Ever asked a video production company for pricing only to get a frustratingly vague answer? You're not alone. In this candid exploration of video production costs, we pull back the curtain on why "how much does video cost?" might be the wrong question altogether.

We break down real numbers for the Midwest market, from bare-minimum $5,000 projects to $250,000 documentary films, while explaining the factors that drive these costs. But more importantly, we challenge the traditional thinking about video budgeting by focusing on outcomes rather than outputs.

What if your $60,000 budget would deliver more value as a $30,000 production paired with $30,000 in strategic distribution? How might quarterly productions generating 21 content pieces outperform a single "hero" video? These questions reveal the true nature of effective video marketing. It's not about a one-time expense but an ongoing strategy that feeds your marketing channels consistently.

Drawing on our experience with clients across various industries, we explain why video production costs what it does (hint: you're hiring professionals for a significant amount of their time) and why the relationship with your production partner matters more than the price tag. For businesses feeling uncomfortable with video costs, we offer a simple framework: if your investment has the potential to deliver returns many times its value, the initial price becomes less relevant than the strategic outcome.
