Grace ArceoLead Sales Agent – Mulpha Sanctuary Cove
I couldn't recommend Bordertown Films highly enough. They took away all of the stress and uncertainty I've felt working with film crews before and both Dan and Jacqui are genuinely lovely people. I can't wait to work with them again!
Chloe WallentAccount Manager – Tailored Media
I recently worked with Jac and Dan to film my first online course. They were highly professional at all stages of filming. Being the first time I had worked with a film crew, I was unsure about the process and how to prepare. Jac and Dan's exceptional attention to detail made it easy and their easy going approach made me feel comfortable. I actually had fun doing it!
Sarah MitchellDirector - Inspired Education Services
Dan, Jacquie and the rest of the team at Bordertown Films are consummate professionals. As a marketing manager at a major sports training facility, I had the pleasure of working with them on a number of occasions to create video content for our website, social media and cinema advertising. Every single time they understood what we wanted, nailed the brief, and the finished product was of the highest production value. And they're great people to boot... Highly recommend!
Matt ThomasSenior Account Manager – Promedia

Chad CroftInt’l Sales Manager - Tangalooma Island Resort

FAQ's

I’m not really sure what I need yet, can I call for a chat?

Of course! Sometimes it’s good just to talk through some ideas. You might even find out you don’t absolutely need a video at this point! Perhaps you’re better off putting the money towards some SEO or Facebook ads for the moment. Don’t worry, we
know what it’s like to be a small business, you need to make every dollar count, and
we’ll make sure you get the right advice that suits you.

How much does a video cost?

Videos come in all shapes and sizes and are costed accordingly. Some simple
property videos can cost as little as $600, while high end TV commercials can cost
tens of thousands. As a ballpark though, most mid-range videos cost between $5-10
thousand. However the thing to note is, we’re always willing to work within your
budget. We can help make suggestions ensuring you get the most bang for your
buck. If you’d like a more in depth exploration on how much videos cost have a look
our blogpost here.

How long does a video take to produce?

While we can produce videos in a few days if needed, usually allow for around 3-4
weeks from the first phone call to final video delivery. However depending on what
type of video, the length of time may vary. Larger productions that involve scripts and
talents typically take longer because we need to ensure our clients are 100% happy
before we head into shoot.

How long does it take to shoot?

Going on shoot is where all the action happens, it’s when we rock up to location with
our cameras, lights and crew. While some videos can take days to shoot, typical
shoots usually go for 1 day.

What is the process for making a video?

Any production, whether it is a corporate video, TV commercial, TV show or movie, can be broken down into 3 distinctive periods: Pre-Production, Production and Post-Production.

Pre-Production

The process before the shoot day is known as Pre-Production and is a crucial stage because it’s where we help our clients craft their story and decide on the look and feel of the video. It’s where we decide on the concept: what do we want to say? What’s at the core of the story? It’s where we decide what talents to use. Are they going to be internal staff or hired actors? What are they going to be wearing? What are they going to say? Where are we going to shoot? This is really important to lock down before the shoot day because that’s where most of the budget is spent, on the equipment, cast and crew.

Production

You’ve decided on the style, locked down the script, chosen your talent, decided on the location and prayed for good weather, now the big day comes where you marshal the troops and head into shoot. Being on set really is a magical experience. There’s a crackle in the atmosphere when the cameras roll, it’s where all the effort in pre-production pays off and you see your ideas come to life.

Post-Production

This is where our editors sit down with the hours of raw footage, sift through the bloopers and craft the story. It’s where we select the most beautiful shots, find the moments, the best soundbites and put it to music. We then come down to your office with some bags of popcorn, dim the lights and show you the masterpiece. Of course, it’s not done yet. You may prefer a different music track or a different soundbite, we’ll work with you until it’s something you absolutely love.
