Do you work with corporate clients?

We certainly do. We have a specialised Corporate Video Production Melbourne crew that is dedicated to the creation of corporate videos that stand out from the crowd.

We will work with your agency or marketing team to create a video that is as unique as you are.

We sure can! If you have the vision and a suitable budget, we have the producers, script developers, production crew, equipment and post-production skills to tackle just about any project. If you don’t have your finance in place, we can work through that part with you too. Our highly experienced team can take a simple idea and turn it into a long form TV series, documentary or whatever content style you’re after. Just ask Andrew, who turned his dream of a documentary series about the best bakers in the world, into a reality with “For the Love of Bread”.

Why should I choose you when there are cheaper options?

You know what they say; cheap, fast, good – you can only choose two. That’s the same logic you should us when it comes to producing video content. The low-cost guys might be able to get something in the can for you, but at the end of the day, you get what you pay for.

The goal should be to make the best possible content you can. After all, it’s going to be used to represent you to clients and is often the first point of engagement. So you want to leave a lasting, positive impression, which is why you want the best Video Production Company Melbourne has to offer – us! (Well that’s what we like to think)

How can I get a quote for my project?

Whether you’re looking for a quote, pitch, or just wanting to chew the fat with Dave or Al, you can reach out any time via email or phone and our production manager Dave will be happy to get the ball rolling. We can jump on Zoom or Facetime, chat over the phone, or even grab a coffee! To be honest, a chat at a café is a nice way to connect and start the working relationship. But of course, we know you’re probably busy, so a Zoom meeting is also a great way to connect.

The initial consultation will allow the Video Production services Melbourne team to throw around ideas and workshop your concept to determine a rough budget. If we’re confident we can be of service, our crew will gladly put together a formal proposal and pricing. However, if we get the sense that we aren’t the ideal team for you, we will connect you with another production company that we think would be a better fit – pretty simple hey!

How much does video production in Melbourne cost?

The cost of video production services Melbourne will depend on the nature of your project.

It all comes down to what you want to create, but it doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg! The Rusty Cage, might bit be the lowest cost Video Production Company Melbourne has to offer, but we’re also not the most expensive you’ll come across either. We quote based on the project – not by the hour or by the number of revisions that are required. Our strategy is to work with the client to ensure that we are cost -effective, without skimping on quality. There are no sneaky additional fees at the end or hidden costs. This means you can relax without having to worry about running over time or incurring unexpected costs.

Do you handle all of the scripting and storyboarding?

In most cases, yes!

In some cases, clients have a particular vision or have an internal team that works on ideas and partners with us for execution. Depending on your internal resources and desired outcome, we can work collaboratively or independently to script and story board your idea onto the screen.

How hands on will I need to be?

That’s up to you! We are the professionals when it comes to bringing your idea to life. Along the way we will keep you in the loop and ensure that your vision is in line with the content that we’re creating – but if you’re keen to be across everything in detail, then let us know and we can design a workflow that allows that to happen.

We are passionate about working collaboratively with our clients, workshopping ideas along the way. Our goal is to create an end-product that not only makes you proud of what you do, but also content we’re stoked to share with our community too. You will have access to our Video Production Melbourne knowledge base and their extensive experience, so that we can translate your ideas into an impactful video.

How long does video production take?

The time it takes from creative development to delivering the final master will vary greatly depending on the scope of your project. Some material can be turned around within a week or two, while others can take a year of more of pre-production before we even press record! At the end of the day, it’s like asking “How long is a piece of string?” But rest assured, we will be able to work within whatever timeframe you have.

When we first talk, our Video Production Melbourne team will be able to walk your through a draft schedule, approximate budget, and the turnaround time that you can expect if we work together. We are always forward in providing an achievable timeline based on your unique project requirements. Rest assured that unlike other video production companies in Melbourne, we won’t compromise your project so we can quickly move on to someone else’s and you can trust that we won’t make promises we can’t keep. Our Video Production Melbourne team will work with you to create the best possible result within an achievable time frame.

Who owns the rights to the final video?

You do. Once the video has been finished and the final invoice has been paid, we will transfer the ownership and copyright across to you. We deliver the final product in digital format. Depending on your project and intended usage, this could mean in High Definition, 4K, or 8K. Typically, we will use a secure cloud storage transfer system to ensure that you have easy access to your videos. For these, you will receive a link to your videos which you can then choose to download or keep them securely in the cloud – it’s up to you.

Unlike other video production companies that charge for a separate licensing fee that must be renewed each year, we transfer the rights to you in their entirety so that you can use and distribute the finished project as you see fit.

Do you keep a backup of my video?

Yes. We keep duplicates of all client projects for at least of four years. This means that if something happens to your copies, such as being lost when you move offices or accidentally deleted, we will be able to replace them. If you would like us to keep a backup of your video for more than four years, you can enquire about our archive services.
