Cost calculator
Choose a format, define the scope, tick the extras – the calculator shows you a realistic price range live, based on 28 real ROCC Film quotes (2025/26). All prices net. Not a binding offer, but a solid guide for your budget.
Methodology
No made-up numbers: every range in the calculator is derived from real ROCC Film quotes. We deliberately show ranges instead of false precision – the final price depends on the shoot days, team and post-production of your specific project.
Budget tips
No generic budgeting blah-blah. This comes straight from our daily work.
Not every problem needs a corporate film. Sometimes three good social clips are enough. Those who know their goal don't spend money on the wrong format.
Short-notice productions cost more. Crew and locations are more expensive when everything has to happen quickly. 4-6 weeks' lead time saves real money.
Three films over two shooting days are more efficient than three separate productions. Same crew, same equipment, less setup and teardown. Content packages exist for exactly this.
Professional actors cost a fee plus buyout. Your own people are more authentic and less expensive. We make sure they come across well on camera.
Cutting a 9:16 reel from a 16:9 film afterwards works, but it is more expensive. If you plan social versions from the outset, you shoot for them from the start.
The clearer your feedback in the revision loops, the faster the film is finished. Unclear feedback costs time and therefore money. Say what bothers you. Directly.

No — the calculator gives you a realistic estimate, not a quote. The final price is set in a conversation once your project's goal, shoot days, and scope are clear. After that, you'll get a concrete quote with a clear breakdown — no hidden costs.
Video productions are a business service, so as is standard in the industry, we calculate net prices, i.e. plus statutory VAT. For your budget planning, that means: gross amount = net price plus VAT.
The four biggest cost drivers are shoot days, team size, post-production, and performers along with their rights. Every additional shoot day means more crew, more equipment, and more logistics. In post-production, sound design, animation, and additional edit versions drive up costs.
Bundle your shoot days: three films across two shoot days are cheaper than three separate productions. Use real employees instead of hired actors, plan 4-6 weeks of lead time, and factor in social formats from the start — 9:16 cuts added later cost more.
