A 2-3 minute corporate film starts at €3,500 excl. tax at ONEPROD, with an average timeline of 4 to 8 weeks from brief to delivery. These are the two questions that come up first in almost every conversation — and the two that vary the most from one project to the next. Here's how, in practical terms.
What makes the price of a corporate film vary
Three factors drive most of a quote: the length and complexity of the format, the number of shooting days, and the scope of post-production. A 2-3 minute film shot in a single day, with straightforward editing and color grading, sits at the lower end — starting at €3,500 excl. tax. A longer format, a multi-day or multi-location shoot, or heavier post-production (motion design, complex grading, advanced sound mixing) push the budget up accordingly.
There's no fixed rate per format: every project gets a personalised quote, built from the brief. The same applies to executive production on its own — location scouting, logistics coordination, local crew — billed by the day from €1,200 excl. tax, a different model from a fully delivered film.
One distinction worth making : a corporate or institutional film isn't a brand film. The former presents an organisation as a whole; the latter tells a story built around what sets it apart, with a stronger narrative intent. The pricing logic is similar but not identical — our page on brand films goes into that distinction.
The timeline, stage by stage
Allow 4 to 8 weeks on average from brief to delivery for a 2-5 minute film. That timeline breaks down into three phases, each with its own pace — the first isn't visible on screen yet, the second happens in a day, and the third takes the longest without asking much of the client beyond timely feedback.
Creative development — 1-2 weeks
Understanding the subject before writing anything: this is the most decisive phase, even though it produces no footage yet. A clear brief and quick turnaround on the creative proposal naturally shorten this step.
Filming — 1-2 days
Duration depends on the number of locations, people involved, and shots to capture. A simple film on a single location shoots in a day. Multiple locations or several people to interview stretch it to two.
Post-production — 2-4 weeks
Editing, color grading, sound, revisions: this phase carries most of the invisible work. Timelines vary depending on complexity and urgency. For an urgent shoot, we can move faster depending on availability — but a realistic schedule from the start is always preferable to a compressed one that costs the final quality.
What's included in the base rate
An ONEPROD quote generally includes 2 rounds of revisions after the first edited version (the assembly cut). Each round is discussed through structured written feedback, to avoid vague back-and-forth. Revisions beyond that are billed by time spent — which is why we invest time upfront, in the brief and creative development, rather than fixing things after the edit is done.
Before any commitment, the process is the same for every project: a 30-minute discovery call, then a creative proposal and a detailed quote within 5 business days. You know what's included before signing anything. Our FAQ covers the rest of these answers, including delivery formats and shooting resolution.
When a custom quote is needed
All our quotes are personalised, but some contexts call for a different framing. For communication agencies and creative studios who bring us on as an execution partner, we offer a quote within 48 hours based on their brief, with a single point of contact from the shoot to delivery.
For non-profits, independent artists and small organisations, we adapt the approach to tight budgets without compromising on image quality or narrative care. We're honest about what's achievable within a given budget — and we won't take on a project if the budget doesn't allow us to do it properly.
A concrete example: the film for L'Empreinte Restaurant, a two-minute corporate format built around the venue's identity, illustrates well what an entry-level project in this category covers.
Every film remains a specific case — these figures are reference points, not an automatic rate. A tight budget doesn't rule out a good film; neither does a tight schedule, as long as it's set honestly from the start rather than discovered along the way. The clearest way to get an accurate number is still the most direct one: describe the project, and get a proposal built around it rather than a generic package. If you have a project in mind, the simplest next step is to talk it through directly: you'll get a realistic range from the first conversation.
