People often wonder why videography costs what it does, and that’s a valid question.
You’re not just paying for a camera or the time on set-you’re paying for the experience behind it, the preparation before filming, and the hours of editing afterward. In other words, it’s not only the final video, but the full process: planning, production, post-production, and responsibility for the result.
From the outside, pricing can seem unclear because every project is different. It depends on the scope, the goals, and the level of work involved.
Some projects are straightforward. Others require detailed planning, filming across multiple setups, extensive editing, and several final deliverables.
Different types of work-events, social content, photography, and commercial video-all require different approaches, which is why there’s no universal price.
As a general starting point:
• Shooting rate - 500 aed/hour
• Editing starts from 300 aed / short reel
The main focus is always to match the right solution to what you’re trying to achieve.
