Once you have told us what you need and so
that we can figure out how many days we will require to record, what
talent and props are required, etc., we provide you with a detailed
budget -- free of charge.
The cost of programmes vary from as little
as R800/running minute to R4,000+/running minute, depending on whether
the programme is straight-forward or requires helicopter shots, 3-D
animation, famous-name actors, puppets, huge studio sets, etc. (For a corporate video programme of 20
minutes in duration that requires one day of video recording, with
professional voice-over commentary and logo animation, expect to pay
approximately R2,800 per running programme minute.)
Videos
of
functions
--
during
which
all
shots
are
recorded
consecutively
--
generally
require much less recording as well as editing time and such
programmes are, therefore, much less costly as the editing is much
simpler and faster.
A 2-hour edited
programme of
e.g. a conference/concert, recorded with two or more cameras, will cost
approximately R15,000.00 if names and titles, music, etc. are added and
the
programme is provided with opening and closing sequences/end titles.
A quick discussion will provide us with
information we need to draw up a quotation:
- What
is
the
topic?
- Does
the
client
provide
information
on
which
to
base
the
script?
- How
many
days
are
we
going
to
record?
- How
many
cameras
do
we
need
to
record?
- Where
are
we
going
to
record?
- How
many
km
will
we
travel?
- Are
actors/presenters/puppets
involved?
- Do
you
have
any
specific
actors/presenter
in
mind?
- Do
we
need
a
commentary
track?
- Will
2D
or
3D
Animation
be
required
and/or
autocue?
- Artwork
&
scans?
- Should
the
Master
DVD
be
authored
--
i.e.chapters,
scene
selection,
etc?
- How many
copies of the completed programme are required and in what type of
packging? (Clam
Shells
or
DVD Presentation boxes.)
- Do you
require looped copies (e.g. for exhibitions) and/or a copy in a format
that can be uploaded to your web site?
Please answer the questions above

for a more detailed questionnaire, including additional information/
explanations as well as copy prices on the various formats, to panache@lantic.net.)
Due to the
nature of the medium, the shorter the programme, the more expensive it
becomes per running minute. (Whether is is a 5 minute or 20 minute
programme, it will require a day of recording -- however the shorter
the duration, the less time-consuming the edit.)
We record on Panasonic GS400 and/or DVCAM and edit on the cutting-edge
Canopus Storm digital editing system (Edius), ensuring broadcast
quality -- and we are in the process of switching over to High
Defninition at the moment.
You could go the expensive agency route or
the simple, one-stop,
hassle-free
Panache-route —
which will also be easy on your pocket!
