Ways To Cut Cost On Audio Visual Production NYC

By Amy Campbell


The perceived high cost of audio visual production pushes many people into contracting amateurs and engaging unprofessional firms. Unknown to many, the cost of audio visual production NYC can be reduced without having to negotiate with producers or settle for low quality work. This will apply whether you are dealing with documentaries, films, live events and such other projects.

Plan your work to the last bit. The charges for producing any film will depend on the time taken on location and during editing. Planning should therefore be meticulous to ensure that venues are ready, dates close by and the talents involved are available. Once you begin your shooting, there will be no time to stop until your project is complete. You should also consider venues that are close to reduce travel budget.

Everyone who will be part of the shot must prepare adequately before-hand. Producers and film makers charge based on the amount of time required to shoot and edit. Without adequate preparation, the number of takes per scene will increase. This translates into more time, energy and a higher bill to pay.

Use the same service provider for the event. This allows you to pool together the resources instead of distributing them too widely. For instance, you have to pay double transport if you are dealing with two companies. It is easier to negotiate a lower cost when you allow a single company to produce your show since the work will be in bulk. Single contractors are always expensive.

There are different qualities in the market, each fit for particular purpose. This means that you do not need to go for the top quality cameras or production equipment if the product does not demand. There are lower quality equipment that would still give you the best results based on requirements of your project. This will save you money without denying you the chance to enjoy the deserving quality.

You need a bit of creativity with venues and other elements of your project. An example is where you need a posh beach for your shots. There are public beaches and camera manipulation techniques that will help you achieve the same results you desire. Using multiple cameras also reduces the number of shots taken. Improvisation is the secret to reducing the cost of production.

The cost should not cause you to settle for a poor quality service provider. By reducing the quality of your work, its market reception and sale value will be affected. There are events that cannot be repeated and therefore need to be captured perfectly the first time. If the work is for third party commercial consumption, it might be rejected leading to loss of resources.

The figures given in a quotation will be misleading if you fail to consider the details of the contract. Audio and visual production is an investment that you will be making. For you to reap good returns from the investment, you must be ready to put in the required money. Work with professionals and you will never regret the much you pay for it.
