On average, video production services can go from $500 to $50,000 per video. However, the cost of video production depends on several factors, including crew size, location, timeline, and type of video being produced. To learn more about how much video production costs, read through Clutch's Video Production Pricing Guide.

Video production services include casting, directing, filming, post-production, scriptwriting, storyboarding, and visual effects; in short, video production companies do whatever they need to in order to bring your vision to life. When searching for a video production company, though, it may be helpful to search based on the type of video you're looking to create. Video production companies can create branded videos, commercial videos, educational and training videos, event coverage, documentaries, and more.

Clutch helps buyers find and shortlist potential service providers by collecting detailed client reviews that provide an accurate picture of what it is like to work with them. Topics covered in each review include Project scope, Project cost, Project length, Project management, Communication, Results, Feedback, and Client industry.

To ensure that each review is being left by a real client and that there are no conflicts of interest, Clutch verifies the identity of each reviewer and establishes proof of connection to the project. To identify a verified review, look for the checkmark in the bottom right corner of the review card.

Sponsoring service providers can also receive client reviews via phone interviews rather than the online review form. This provides more options to leave a review and makes it convenient for clients to leave a detailed review of the project.

The length of your partnership and what is involved depends mainly on the scope of your project and the type of video your partner is creating. Pre-production usually involves planning and production. In this stage, your video production partner will help identify your target audience, fine-tune messaging, develop a script and storyboard, scout locations, hire actors, and more. To prepare for filming, they will gather everything they need such as cameras, lighting and sound equipment, props, costumes, and sets. Once they've filmed everything, they will begin editing and adding music, effects, and graphics. Depending on your agreement and package, they will provide B-roll footage and additional content that you can share on different platforms in addition to your final product.
