LEARN · PRODUCTION BUDGETS

What does your budget make possible?

More budget can create more production value, but a smaller budget can still produce something useful, honest and effective. The right solution depends on what you actually need.

€100

Fast and simple.

A compact production using a smartphone or a small camera setup. Ideal for a quick social media clip, a basic testimonial or a simple behind-the-scenes moment.

Solo creator filming with a smartphone

€500

A creator with support.

A photographer or filmmaker plus one assistant. The extra person can handle a light, audio or practical setup, creating a cleaner and more controlled result.

Filmmaker working with an assistant and light

€1,000

A small production team.

More time for planning, stronger lighting and audio, and room for several setups. A good level for a focused brand film, campaign content or a more polished commercial result.

Small professional production team

€3,000

More control and more options.

Pre-production, a larger crew, dedicated roles, professional audio, lighting and more complete post-production. This supports a stronger and more consistent campaign.

Professional production crew on set

€10,000

A complete commercial production.

Creative development, multiple specialists, advanced equipment, locations, styling and detailed post-production. Best suited to campaigns where the result must perform across several platforms.

THE IMPORTANT PART

The best budget is the one that fits the real goal.

Not every project needs €10,000. For some businesses, a €100 video is more than enough to communicate clearly and move forward. Other projects require a team, more time and higher production value because the content will be used in a larger campaign.

A budget is not a measure of how important a client is. It is a practical tool that determines how much time, crew, equipment and creative work can be included. The goal is always to use the available budget intelligently.
