You want a number before you book a call. Fair. Here are the questions we hear most, answered plainly. For the full breakdown of what drives cost, read How Much Does Marketing & Video Cost in South Florida? or see our video production cost page.

What's the cheapest video you make?

Social and short-form video starts at $1,500. Testimonial video also starts at $1,500.

What does a brand or corporate video start at?

Starting at $3,500. See what goes into one on our corporate video page.

What about a commercial or ad spot?

Starting at $5,000. For an example, see our Dove Men+Care work.

Can I just book a shoot day?

Yes. A half day starts at $1,500 and a full day starts at $3,000.

Do you offer monthly video?

Yes. Monthly video content starts at $2,500/mo. It's the better fit when you need steady creative instead of one big piece.

Is there a travel fee?

No. We cover Palm Beach and Broward, and there's no travel fee.

Will there be surprise charges?

No. Every cost is built into the quote, so the number you approve is the number you pay.

Who handles permits and insurance?

We do. Colt Concepts is fully insured and handles permits and any other paperwork a shoot needs.

Does it cost more to film in your studio or at my location?

We film both on-site and at our Georgia Ave studio in West Palm Beach. Your quote reflects whichever the project needs. Neither comes with a travel fee.

Do drone, on-water or boat show shoots cost extra?

They're part of the scope, so they're priced into your quote up front. We shoot drone, chase boat, on-water and boat show coverage. More on our marine video page.

Can you film testimonials remotely?

Yes. Remote testimonials are an option when your customers are spread out. See our testimonial video page and the 3Natives franchise work.

How long does it take, and does rush cost more?

Standard is 1–3 weeks from brief to delivery. Rush is 24–72 hours. A rush timeline is scoped in the quote, so you'll see it before you commit.

Is ad spend included?

No. What you pay Google, Meta or TikTok is separate from production. We do media buying in-house, so we can make the ads and run them.

What about SEO or social media management?

Those are custom quotes, since scope varies a lot from business to business.

How fast can I get a quote?

Fast. Tell us the goal and the deadline, and we'll come back with the right mix, a timeline and a price.

Where can I see what I'd be paying for?
