The short answer: Kanyon Studio video production in San Diego is quoted flat from your brief. A social content package with reels and vertical cutdowns starts from $700, a scripted 60 to 90 second brand film starts from $800, and a multi-location commercial campaign starts from $2,000. Concept, shooting, and editing are quoted as one number, and the quote comes back within 24 hours.
The three project types
Social package: from $700
One shoot day producing a batch of short vertical edits for Reels, TikTok, and Shorts. Right for brands that need a month of content from a single day.
Brand film: from $800
A 60 to 90 second scripted story piece with location shooting and full post-production. The homepage video, the about-page video, the piece that explains the brand in a minute.
Commercial campaign: from $2,000
Multi-location shoot days, talent, motion graphics, and a hero cut plus a full set of cutdowns for every platform.
What drives video cost
- Shoot days. The biggest lever. Every additional day adds shooting and editing time.
- Editing scope. One hero cut versus a hero plus ten social cutdowns.
- Locations and talent. San Diego's beaches, desert, and streets are free production value; models are passed through at cost.
- Motion graphics. Titles and animation add post-production hours quickly.
One creative director, photo and video on the same day
At Kanyon Studio one person concepts, shoots, and edits, so nothing is lost in handoffs. Photo and video can share a shoot day, which is the single biggest budget lever in content production: one location, one setup, two content libraries. See the full video production service or get a flat quote.
Frequently asked questions
How much does video production cost in San Diego?
Kanyon Studio quotes video flat from your brief. Social packages start from $700, brand films from $800, and commercial campaigns from $2,000.
Is there an hourly video rate?
Video is quoted as a flat project so the total is known before the shoot. Short add-on b-roll on a booked photo day is quoted the same way.
Can photo and video be shot on the same day?
Yes, and it is the most cost-effective way to build both libraries. One location, one setup, one creative director.
How long does editing take?
First cuts come back fast; a social package typically delivers within a week and a brand film within two, depending on revisions.
Do you handle drone video?
Yes. Aerial video is flown by an FAA Part 107 licensed pilot and can be added to any project.
