed before we start | Monthly shoot, pieces, posting and, if you want, website and ads | No lock-in on the content plans |
What to ask before you sign
- How many pieces do you deliver and in what formats?
- Who writes the idea?
- Are editing and colour done by whoever shot it?
- How many days from the shoot to delivery?
- Who owns the footage if I stop?
- Is there a lock-in, and how long?
Our answers, in case they help as a yardstick: we write the idea, editing and colour are done in-house, we deliver in ten days, the footage is yours and the content plans have no lock-in.
10 days
from the shoot to delivery. If we don't make it, you don't pay for that month.
