EXPENSES

​

Our packages are just the production and editing cost. Depending on the package and concept, there can be some additional expenses outside of that. 

Pre-Production

The most successful shoots come from having a solid plan. Location scouting, casting, hiring hair & make-up artists, building beat sheets, shot lists, storyboards, etc. are crucial for a fun, stress-free shoot. Let us know If you want us to take charge of this part of the production.

Behind the Scenes
​
Looking for more content? Hire our team to capture behind-the-scenes footage of your music video. You’ll walk away with a dedicated behind-the-scenes edit for online use, as well as behind the scene photos. The cost for Behind the Scenes starts at $600.

Food:
If we are filming for a long period of time with talent, and a crew we will budget for craft services. 

Talent
Music videos are always cool when you incorporate actors, dancers, or other talent. Keep in mind a lot of these cost. If you are considering having AHP do the preproduction, communicate your budget so we can cast the best talent within your budget.

VFX/Motion Graphics:
Music videos can get creative when you use VFX or motion graphics. These will cost additional based on the amount of hours needed. We can outline these ad- ditional expenses in a proposal after consulting our expert team of VFX/Motion graphic artists on your needs.

Crew:
We can provide services like hair & makeup, behind-the-scenes photo & video, choreography, etc. But these will be added based on the hours of production, and who’s available for the date you’ve selected. If you are considering hiring AHP for Pre-production we will outline these expenses in a proposal.

Location:
Some locations charge for film productions. This cost can vary based on the owner. Some require insurance. Some require permits.

Props / Set construction:
Some ideas need props or set construction to achieve a cer- tain look or help with the story. These extra items typically cost. Consider the time and money needed to get these ready for the day or the production. If you need help with these let us know.

Gear:
We are a fully equipped production house. However, we cannot obtain all the gear out there. If you have specific needs there may be gear we do not own, some examples being: projector, DJ Lights, tilt-shift lens, sunlight ARRIs, RED Dragon, bullet time rig, 360 camera, etc. Not sure what you need or if we have it? We can help you figure it out.

Travel
We charge $1.00 per mile for travel. If you exceed the mile radius of specific packages, you’ll need to purchase the next package up. We are willing to travel long distances, we charge for airfare, lodging, and transportation. For any traveling shoots our proposal will outline those specific expenses.
