How Much Does Corporate
Video Production Cost
in the Philippines?

One of the first questions we get from new clients is: "How much will this cost?" It's a fair question — and one that's surprisingly hard to Google in the Philippine context. Most results are either too vague, too outdated, or written for US audiences with prices that have nothing to do with Metro Manila.

We've been producing corporate videos in the Philippines since 2003. In that time, we've quoted everything from a simple 60-second social media clip to multi-day TVC campaigns with full crews. This guide is our attempt to give you an honest, practical breakdown of what corporate video production actually costs in the Philippines today.

What Affects the Price?

Before we get to numbers, it helps to understand what actually drives production costs. Unlike printing a flyer or designing a logo, video production involves multiple moving parts — each with its own cost.

1. Pre-Production (Before the Camera Turns On)

This is the planning phase — scriptwriting, storyboarding, casting, location scouting, and logistics. Many clients underestimate this. A well-written script and a clear storyboard can save you an entire shoot day. If you come to a production house with no brief, expect to pay more. If you come with a clear vision, you'll save both time and money.

2. Shoot Days and Crew Size

A single shoot day with a 3-person crew (director, camera, audio) looks very different from a 2-day shoot with 10 people, multiple cameras, a stylist, and a location manager. Every additional day, every additional crew member, and every additional piece of equipment adds to the total. Outdoor locations often require permits. Tight deadlines require overtime.

3. Talent

Professional on-camera talent — hosts, actors, voice-over artists — adds cost but also adds credibility. A well-spoken host who doesn't need 20 takes saves production time. Filipino talent rates vary widely: a basic voice-over starts at around ₱8,000–12,000, while a well-known on-camera host can cost ₱30,000–80,000 per day.

4. Post-Production

This is where a lot of the magic — and cost — happens. Editing, color grading, motion graphics, sound design, and music licensing all fall here. A basic edit of existing footage is very different from a fully animated explainer with custom 3D elements. The more complex the post, the longer it takes, and the more it costs.

5. Special Equipment

Drone footage, teleprompters, specialized lighting rigs, underwater housings, high-speed cameras — all of these add cost. Most clients don't need all of this, but knowing they exist helps you understand where line items come from.

Philippine Video Production Price Guide 2026

Below is a realistic breakdown of what you can expect to pay from a professional production house in Metro Manila. These are starting rates — final quotes depend on your specific brief.

What Does a ₱75,000 Corporate Video Get You?

Let's use our Standard package as an example. For ₱75,000, a professional production house in Metro Manila should be able to deliver:

• A 1–2 minute brand or AVP video
• One full production shoot day with a proper crew
• Scriptwriting and basic storyboard
• Minimal motion graphics and titles
• Professional voice-over in English
• Licensed background music
• 3 rounds of revisions
• Final delivery in 4K and web formats

This is a solid, professional video that works for company profiles, product introductions, website hero videos, or investor presentations.

Hidden Costs to Watch Out For

Some production houses quote low and then add costs later. Here's what to clarify upfront:

Location Fees and Permits

Shooting in malls, public spaces, or private properties often requires permits. Some locations charge ₱5,000–30,000 per day. Always ask your production house if location fees are included in the quote.

Talent Fees

If the quote doesn't mention talent, assume it's not included. Voice-over, on-camera hosts, and actors are often quoted separately.

Revisions

Some houses include 1–2 revisions then charge per change after that. Clarify how many revision rounds are included and what "one revision" means — is it minor tweaks or a major re-edit?

Raw Footage

You may assume you own all the raw footage. Not always the case. Ask upfront if raw files are included in the deliverables.

Rush Fees

Need the video in 3 days? Expect a 20–40% premium on the standard rate. Good production takes time. Rushing it costs more and often shows in the final output.

Why Work with a Full-Service Agency?

When it comes to corporate video, the quality of the output reflects directly on your brand. Here's what a professional production house brings to the table that matters.

A Team Behind Every Project

A production agency brings a dedicated team — director, camera operators, audio engineer, editor, and project manager — all working together. If something goes wrong on shoot day, there's a team to solve it. You have one point of contact, clear accountability, and no surprises at delivery.

In-House Post-Production

Color grading, motion graphics, sound design, and music licensing all happen under one roof. This means faster turnaround, consistent quality, and no miscommunication between separate teams. For corporate content that represents your brand — to clients, investors, or the public — this consistency matters.

Experience Across Industries

A production house that has worked across FMCG, real estate, banking, and events brings pattern recognition that's hard to replace. They know what works, what doesn't, and how to get the most out of your budget. That experience is built into every project — not just the equipment.

AI Video — A Game-Changer for Smaller Budgets

One option worth knowing about is AI-assisted video production. In 2026, AI video tools have matured to the point where a 15-second product or brand video can be produced for ₱35,000–65,000 — with consistent character and product visuals, audio-synced motion, and hooks designed for social media performance.

This doesn't replace traditional production for prestige campaigns or TVCs. But for social media content, product launches, or brands that need volume at speed, AI video is now a genuinely viable option — especially when directed by experienced producers who know what works.

How to Get an Accurate Quote

The fastest way to get an accurate quote is to come prepared with answers to these five questions:

1. What is the video for? (Website, social media, investor presentation, broadcast, event)
2. How long should it be? (15 secs, 1 min, 3–5 mins)
3. Do you have a script or brief already?
4. When do you need it? (Timeline affects cost)
5. What is your approximate budget? (Helps the production house tailor their proposal)

The more clarity you bring to that first conversation, the faster you'll get a realistic quote — and the more likely the final video will hit the mark.
