Frequently Asked
Questions
How Long Does It Take To Produce A Video Production Project?
It takes 4-8 weeks to produce a standard brand video from Kickoff to completion. However, the actual time for producing quality video varies with respect to what’s being produced. It may take up to 8 weeks and even longer to complete depending on the complexity of production but 3 weeks is the minimum time it takes to complete. For example, it will take a longer time to produce training videos due to the final product’s length than it would to produce a highlight video of an event video production.
Do You Provide Scriptwriting, Or Do We Have To Write The Script?
The Script informs the entire project. We offer full scriptwriting and development services. We believe in collaborating with our clients in all aspects of production. Through our creative brief, e-mails, phone calls, and production meetings, we’ll learn about your business. Our clients are subject matter experts and should be ready to give us as much information and insight as possible. We learn about your business and the factors motivating production.
What If I Want To Make Changes To My Completed Video in The Future?
You are allowed to have changes made at any time during production. There will be additional costs incurred for any changes to be made after the included revisions.

How Much Does It Cost To Make A Video?
A range of factors determine production costs. These factors may include the scope of the project, scripting, concept, locations, days needed to shoot, editing time, final length, music, narration, audio mixing, etc. It’s best to consult with us and discuss the details of the production that suits your needs.
How Many Revisions Do I Get?
The approval process at Bergeron Media is well structured. After you see the rough cut and request changes, we then provide you with a final cut where you can request additional changes. So that means you have two (2) opportunities to provide feedback and to make changes to your video. You can request additional revisions during the scope approval process or during post-production for an additional fee.
Does Bergeron Media Handle An Entire Video Production Project Or Only Parts?
We can handle an entire project, we are a full-service video production company. If we aren’t needed for each phase, we also provide portions of a project such as editing footage, shooting and delivering footage, or even just shooting. We offer services a la carte.
Are There Any Hidden Costs?
Bergeron Media is a Bottom Line pricing company. Our video production proposal will be what you pay. We make sure that our clients do not get any surprises or unexpected costs on the final invoice. The only exception is in a situation where we have a scope change to the project during production, and should any additional costs arise, we’ll ensure they are approved before they get incurred by the production.
How Many People Will Be On The Film Crew When They Arrive At Our Facility?
We always work to keep our crews efficient. Crew size depends entirely on the project. It may consist of 2-5 people if the shoot requires a crew: a Director/Producer, Sound Technician, Production Assistant, and Director of Photography. Sometimes it could be just one person. Some other times, additional production personnel such as a Gaffer or Production Coordinator could be added to the production crew.
Should we have a Professional Hair And Makeup Artist?
If we are producing interview videos or a narrative video with clients and actors, it’s always a wise choice to involve a professional hair and make-up artist to make sure everyone who will be included in the video looks their absolute best. The make-up and hair specialists are here to eliminate flyaway hair, add some color to brighten a face, reduce any lingering shine, and a host of other factors. Hair and makeup will be hired at the client's discretion.
How Do I Get Started On My Video Project?
Get in touch with us through our contact page and we’ll respond to you and answer all your questions. Then we'll schedule a kickoff.
How Does The Initial Deposit Work?
For us to begin the video production process, you are required to pay a retainer for 50% of the full budget. The other 50% can be paid on a schedule during the project or when the project has been completed. This will be ironed out during our kickoff.
When is the final product delivered?
The final cut(s) of your project will be delivered via cloud link at the agreed-upon deadline and after final payment has been received.
What is the difference between Production cost and Talent and Location Cost?
The primary difference between Production Costs and Talent and Location Costs lies in their scope. Production costs cover a broad range of expenses related to the technical and logistical aspects of producing content. Talent and Location Costs are more focused, specifically related to the expenses of hiring on-screen talent and securing suitable locations for the shoot.
Both categories are integral to the budgeting process and require careful planning and management to ensure the production stays within financial limits while achieving the desired artistic and technical quality.
Equipment rentals? But don't you own your equipment?
While we do own much of our equipment, many productions require specialty equipment based on the requirements of the project. Renting provides a cost-effective method for providing top-quality production.
