Read the answerHOW WE SCOPE & PRICE
Budget follows scope, not vibes.
Most video pricing is either too vague to be useful or too simplified to be honest. We do neither. We use real ranges and real scope logic. Starter projects usually fall around $2.5K-$7.5K. Growth projects usually fall around $8K-$18K. Campaign work usually starts around $20K and climbs with complexity.
THE FOOTPRINT
One location and a lean crew is one machine. Multi-location shoots, travel, talent, and bigger production demands are another.
THE STORY WORK
Clear strategy, scripting, interview shaping, and stronger pre-production protect the budget and make the work hit harder.
THE EDIT WEIGHT
One finished cut is one budget. A hero film plus cutdowns, captions, motion, and channel-specific versions is another.
THE TIMELINE
Rush timelines usually cost more because the whole machine has to move faster across planning, production, approvals, and post.
RIGHT FIT
When SALT is the right fit.
We are strongest when the video has a real job: launch the campaign, explain the product, capture the event, help candidates believe the culture, or give a team proof they can use for months.
MAY NOT BE THE FIT
We may not be the right partner if you only need the cheapest shoot day, a raw camera operator, or a pile of footage with no strategy, edit plan, audience, or rollout.
EVERY CLIENT GETS
What every client gets, no matter the lane.
01
A CLEAR STORY BEFORE WE SHOOT
We do not start with gear. We start with the audience, the ask, and the shift you want the work to create.
02
A LEAN CREW THAT KNOWS WHAT IT IS DOING
Small enough to stay nimble. Sharp enough to make the day feel calm. No circus. No ego.
03
CUTS BUILT FOR REAL USE
Hero film, cutdowns, paid placements, recruiting pages, sales decks, social. We plan for where the work has to live, not just how it premieres.
