The process for creating a promo video follows a linear flow similar to most other video productions — from Pre-Production, to Production, and through Post-Production:
- Know your target audience and define key messaging.

- Whenever possible, Invest in the creation of storyboards.
- Find the ideal filming location(s) and cast onscreen or voice talent.

Companies which are a good fit to retain Richter Studios have a deep affinity for creative excellence. We seek to build lasting partnerships that inspire powerful videos which fuel your success. A single, well-designed video developed by our creative team holds the potential to move mountains.
How Long Does It Take To Produce A Video?
Videos can be developed in as little as 3 weeks. However, to maximize your video's cinematic potential, we recommend a more practical schedule. This often depends on the style of the video production that you'd like to pursue. B2B corporate videos featuring interviews and custom B-Roll footage typically take 4-6 weeks. Larger productions — like brand films or commercials — can take 8-12 weeks due to the more extensive planning typically involved.
How Much Does It Cost To Produce A Video?
Videos start for as little as $10K. Productions that require custom filming — like company profile videos, recruitment videos or product launch videos — typically begin around $20K. Larger productions — like brand films or commercials — which require multiple days of filming, aerial cinematography, talent casting, location sourcing, or sophisticated animations often range between $50K to $100K. If you have an established budget, we can also work backwards to find the creative approach that's right for you. Repeat clients enjoy more flexible rates and priority scheduling.
