HOW WE PRICE YOUR PROJECT

Pricing

Isn’t it frustrating when you want to get a gauge of how much something costs, but you don’t know where to start? At Up&Up we aim to be as transparent as possible when it comes to pricing and the effort that’s involved in creating something of true value to you.

Production/Shoot

  • Our production phase offers flexible rates which reflect the value of our expertise rather than an hourly charge:

    Half-day - $NZD1,150 + GST

    Full-day - $NZD1,750 + GST

  • These rates are for a single operator and include the use of our owned equipment such as cameras, lighting and audio gear. Additional gear or operators will be changed on top.

  • For smaller shoots, we offer a minimum shoot rate of $NZD650 + GST. Please chat with us to see if your shot fits within this.

Of course, our pricing varies according to the scope of the project, but our cost structure is straightforward and transparent. When it comes to putting together a quote for you, we have four main areas we consider.

Auckland Photography & Video Production Pricing:

1

Planning and Permissions 

  • The groundwork for a successful shoot involves pre-production planning to ensure things run smoothly and within budget on the day.

  • This is where our time for creative development sits, so if we’re developing concepts, sourcing references, writing scripts and developing storyboards, this is where that time will go. 

  • This phase may also involve site visits to assess the space and lighting. For some shoots, we may also need to coordinate with the other suppliers, such as an audio-visual team for an event.

  • Finally, we will source the necessary paperwork and permissions to carry out your shoot legally within New Zealand. Drone usage requires airspace permissions which we arrange whilst we leave the permission with the landowner with the client typically as they often have an existing relationship. 

All time for Planning and Permissions is charged at an hourly rate of $NZD125 + GST

Post-Production

  • Shooting the job is often the easy part. The real magic comes in the post-production phase, where the final product starts to come together. This can include:

  • Photography editing and retouching (where necessary).

  • Video editing, audio syncing, colour grading and animation to bring your vision to life.

    All post-production time is charged at an hourly rate of $NZD125 + GST.

Other Costs

  • Finally, there are some costs which are required to complete the project and we pass these on without markup.

  • These might include studio hire, hair and make-up artists, props, voice-over talent, recording studios, etc. We’ll make you aware of these once we’ve reviewed your brief.

  • Each project comes with a Project Management fee, charged by the hour and we assess travel fees based on what is required for each shoot.

Our pricing is designed to be as clear and comprehensive as possible so that you can confidently plan your project without worrying over hidden fees or surprises. Each project is different so chat today us today and we can start putting some numbers around your project.
