Check out the quote items for a corporate film, the deliverables and the choices that make the budget vary. Available on our Tariffs page.
Introduction
A pricing guide helps you understand the level of investment. A quote then defines the exact scope: the people and locations to film, the sequences to produce and the files to deliver.
A price without a description of the deliverables is therefore not sufficient to compare two proposals.
Because producing a corporate video is not ordering a hamburger. It is not a standardized product that comes out of a machine. It is a tailor-made project, with different stakes, different formats, different ambitions. And of course, different budgets.
You can find the price ranges on our Pricing page. This article explains the items in a quote, what you are paying for and the choices that help tailor production to your needs.
Why there is no “standard price” for a corporate video
If you have already requested quotes from several agencies, you have found discrepancies. They must be examined with comparable scope: preparation, shooting, post-production, rights and versions.
This is because a corporate video is not a single object.
Asking “how much does a video cost?” is a bit like asking “how much does a car cost?” Well… it depends. A Twingo or a Tesla? New or used? With or without options? To drive in town or cross the Sahara?
For a corporate video, it’s the same. The price will depend on:
- Duration: 30 seconds or 5 minutes is not the same job
- The format: motion design, interview, report, product video, event teaser…
- Technical complexity: how many shots, shooting locations, people to film, animations to create
- The level of finish: colour grading, sound design, subtitles, adapted versions
- Strategic support: Are we just delivering you a video, or are we building with you all the narration, the message, the broadcast?
And there, we do not even talk about the quality of the team, its experience, its ability to understand your business issues.
In short: the price of a corporate video is the sum of dozens of micro-decisions.
The real factors that make your budget skyrocket (or shrink)
Let’s be direct: some choices increase the bill exponentially. Others, on the contrary, make it possible to produce something high-quality without breaking the bank.
Here are the main levers you can control:
Filming: simple or ambitious?
A shoot is a day (or several) when a team mobilizes. The more complex this day is, the more expensive it is.
This increases the cost:
- Several filming locations in the same day (movements, scouting, authorizations)
- A wide technical team (manager, sound taker, lighting engineer, assistant, stage manager…)
- High-end equipment (cinema camera, drone, steadicam, pro lighting)
- Multiple stakeholders to coordinate (customers, collaborators, experts)
- An elaborate staging (decorations, accessories, artistic direction)
Which reduces the cost:
- Only one location, well prepared
- A small but effective team
- A clear brief and speakers available and prepared
- A simple, authentic, well framed interview format
We at home Biux, we always prefer the substance to the esbroufe. A sober but well thought out corporate video will always be better than a flashy but hollow shoot.
Le film Accor D&TS directed by Biux presents a company and the people who incarnate. It helps identify the sequences to prepare in a corporate film; its presence here does not reveal the budget of the project.
Motion Design: Fast or Custom?
Motion design is the other big family of corporate video. Perfect for explaining a complex concept, valuing data, or creating a graphic universe that is consistent with your identity.
It all depends on the level of personalization.
A video on motion 2D design from 60 to 90 seconds combines writing, graphic direction and animation. The production time is 15 days after storyboard approval.
A 3D motion design video takes 3 to 5 weeks. Modelling and animation define a different scope of 2D production.
The question to ask yourself: do you need to assert your visual identity in a strong way? Or just send a clear message?
Post-production: neat or “just right”?
Many underestimate this step. But that’s where everything is played out.
Editing is the moment when you structure the story, create rhythm, add emotion. colour grading gives an atmosphere, a visual signature. The sound design (music, voice-over, sound effects) reinforces the impact.
A “standard” post-production: Classical editing, some transitions, royalty-free music, basic subtitles. It does the job, but it doesn’t make a difference.
A “premium” post-production: Punctuated and worked editing, cinema colour grading, custom sound design, integrated graphic animations, versions (square, vertical, different durations for each platform).
Again, it all depends on your goals. If your corporate video is meant to be the pillar of your content strategy for 6 months, investing in a neat post-production is profitable. If it is for occasional or internal use, it can be lightened.
Price ranges according to company video formats
Okay, enough theory. Concretely, what does it give in euros?
Video interview and customer testimonial: two scope
In these formats, a person speaks face-to-face camera, then the editing organizes his comments with illustrations and subtitles. The preparation of a witness client and the interview device are specified in the estimate.
What makes the price vary:
- Number of speakers
- Technical quality (light, sound, decor)
- Duration of the final video
- Accompaniment to the preparation (brief, rehearsals)
Corporate film and institutional film: two separate offers
Corporate film and institutional film present the company, its role or know-how with on-site images, interviews and graphics. The brief determines the audience and the message, then the estimate specifies the device.
What makes the price vary:
- Number of days of shooting
- Number of places
- Complexity of storytelling
- Level of graphic finish
For this scope, the guide to institutional film pricing details the cost items to compare and the Biux price ranges.
Le Storm Reply film produced by Biux constitutes another corporate presentation reference. Compare the images, the actors and the structure of the story to define your own scope, without deducting a price from the duration of the film alone.
SaaS demonstration video
The 90-second SaaS Biux demonstration presents software and its uses; the scenario and interface sequences make the features understandable to the target audience. The schedule is specified in the estimate according to the planned shots and animation.
What makes the price vary:
- Complexity of the product to be explained
- Level of Motion Design
- Duration and variations (short version for networks, long version for the site)
Personal branding: ten videos
The personal branding Biux pack includes ten videos. It relates to personal statements in capsules with subtitles. This scope does not designate a generic offer for all social media videos.
What makes the price vary:
- Original production or reuse of existing images
- Number of videos produced (series or one-shot)
- Level of editing and animation
Social media video subscription
The video subscription social networks Biux previews 4 to 8 clips per month. This recurring device is distinct from the 10-video personal branding package; its calendar and formats are defined within the subscription scope.
What makes the price vary:
- Volume of production
- Formats (short, long, mixed)
- Strategic support included or not

