Corporate video in Melbourne costs somewhere between $2,500 and $50,000. That range is so wide it is almost useless, so here is the breakdown.
A testimonial or single interview: $2,500 to $5,000. One or two cameras, a 60 to 90 second edit, one location.
A company overview: $5,000 to $12,000. Multi-camera, two to three minutes, B-roll, branded graphics.
A promotional or commercial piece: $8,000 to $20,000. Scripted, directed, styled, with real colour grading and sound design.
A brand film: $15,000 to $50,000 and up. Full pre-production, multi-day shoot, cinema-grade post.
Most Melbourne businesses land between $5,000 and $15,000 on their first video.
The number that matters is not the quote. It is the cost per year of use. A $12,000 brand film that runs on your homepage for three years and pulls enquiries costs less than a $3,000 video nobody finishes watching.
If you are budgeting for video this quarter, work out what the video has to do first. The price follows the job, not the other way around.

corporatevideomelbourne Every extra shoot day roughly doubles your production cost.
Crew, gear, travel, setup, teardown. All of it repeats. A crew of two to four in Melbourne runs $2,500 to $6,000 per shoot day depending on the equipment package.
Which is why the smartest thing you can do is get more out of the day you are already paying for.
Three videos in one day beats three separate shoots every time. Same crew call, same lighting setup, three finished pieces.
Plan the day properly and it pays for itself twice over.

Most people assume a video budget is mostly the shoot day. It is not.
Here is how a typical Melbourne corporate video budget splits:
Pre-production, 15 to 20 percent. Scripting, storyboarding, location scouting, casting, scheduling.
Production, 35 to 45 percent. Crew, equipment, shoot days.
Post-production, 30 to 40 percent. Editing, motion graphics, colour, sound design, revisions.
Delivery and licensing, 5 to 10 percent. Music, stock, format exports.
Two things follow from that.
First, the edit is not an afterthought. It is close to half the job. A quote that treats post as a rounding error is a quote that has not been thought through.
Second, the cheapest way to control cost is not cutting the shoot. It is tightening the brief before anyone picks up a camera. Every unresolved decision gets paid for twice in post.
Ask any production company to itemise those four lines. If they cannot, keep looking.

corporatevideomelbourne Batching is the single biggest cost saver in corporate video.
One crew call. One lighting setup. One location fee. Three to five finished videos.
Per-video cost drops 30 to 50 percent, and you walk away with a content bank instead of a single asset.
Tell your producer upfront that you want vertical cuts and short teasers from the same footage. Filming once and cutting it five ways costs a fraction of filming five times.
Book the day. Fill the day.

Be careful with any corporate video quote under $1,500.
At that price you are getting a solo operator with a consumer camera, available light, on-camera audio, and a fast edit. The finished video looks and sounds exactly like what it cost, and it sits on your website representing your company to every prospect who lands there.
The second red flag is a quote with no itemised breakdown. A professional production company can tell you what you are paying for at each stage: pre-production, crew and equipment, shoot days, post-production, delivery and licensing. If the quote is one number with no working shown, you have nothing to compare it against.
Cheap is not the risk. Vague is the risk.
Ask for the line items. Ask what happens if the weather turns. Ask how many revision rounds are included. The answers tell you more about a production company than the showreel does.

corporatevideomelbourne Melbourne adds costs that no national pricing guide will tell you about.
Location permits. Small crews filming in public spaces are often free or close to it. A commercial shoot in Hosier Lane, Federation Square or Docklands can run $200 to $800 a day in permits alone.
Weather contingency. Any outdoor shoot in this city needs a plan B. Ask upfront whether a weather call costs you a reshoot fee.
Studio hire. Richmond, Collingwood, South Melbourne, Port Melbourne. $500 to $2,000 a day.
Best move for most businesses: shoot in your own space. Your office, warehouse or workshop has real character, and it costs nothing.

Vague briefs produce vague quotes. Here is what a Melbourne production company needs from you to price a job properly.
1. Video type. Testimonial, brand film, training, event, promo.
2. Audience and placement. Website, paid social, internal comms, events.
3. Approximate length. 60 seconds, two to three minutes, longer.
4. How many people appear on camera.
5. Script status. Written, drafted, or needs writing.
6. Timeline from kickoff to delivery.
7. Budget range.
That last one makes people uncomfortable. Share it anyway. A producer who knows you have $8,000 will design an $8,000 shoot that works. A producer guessing in the dark will either overspec the quote and lose the job, or underspec it and disappoint you.
Most Melbourne production companies offer a free consultation. A 30 minute call with a producer surfaces the hidden costs and tightens the number far more than an email thread ever will.
Send the brief. Book the call.

corporatevideomelbourne Not every video should be built to a budget.
Your brand film sits on the homepage, opens the conference, and gets sent to every serious prospect. A good one runs three to five years before it needs a refresh.
Spend $20,000 on a film that works for five years and it costs you $4,000 a year. Spend $3,000 on something nobody watches and it costs you the enquiries you never knew you missed.
Same logic applies to product launches, recruitment films, and the first few episodes of any series you plan to run. Production quality sets the expectation for everything that follows.
Spend where the video has to work hardest.

corporatevideomelbourne What corporate video actually costs in Melbourne, by type. Swipe for the full range.
Every quote you get is built from the same three levers: how many people are on crew, how many days you shoot, and how complex the edit is. Change one and the number moves.
A testimonial at $2,500 and a brand film at $50,000 are not the same product. They are not trying to do the same job either.
Most Melbourne businesses land between $5,000 and $15,000 on their first video. That covers testimonials, company overviews and promo content.
Save this one. Pull it up next time a quote lands in your inbox and you want to know whether the number is fair.
