This will depend on many variables such as length of production, studio or location shooting, graphics and animation, logistics, etc. I can tell you that video productions will typically cost $1,500 - $5,000 per finished minute of video. You're probably thinking that this is a very wide range of pricing, and you would be right, it is.

Let me help you further. An example of the low end would be a day of shooting at one location with no hired talent, dollies, jibs, cranes, platforms, green screens, etc. It would also include minimal graphics or animation in post-production. On the high-end, some or all of those extra items would be needed to complete the project.

At His Hands, our cost usually runs between $750 - $3,000 per finished minute of video. We have a lower than normal starting point because we do a lot of projets that do not require shooting, it is simply post-production - editing, graphics, and sound. Our high end is less, because we rarely need expensive extra gear, equipment, or hired talent for our client's productions.

So, after all that said, every project is unique and would require a consultation to determine the costs for your production. Contact us and we will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Yes, we have a large library of royalty free stock video clips that we can use. We can also use any photographs you may have to generate moving images. We would then spice it up with some graphics and animation, followed by a professional sound track using cuts from our royalty free music library and sound effects library.

The last step would be to add professional voice over to add the necessary commentary to complete the story or message of your project. We do a lot of this type of projects for Christian organizations and churches that need a profesional video but do not have the budget for a full production.

Sure, you can send your tapes, files or DVDs with instructions and we will edit the project for you. Once we've completed the first cut we'll upload the video to our secure server (with time code) and send you a user name and password to log in to our client preview area. You can view, log any changes and email your comments to us. We'll make your changes and upload the second cut. Once you approve the edit, we'll make the final cut, and author your DVD's or upload a digital file for you to download.