What you really pay for (and what should be included)
Because beyond the numbers, you have to understand what makes up a healthy corporate video budget.
Before filming: the strategy
A good agency doesn’t just “film nicely”. She asks you the right questions:
- What is the purpose of this video? (brand awareness, acquisition, credibility?)
- Who is your target? (Leaders, HR, B2B prospects?)
- Where will the video be shown? (LinkedIn, website, show, email?)
- What key message do you want to convey?
This upstream work is what makes the difference between a corporate video that is “pretty” and a video that generates results.
During filming: efficiency
A well-prepared shoot is a shoot that does not exceed the budget. We arrive with a precise plan, we know what we are filming, in what order, with whom. We’re not wasting time. The same sequence was not repeated three times because no one had briefed the speaker.
We consider that a pro shoot is a shoot where the team is small but ultra-competent, where the equipment is adapted (not too much, not too little), and where everyone knows exactly what he is doing.
Le film A4 Concept directed by Biux presents real estate know-how. It illustrates the importance of places and illustration plans in the preparation of a shoot, then in the construction of the montage.
After the filming: the broadcast
Many companies make the mistake of stopping on delivery: the content is produced, but no one has planned its integration into the site, its sending to the commercials or its publications.
Without a broadcasting device, the use of the film remains limited and its commercial interest becomes difficult to measure.
We accompany our customers until the broadcast. We optimize formats, advise on publishing strategies, create variations adapted to each channel. Because a corporate video is not a trophy that is stored in a drawer. It’s a marketing asset that needs to work for you. According to Wyzowl (2025)87% of marketers say video has enabled them to generate leads.

How to properly prepare your video budget (without being fooled)
Here are some concrete tips to make sure you’re not wrong:
Set your priorities before asking for quotes. Want a corporate video to exist on LinkedIn? To pitch your box to investors? To recruit? According to the answer, the production choices will not be the same.
Compare comparable benefits. Two quotes of the same amount may cover different deliverables and accompaniment. Compare responsibilities, means of shooting and versions rather than the total.
Identify possible field changes. A new location, an additional version or a change of brief will result in a different job. Ask how these requests are encrypted and validated before they are completed.
Invest where it counts. Rather than betting on one big shoot per year, consider a series of more modest but regular content. On LinkedIn, consistency beats perfection.
Focus on ROI-speaking agencies, not just aesthetics. A beautiful video that generates nothing is waste. A serious agency must tell you about objectives, KPI, dissemination strategy. Not just “cinema shots” and “natural light.” Forbes Confirms that companies that use video grow 49% faster in terms of revenue than those that don’t.
What we remember: the right price is the one that generates results
We could summarize this article in one sentence: there is no good or bad budget for a corporate video. There are budgets that are consistent with your goals… and budgets that are not.
Chez BiuxWe don’t sell video to sell video. We build video content strategies that serve business objectives: visibility, credibility, acquisition. In a context where the video represents 82% of global internet traffic According to Cisco, the question is no longer whether you should do it, but how.
Before holding an amount, define what the film must show and how it will be used: the estimate encrypts these choices, not a promise of automatic results.

FAQ
How much does a corporate video at Biux cost?
The estimate of a corporate film describes the company’s presentation device. The locations, stakeholders, necessary images and final versions vary the work. It must not be cut into standard offers invented.
How long does it take to deliver the corporate movie?
Biux plans 15 days after filming for the corporate film. The preparation precedes this deadline and organizes the briefing, locations, speakers and shootings. Indicate your release deadline from the start to build the production schedule and validation steps around this date.
What does the price of a corporate film include?
The corporate offer combines shooting, interviews, editing, graphics and music. The estimate shall specify the means used, the persons filmed and the versions to be delivered. Also check returns and user fees. The purchase of advertising space and broadcasting services are separate items, which are not deducted from the production price alone.
Does an institutional film cost the same price?
No. The public, message and device must be defined prior to the estimate. These offers are compared by their scope, not only by their designation.
How to reduce the budget without impoverishing the message?
Prepare the speakers, gather the compatible shots and choose the places that are really useful to the story. A precise brief avoids late discovery of necessary sequences. Also prioritize the final versions: it is better to order the variations corresponding to real uses than to multiply the files without a broadcast schedule.
How to compare two quotes of corporate video?
First compare the same deliverables: main film, short versions, languages, formats and rights. Then examine the filming, preparation, editing and returns included. Ask who controls validations and how a field change is processed. An identical total can correspond to very different responsibilities and files delivered.
