06 Honesty
What we're not right for.
- One off social clips under $395. Go find a freelancer, honestly. At that size we cost more than we're worth to you.
- National broadcast campaigns with union crews and agency producers. That's a job for SMUGGLER and they can have it.
- Clients who want to approve every frame. The whole system runs on one 15 minute approval a month, and if that isn't enough room for you the retainer is going to be frustrating.
- Anyone who won't go on camera at all in a personal brand retainer. Buyers are picking you. We've got a camera shy method and we still can't replace you.
- Rush turnarounds inside 24 hours on retainer work. The edit window is there so the work comes out good.
07 Questions
How much does video production cost in the Lehigh Valley?
TM Productions publishes fixed rates. Real estate listing media runs $395 to $2,495 and up per property depending on whether you need stills only or a full campaign with drone, agent on camera and social cuts. Monthly content retainers run $1,495 to $6,495 per month depending on volume and vertical. Live broadcast runs $1,850 for a single camera stream to $6,500 and up for a multi camera produced event.
For context, the regional band for listing photos is $119 to $200 and for listing video is $79 to $250 based on published rates from Prevailed Studios and Real Estate Exposures. The regional band for a produced live stream is $2,500 to $10,000 per Edge of Cinema.
How fast do I get the files back?
Listing media is 24 hours to 5 business days depending on tier. Retainer content is a 5 to 7 business day edit window from capture day. Live broadcast recordings are handed over the same day. Sensitive posts get a 24 hour preview before anything publishes. No other Lehigh Valley production company publishes a turnaround at all.
Do you require a contract?
Retainers carry a 3 month minimum. Project work is a services agreement with 50 percent to lock the date and 50 percent on delivery. We'll also sign your MSA or vendor agreement and return redlines within 3 business days.
Who owns the footage?
You own all final delivered content. TM Productions retains portfolio and case study rights unless you waive them in writing, which we'll do on request. Raw footage stays with us unless you buy it separately.
Do you have insurance and can you provide a COI?
Yes. General liability is in force and a certificate of insurance is issued on request, including naming an additional insured. All aerial work is flown by an FAA Part 107 certified remote pilot.
How do you access my social accounts?
Through Meta Business Suite and TikTok Business agency access. We never take your password, and you can pull our access any time from your own account.
