How much does a corporate video cost?

Our shoot days start at $2,800 and brand films at $5,500.

Albie Roux, a filmmaker, directs and edits it from script to final cut; the crew is hired locally to the brief. You meet him before anything is shot.

How long should a brand film be?

It depends on the package. The short brand film is about ninety seconds to two minutes for the website; the longer one is two to three minutes. Both are cut into fifteen to sixty second pieces for social.

Do you write website copy?

Yes, from $1,500. Every word on this site was written that way, and its drafts are on file: press X on any element to read them.

Prices on this page are in US dollars, for clients billed outside South Africa. Billed in South Africa? See the rand list.

Fix & Grow · Content and film · Albie's work · Everything we do

Words and film people repeat.

We write and film for businesses that need people to remember what they do: website words from $1,500, a shoot day from $2,800, and a brand film from $5,500, with a longer package from $9,500. Albie Roux directs and edits the film; the crew is hired locally to the brief. Before a word is written or a frame is shot, we check there is one sentence to build it on.

Watch a paragraph get cut.

This is the paragraph under What we make, in the four drafts it went through. Drag to see what was cut, and why. Every element on this site has a record like this: press X on anything.

What we make.

01The words that sell when you are not in the room. We write the words that sell for you when you are not in the room: the website, the company profile, the proposal. Every piece is written from the one sentence, and every draft is kept.
02Film, made by a filmmaker. Albie scripts, directs and cuts; the crew is hired locally to the brief. Brand films, founder stories, the work being done. Made from what is true about the business, not from a content calendar.
03One shoot, many pieces. A shoot day is cut into the film for the site and short pieces for social, so one day of filming works for months.
04Measured by repetition. The test of good content is whether customers say it back to you. We ask them.

We test first. Every time.

Film and words amplify the message. If the business cannot say what it is in one sentence, the film will not either, however good it looks. So we check the sentence before a word is written or a frame is shot. The testing is inside the price. If it shows the real problem is underneath, we will tell you in writing, and you can still go ahead. We will just be stubborn about it.

01The one sentence: can the business say what it is, for whom, and why it is the one to call?
02What your current words and film say to a stranger.
03Who the film is for and where they will watch it.
04What is true and showable: the people, the work, the place.

What it costs.

How much does a corporate video cost?: Our shoot days start at $2,800 and brand films at $5,500.
