There is no price list for this, and anyone who gives you one is quoting a different job to the one you have. Video production cost in Saudi Arabia is driven by a handful of things, and once you understand them you can shape the budget yourself rather than being surprised by it.
We quote every job individually. These are the levers that move the number.
Crew size and shoot days
The single biggest lever. One operator for one day and a full crew for four are different orders of magnitude. Shooting two films on the same day with the same setup costs far less than shooting them a month apart.
Access and permissions
Some locations are straightforward. Others need approvals, escorts or restricted hours, and all of that is time. It is worth asking early whether your dream location is going to cost you two shoot days in paperwork.
Post production
A straight cut of an interview and a graded film with motion graphics, an original score and three language versions are not the same job, even from identical footage. Post is where budgets quietly double.
Deliverables
One film, or one film plus nine social cuts in three ratios? Decide before the shoot, because it changes how we frame everything.
How to get a number quickly
Tell us what the video is for, where it will run, roughly when, and what has to be in it. That is enough for a realistic figure, and far more useful than asking what a video costs.
Why video production cost in Saudi Arabia varies so much
Two films of identical length can differ by a factor of ten. One is an interview in an office with a single operator. The other is four locations, a crew of eight, drone permissions and three language versions. The running time of a film tells you almost nothing about what it costs to make.
“Post production is where budgets quietly double.”
Stock Stop
Every job is different, which is why we price each one on its own. See our video production service, tell us what you need in London, across the United Kingdom, in Riyadh or anywhere in Saudi Arabia, and we will come back with a plan.
