Pricing guide

Clear numbers.
No surprises.

Every project is quoted, because no two are the same. These are the ranges we actually work in, so you can budget before you send a brief.

Draft figures for Frontier Media to confirm. These ranges are indicative, VAT included, and not a quote. Final pricing follows a short briefing call.

What moves the price

Six things we ask first.

  • Shoot days, crew size and how much kit is on the truck
  • Locations, permits and access windows
  • Talent, styling and craft services
  • Usage rights, and how long and where the footage runs
  • Depth of edit: motion graphics, animation, grade
  • The turnaround you need

We hold a date with a 50% deposit, and the balance falls due before final delivery. Prices are in South African rand.
