How much does professional video production cost?

Pricing varies depending on project scope, amount of filming, length of the video, style, location, among many other factors. Contact us for a free quote. Most projects for non-profits start around $7,500.. Most projects for corporate partners begin around $10,000.

Do you travel for video shoots outside Portland?

How long does it take to complete a video project?

How do I get started with a project?

Just reach out by phone, email, or our website contact form. We’ll set up a consultation to learn about your goals and recommend the best approach.

Will I own the final video and can I use it on any platform?

Yes, you’ll receive full rights to your finished video, ready for use on your website, social media, YouTube, or anywhere else you need.

Will AI replace video production?

AI is transforming many parts of the video production process, from editing to animation and even scriptwriting. However, professional video production is still all about creative vision, storytelling, and human collaboration—things that AI can assist with, but not fully replace. The best results come when talented filmmakers use AI as a tool, not a substitute for experience, artistry, or the unique human touch.

Is video production the same as video editing?

No, video production and video editing are related but not the same. Video production is the entire process of creating a video, which includes planning, filming, directing, lighting, sound, and more. Video editing is one step in that process—it's where raw footage is assembled, enhanced, and polished into a final story. Think of production as everything from idea to finished video, with editing as one crucial part in the middle.

How much does drone photography cost?

Drone photography pricing depends on factors like project location, flight time, image or video requirements, and any special permits needed. Reach out with your project details, and we’ll provide a custom quote to match your needs.

Why is drone photo and videography best for construction?

Drone photo and videography provide a unique aerial perspective that’s perfect for tracking construction progress, site mapping, safety inspections, and marketing. Drones capture high-resolution images and videos from angles that are impossible or costly to achieve otherwise—helping you document each phase, share updates with stakeholders, and spot issues early, all while saving time and money compared to traditional methods.

What is avatar creation?

Avatar creation is the process of designing digital versions of people or characters—using video, animation, or AI—to represent individuals or brands in videos, virtual events, training modules, or marketing campaigns. At Portland Video Production, we use state-of-the-art tools to craft custom avatars that capture your unique look, voice, and message, making your content interactive, modern, and memorable. Click here to see our AI video services.

How can I benefit from custom avatars?

Custom avatars let you share your message in creative ways—whether it’s a virtual spokesperson, explainer videos, e-learning, or social media. With avatars from Portland Video Production, you can expand your reach, boost engagement, and stay on the cutting edge of visual communication. Avatars can save you time (no need to be on camera for every update), add a fun tech-forward touch to your brand, and help you connect with audiences on any platform. Click here to see our AI video services.

How can AI be used in video production?

AI can be used in video production to automate tasks like scriptwriting, voiceover narration, editing, subtitling, and even avatar-based performance. It accelerates workflows and reduces costs while opening creative possibilities, such as multilingual video delivery or dynamic personalization.

​

At Portland Video Production Company, we integrate AI into key parts of the process—like generating avatar-led videos or localizing content in 140+ languages—so you get premium videos faster, without sacrificing creativity or strategy. Click here to see our AI video services.

Will AI replace video production?

AI won’t replace video production—it’s transforming it. While AI tools can automate certain elements, they still rely on human creativity, storytelling, and strategy to make content that connects.

​

At Portland Video Production Company, we use AI to enhance, not replace, the production process. You get the speed and scale of AI combined with our hands-on direction, high-end visuals, and deep marketing insight. Click here to see our AI video services.

Will AI replace video editors?

AI is making video editing faster and more efficient by automating cuts, transitions, and effects. However, great editing still requires a creative human touch—especially when it comes to story flow, pacing, and emotion.

​

That’s why our editors at Portland Video Production Company use AI as a helpful tool, not a substitute. It speeds things up, but real pros still craft the final cut to meet your goals and brand tone. Click here to see our AI video services.

Where can I create AI videos?

You can create AI videos through platforms that offer avatar generation, text-to-speech, and automated visuals. But many of these tools still require time, skill, and creative direction to produce high-quality results.

 

At Portland Video Production Company, we handle the entire process for you. From scripting and avatar customization to voiceover and multilingual exports, we deliver AI-powered videos that are polished, strategic, and on-brand—without you having to lift a finger. Click here to see our AI video services.

How do AI video generators work?

AI video generators work by combining text input, synthetic voice technology, and pre-rendered avatars or animations to create full videos. You type a script, and the AI generates a talking-head avatar or animated scene with synced audio and visuals.

​

At Portland Video Production Company, we use advanced AI generators—but with real creative oversight. We help you write scripts, pick the right tone, and ensure the final product feels personal, natural, and professionally produced. Click here to see our AI video services.
