“What should a video cost?”
It's one of the first questions people have when they're researching a project.
And one of the hardest questions to get a useful answer to.
Because the honest answer is: it depends.
An interview video isn't priced like a mini-documentary. A brand sizzle isn't scoped like a software explainer. And a single event recap is a very different production from a campaign built around multiple social assets.
The way we think about pricing is modular.
Most projects are built across three main areas: pre-production, production, and post-production. Within each of those are different pieces that may be needed depending on the project.
Some apply to almost every production. Others are specific to what you're actually trying to make.
How ambitious is the production? How much filming is involved and where? How much creative development happens before the cameras roll? How many deliverables are we creating? Are we working on a normal timeline, or does this need to move fast?
Those decisions are what build the final fee.
We’ve done our best to modularize those pieces so you can actually play with them.
Not just to get a rough sense of what a project might cost, but to better understand how video projects get built from a pricing perspective, and how we think about pricing at BRAEID.

Frame of a recent work I did for @Juice
To be honest, this was one of the most complex projects of the year so far, but I'm really happy with the final video. Really grateful for the opportunity to work on it.
Good Work!
From a 40-Minute Client Call to a Working Interactive Prototype in Hours (5x Faster with AI Agents)
Going from an initial client briefing to an approved wireframe usually takes 3 to 7 days of manual note-taking, layout debates, and generic copy.
In this video, I walk through my exact 3-phase workflow to cut that timeline down to a single afternoon using raw call transcripts and custom AI agent
Descript MCP Workflow
Instead of scrubbing through the timeline manually, I used the Descript MCP with an AI agent to instantly generate accurate YouTube timestamps, description and video titles directly from the project context — killing post-production busywork in seconds.

Showing innovation, features, and possibilities.
Every product has a story behind its design, features, and the problems it aims to solve. Product films bring those stories to life by showcasing what makes a product unique and how it can improve the way people work, create, or experience the world.
At Halate, we create product films that go beyond simply showing what a product looks like. We highlight its purpose, key features, and real-world applications through cinematic visuals, demonstrations, and authentic experiences from the people who use it.
Whether it is a product launch, promotional film, review, or in-depth demonstration, we create engaging content that helps audiences understand the value of a product and builds a stronger connection between brands and their customers.
From concept development and scripting to filming, editing, and final delivery, we handle the complete production process to create product films that inform, inspire, and showcase innovation.
