Cost structure
Where does your budget go?
- 01Step
Concept and pre-production · ~15%
Strategic consultation, screenplay, storyboard, location scouting, casting, logistics. The phase that makes the difference between a good and a great film.
- 02Step
Filming · ~50%
The largest cost block: directing, cinematography, lighting, sound, possibly actors, location fees, catering. Every shooting day costs – but every shooting day produces images that no stock footage can replace.
- 03Step
Post-production · ~30 %
Editing, colour grading, sound design, music, possibly motion graphics or VFX. This is where raw material becomes a film that conveys emotion.
- 04Step
Music and licenses · ~5%
Professionally licensed music or composed original tracks. The difference between a film that works – and one that moves you.
What influences the price of a brand film
Four cost areas determine the price of a brand film. The distribution shifts depending on the concept – but the structure always remains transparent.
Shooting days are the biggest lever
A shooting day typically costs between 3,000 and 8,000 € – depending on team size and equipment. A documentary brand film with real employees at your own premises often needs just one day. A cinematically staged brand film with actors, multiple locations, and elaborate lighting requires three to five.
Documentary or scripted?
The documentary approach shows your company as it is. Real employees on camera, real workflows, real atmosphere. The scripted approach tells a staged story with actors and dramaturgy. More elaborate, more expensive – but with an emotional impact that a documentary film rarely achieves.
For most SMEs and mid-sized companies, the documentary brand film is the better starting point. Authentic, affordable, and finished in 4–6 weeks.
Team size and equipment
A lean team (director, camera, sound) is sufficient for many documentary productions. As soon as you need more elaborate lighting, steadicam, drone shots, or set design, the team grows – and so does the budget.
Post-production: where the film is made
Picture and sound editing is the foundation. Colour grading gives the film its visual character. Sound design and music create the emotional layer. Motion graphics, 2D animations, or VFX are optional – but they can make complex content understandable where images alone are not enough.
Brand film vs. other film formats
Not every company needs a brand film. Sometimes a different format is the better investment.
| Format | Typical costs | Duration | Best use case |
|---|---|---|---|
| Image Film | 8,000 – 35,000 € | 1–4 min. | Brand positioning, website, trade shows, sales |
| Recruiting Films | 8,000 – 20,000 € | 1–3 min. | Talent acquisition, careers page, job boards |
| Explainer Videos | 3,000 – 15,000 € | 60–180 sec. | Explain complex products/services |
| Commercials | 10,000 – 50,000 € | 15–60 sec. | Campaigns, social ads, YouTube pre-rolls |
| Social media content | 2,000 – 8,000 € | 15–60 sec. | Ongoing content for Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn |
| Event Film | from €3,000 | 1–3 min. | Trade shows, conferences, company events, aftermovies |
Does a brand film pay off?
A brand film is not a cost item. It is an asset that works for 3–5 years – on your website, in presentations, at trade shows, on social media, in sales.

Why brand film costs work differently at ROCC Film
We are not an agency with overhead that needs to pass through three hierarchical levels before filming begins. And we are not a one-man operation doing everything alone. We are a well-established team with over 20 years of experience – small enough for personal attention, large enough for professional results.
What this means concretely for your budget
No account manager reformulating briefs. With us you speak directly with the makers – the people who write your screenplay, direct, and finalize the edit. This saves time, avoids misunderstandings, and makes the process more efficient.
Our founder Christian Martin Schäfer brings a rare combination: experience as an actor, director, and producer. This pays off especially in brand films where real employees stand in front of the camera. Because the biggest challenge of a brand film is not the technology – but making people look natural and charming.
100% customer satisfaction. Not as a marketing cliché, but verifiable: on Clutch, Google and ProvenExpert. Every single review: 5 stars.

Frequently Asked Questions
What customers ask us most often
A professional brand film costs between 8,000 and 35,000 euros net. The price depends on the scope of the concept, number of shooting days, team size, and scope of post-production. At ROCC Film you receive a transparent, modular quote before the project starts – so you know exactly what you are paying for.
With us, a brand film is always full service: strategic consultation, concept development, screenplay and storyboard, location scouting, casting (when needed), professional filming with directing, camera, lighting and sound, post-production with editing, colour grading and sound design, licensed music, and feedback rounds through to final delivery. All usage rights included.
The total production time is typically 4 to 8 weeks. Of this, 1–2 weeks are spent on concept and pre-production, 1–3 shooting days, and 2–4 weeks on post-production including feedback rounds.
Yes. If you spread an investment of e.g. 12,000 € over a usage period of 3–5 years, the monthly cost is 200–330 €. This makes a brand film less expensive than most ongoing advertising measures.
