FAQ

Pricing questions, answered

How much does video production cost in China?+

As honest starting points: a videographer half-day from US$400, a two-person crew from US$800, an edited corporate video from US$2,000, a multi-camera live stream from US$1,500, and a broadcast-level event stream from US$3,000. Final pricing depends on city, duration, crew size and deliverables — send your brief for a fixed quote.

Are there hidden costs we should expect?+

No. Our quotes are itemized: crew, gear, travel, post-production and distribution each on their own line. The number on the quote is the number on the invoice, unless you change the scope.

How do payments work for overseas companies?+

We issue English contracts and invoices from our registered Beijing entity and accept international bank transfer. Typical terms are a deposit to confirm the booking with the balance on delivery.

Why are your prices in USD?+

Most of our clients budget in USD, so we quote in USD by default. We can also quote in EUR or CNY if that suits your procurement process better.

Do rates differ between cities?+

Slightly. Beijing and Shanghai have resident crews and the sharpest rates; other cities may include modest travel costs, which appear as their own line on the quote — never absorbed into inflated day rates.
