Quick answer

On the Gold Coast, a half-day corporate video shoot with a single videographer typically starts around $900, while full brand or campaign productions involving a crew, multiple locations and extended post-production usually range from $3,000 to $15,000+. Post-production is generally billed separately, often at an hourly rate.

What drives the cost

Shoot length and crew size

A single-location interview or testimonial video with one videographer costs far less than a multi-location brand film requiring a director, camera operator, sound recordist and lighting support. Crew size is usually the single biggest driver of day-rate cost.

Locations and travel

Shooting across multiple Gold Coast or Brisbane locations in one day adds setup and travel time. Projects that require permits — such as filming in national parks, at events, or on private commercial property — can also add cost and lead time.

Post-production scope

Editing, colour grading, sound design and motion graphics are usually quoted separately from the shoot day. At Oliver Studio, post-production is billed at $140 per hour, with simple edits taking a few hours and more complex multi-deliverable projects (a hero video plus social cutdowns, for example) taking considerably longer.

Typical project ranges

Single testimonial or interview video: from around $900 for the shoot, plus editing
Corporate brand video (half to full day): $1,500–$4,000
Multi-day campaign production (multiple locations, talent, drone): $5,000–$15,000+

Getting an accurate quote

Because scope varies so much between projects, the most reliable way to budget is to get a tailored quote. Send through your brief, timeline and any reference videos, and you'll get a proposal that breaks down shoot and post-production costs separately so you know exactly what you're paying for.
