In short
- Each event is quoted from its own scope, so the quote fits what you need.
- The quote follows the date, area, hours, crew, films and travel.
- A written quote lists what is included, so you can compare it line by line.
- Asking for a quote does not reserve your date.
Each event is quoted from its own scope: date, area, hours, crew, films and travel. Below is what shapes a quote and what to bring so the quote fits your event.
What shapes the quote?
| Factor | Why it matters | What to tell us |
|---|---|---|
| Date and timing | Our team’s calendar and busy dates | The date, or the month if it is not fixed |
| Area and venue | Travel, access and who can film there | The venue or town, and whether it is outstation |
| Hours of coverage | Filming time is one of the main parts of the work | When the programme starts and ends |
| Crew | One operator or several, together or in different rooms | Whether things happen at the same time |
| Films | A highlight film, full recordings and short clips each need different editing | The films you want, or “not sure” |
| Extras | Livestream, same-day edit, drone, captions or translation | Anything you are considering |
Extras are available on request, and we confirm what is possible for your date before they go into the quote.
What does a written quote list?
You see the coverage hours, the crew, the films you receive, how many review rounds are included, travel, and how the files are delivered. This makes it easy to check what you are paying for. The booking scope checklist shows what a clear scope covers.
How do you read price figures you see online?
Figures on other websites and in videos are only comparable when three things match. Check them before you compare any number with a quote.
- Currency. Confirm whether the figure is in ringgit or another currency, and whether tax is included.
- Unit. A price per hour, per half day, per day or per finished film are different things. Convert them to the same unit first, using your own programme hours.
- Type of job. A figure for a one-day event is not a figure for a brand or promotional film, which needs scripting, planning and a longer edit.
Ask what is inside each figure: crew size, hours, films, review rounds and travel. The quote comparison worksheet lays this out in one table.
How can you plan your budget before asking?
Work out a range of your own first. The event video budget worksheet helps you set a figure, and the coverage and overtime calculator shows how extra hours add up. For an event outside your own town, the outstation filming budget worksheet covers travel. Our guide to understanding and controlling video costs explains the trade-offs in more depth.
What happens when you ask for a quote?
Send the details on the enquiry page. We ask a few questions, suggest coverage, then send a written quote. The whole sequence is in how an enquiry and booking work. If you are still deciding what to ask for, see our event video services.
Send the event type, a rough date and the area, and we ask for the rest. A written quote follows once the scope is clear.
