Frequently Asked Questions
What does a video cost? There are many factors that influence costs. The usual figure given in the industry is $1,000 to $5,000 per finished minute for quality productions. The price of production varies based on length of video, number of locations, talent costs, and equipment needs. The more involved the video, the more the production will cost. 3N Productions will work with you to determine what would be best for your needs.

How good is your equipment? Whether your video is to be used for in-house training, as a marketing piece for your website or to air on broadcast television all productions are videotaped and edited with state of the-art-technology. Your video story may include field production on location, i.e. your place of business or studio production or both.
What is a typical timeline? It depends on your schedule and deadlines. Preproduction which includes scripting and scheduling usually takes one to two weeks. Production usually takes one to two weeks, again depending on how many locations, availability of on camera talent, etc. Post-production usually takes two to three weeks. Again this may vary, the longer the project and the amount of graphics, special effects, etc. increases videotaping and editing timelines.
How long should my video be? For a broadcast commercial or public service announcements the lengths are 15, 30, 45 or 60 seconds.
For a corporate or non-profit video the optimal lengths are 5, 10, 15, 20 minutes.
For broadcast programming 30 to 60 minutes.
Who owns the copyright on the video? You do.

"Working with Alex and 3N Productions was a wonderful experience. Alex had the ability to calmly suggest how we could go about telling our story best. He was extremely professional in how he directed our video. When the product was finished it had just the essence of what we were trying to relay to our client base. We are thrilled with the results!"
