Shoot days
The single biggest lever. A tight one-day shoot and a three-day multi-site schedule are different projects, not different prices for the same one.
If your project is starting to take shape, this is the right place to begin. PurplePerfect will help translate that into a sharper creative direction and cost efficient methods.










You do not need a perfect brief. A clear business objective and expected use are enough to begin.
Before you ask for a quote
We quote against scope, not a price list — because a safety induction film for one plant and a documentary across four sites are not the same job. These are the six things that actually move the number.
If you are comparing quotes, compare like for like. A number that only covers filming and editing will always look lower than one that includes strategy, message development, creative direction, production management and review control. Ask each vendor what is inside their number — that is usually where the difference is hiding.

One office is straightforward. A plant, an offshore facility or four sites across two states brings travel, permits, escorts and HSE induction with it.
Interviews with leadership, staff appearing on camera, or professional talent each change the day — scheduling, direction, and the time needed to get it right.
A straight documentary edit sits at one end. Scripted scenes, animation, motion graphics, drone and original music each add craft, and time.
One master film, or a master plus social cutdowns, subtitles, Bahasa and English versions, and formats for exhibition and internal use.
A single decision-maker moves quickly. Six stakeholders across three departments means more review stages built in — and that is budgeted, not improvised.
Five stages, and you know what is happening at each one. The stage durations below are working time on our side — the calendar total depends mostly on how quickly your side can review and approve.
We work out what the video must achieve, who it is speaking to, and what should change after they watch. Before anything visual is decided.
You see the direction in writing — the story spine, the scenes, the proof points and the intended audience response — and approve it before we shoot.
The shoot itself. Crew, direction, and managing your people so they look and sound like themselves rather than like they are being filmed.
First cut, your feedback, then refinement. Review points are agreed in the proposal so approvals are structured rather than open-ended.
Final files in the formats you need — master, cutdowns, subtitles, versions — with guidance on where and how to use them.
Typically 4–6 weeks end to endfor a corporate video, from confirmation to final delivery. Tighter deadlines are usually possible — tell us the date you need and we will tell you honestly whether it can be protected.
