Corporate video production in Pretoria costs between R9,850 and R21,500 in 2026 for a professionally shot and edited film. At WL CreationX, event coverage starts at R9,850, a brand story video is R12,500, and a full corporate video package — full-day shoot, two cameras, scripting, motion graphics and social cutdowns — is R21,500. Drone footage adds from R3,450 and a second camera operator from R2,850. Those are our published rates on our videography services page, and every quote is fixed before the shoot is booked.

Here is exactly what you get at each price point, and what moves the number up or down.

What Does Each Video Package Include?

Event Coverage — R9,850

The entry point for professional video. You get a roaming videographer on site for up to six hours, coverage of speakers, panels and floor candids, a 90–120 second highlights reel, a next-day teaser clip you can post while the event is still fresh, and raw footage handover. This suits conferences, launches and awards evenings where the event itself provides the content.

Brand Story Video — R12,500

A half-day shoot in or around Pretoria producing a 60–90 second finished film about your business. Includes a pre-production call and shot list, licensed music, a colour grade, a subtitled cut for social media, and two revision rounds. This is the package most small and medium Pretoria businesses choose for a website hero video or company introduction.

Corporate Video Package — R21,500

The full production: a full-day shoot with a two-camera setup, scripting and interview direction, professional lighting and audio, a 2–3 minute main film, three short social cutdowns, motion graphics and lower thirds, and three revision rounds. Built for company profile films, culture videos and flagship communication pieces where several people go on camera and the footage needs to work across multiple channels.

What Do the Add-Ons Cost?

Video quotes usually grow through add-ons, so here are ours upfront:

Drone / aerial footage — from R3,450. Flown by a licensed operator, 4K aerial coverage. Essential for property, construction and large sites.
Second camera operator — from R2,850. Multi-angle coverage for interviews and events.
Scriptwriting and storyboard — from R2,400. Concept, script and a shot-by-shot storyboard before filming.
Edit-only / post production — from R1,950. You supply the footage; we cut, grade and deliver.
Extra social cutdowns — from R1,150. Additional vertical 9:16 versions for Reels and TikTok.
Subtitles and translation — from R850. Burned-in or SRT, English and Afrikaans.

What Actually Drives Corporate Video Costs?

Crew size and shoot length

The biggest lever. A half-day, single-camera shoot (our R12,500 brand story tier) roughly doubles in production effort when it becomes a full day with two cameras, lighting and dedicated audio — which is why the full corporate package sits at R21,500.

Number of locations

Every extra location means travel, setup and teardown time. We film across Pretoria, Centurion and greater Gauteng — including Johannesburg, Sandton and Midrand — at no additional travel cost; shoots further afield are quoted with travel and accommodation listed separately so you can see exactly what you are paying for.

Drone work

Aerial footage adds from R3,450, and legality matters: aerial filming must be flown by a licensed operator within South African civil aviation rules, and some sites sit in restricted airspace. We check this during pre-production rather than surprising you on the day.

Editing rounds and versions

Editing is where budgets quietly leak. Our packages include the revision rounds in the price — two on a brand story video, three on the corporate package — and additional deliverables like vertical cutdowns are priced per item (from R1,150) rather than reopening the quote. When comparing quotes, always ask how many revision rounds are included and what each extra version costs.

Scripting and pre-production

A scripted film with interview direction takes more preparation than run-and-gun event coverage. Scriptwriting and storyboarding adds from R2,400 if it is not already part of your package, and it is money well spent: an approved script before the shoot prevents the far more expensive fix of re-shooting.

How Long Does a Corporate Video Take?

A typical corporate video runs three to four weeks end to end: about a week of pre-production (script, shot list, scheduling), one shoot day, and roughly two weeks for editing and revisions. We deliver a first cut within five working days of the shoot. Event highlights are faster — a teaser clip can be delivered the next day.

How Do You Keep the Budget Down Without Killing the Result?

Four honest ways, from our side of the camera:

Combine photography and video on the same day. The crew, lighting and location are already set up, so adding stills to a video shoot costs far less than a separate photography booking.
Consolidate locations. Two scenes at one venue cost less than one scene at each of two venues.
Approve the script before the shoot, not after. Changes on paper are free; changes that require re-shooting are not.
Plan the cutdowns upfront. Telling us you need vertical social versions before the shoot means we frame for them; deciding afterwards can mean compromised crops.

If video is part of a bigger campaign, our service bundles combine video with design, photography and marketing work from one team, which is generally cheaper than briefing four suppliers.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a corporate video cost in Pretoria?

R21,500 for our full corporate package: a full-day two-camera shoot, scripting, professional lighting and audio, a 2–3 minute film, three social cutdowns and motion graphics. Smaller productions start at R12,500 for a brand story video and R9,850 for event coverage.

What is the cheapest way to get professional video?

Event coverage at R9,850 if you have an event worth filming, or edit-only post production from R1,950 if you already have usable footage and just need it cut and graded properly.

How much does drone footage add to a video quote?

From R3,450, flown by a licensed operator in 4K. Some locations require prior permission or fall inside restricted airspace — we verify this during pre-production and tell you upfront if aerial work is not possible at your site.

Do you charge travel for shoots outside Pretoria?

Not within Gauteng — Centurion, Midrand, Johannesburg and Sandton are covered at no extra travel cost. Shoots elsewhere in South Africa are quoted with travel and accommodation as separate line items.

How many revisions are included?

Two revision rounds on the brand story video and three on the corporate package. The revision count is agreed in the fixed quote before the shoot is booked, so there are no surprise editing invoices.

Who owns the footage?

You do. Full usage rights to the finished video transfer to you on final payment, and raw footage can be handed over on request.
