Best Video Production Singapore (2026 Guide)
There is no single best video production company in Singapore. There are six clear categories of provider, and the right pick depends on volume, format, and how much you produce in-house. Here is the buyer's view.
Who runs the best video production in Singapore?
There is no single best video production company in Singapore. The market splits into six categories, and the right pick depends on annual video volume, the formats you produce, the languages you need, and how much production capacity you already have in-house. Below is the buyer's view of the Singapore market in 2026 - the categories, who each is best for, indicative pricing, and the questions to ask before you sign anything.
The 6 categories of video production provider in Singapore
1. Subscription video production platforms (best for enterprise teams producing 20+ videos a year)
Subscription platforms package production capacity, brand templates, editing, and project management into a fixed monthly fee. Per-video cost lands lower than project work because brand learning and pre-production are amortized across the year. This is the right fit for marketing, comms, HR, and L&D teams producing across multiple use cases.
Indicative cost in Singapore: SGD 6,000 to SGD 25,000 per month, typically delivering 3 to 10+ finished videos depending on tier.
Best for: Enterprise marketing and comms teams with steady volume, multilingual SEA requirements, and short turnaround needs.
Shootsta sits here. 70,000+ videos produced globally, 48-hour first cuts, offices in Singapore, Sydney, London and San Diego, with active financial services, pharma, tech, and aviation clients across APAC.
2. Boutique production houses (best for hero brand films and TVCs)
Singapore has a strong bench of boutique production companies that specialize in high-end brand films, broadcast TVCs, and director-led work. Expect a small, senior team, longer timelines, and a higher per-project cost.
Indicative cost in Singapore: SGD 25,000 to SGD 150,000+ per finished film.
Best for: One-off hero campaigns, broadcast TVCs, brand relaunches, anything requiring a specialist director or DP.
3. Animation studios (best for animated explainers and motion design)
Singapore has several established animation studios serving the financial services, tech, and government sectors. They specialize in 2D explainer animation, motion graphics, and infographic videos - work where there is no live shoot.
Indicative cost in Singapore: SGD 8,000 to SGD 35,000 per 60 to 90 second animated explainer.
Best for: Product explainers, regulated FS content (no talent on camera), training animations, motion graphics for events.
4. Full-service creative agencies with video arms
Most large advertising and brand agencies in Singapore have an in-house video team. You get integrated creative thinking and a single point of contact across paid, social, and brand. Cost per video is typically the highest of the categories because the creative strategy fee sits on top of production.
Indicative cost in Singapore: Usually packaged inside a retainer of SGD 30,000+ per month covering creative, video, and paid media.
Best for: Brands that already run paid media campaigns with the agency and want video produced inside that workflow.
5. Freelance videographers and small studios (best for low-volume, budget-sensitive work)
Independent videographers and 2 to 4 person studios make up the largest slice of the Singapore market by volume. Quality varies widely - excellent at the top end, inconsistent at the lower end. Best for businesses producing fewer than 6 videos a year.
Indicative cost in Singapore: SGD 1,500 to SGD 6,000 per project, with shoot day rates of SGD 800 to SGD 2,000.
Best for: SMBs, one-off event recaps, founder videos, low-stakes social content.
6. Event video specialists (best for conferences, AGMs, and corporate events)
A specialist category focused on multi-camera event coverage, livestreaming, and same-day or next-day event recaps. These teams are built for high-pressure single-day shoots.
Indicative cost in Singapore: SGD 3,500 to SGD 12,000 per event day, recap edits extra.
Best for: AGMs, conferences, trade events, partner summits, anything broadcast-quality live.
How to choose between the categories
The single biggest filter is annual video volume. Below 6 to 8 videos a year, freelance or project work wins on cost. Between 8 and 20 videos a year, project-based agencies or boutique houses are still cost-effective. Above 20 videos a year, especially when those videos span multiple use cases and languages, subscription production is almost always cheaper per video and faster to brief. We covered the math in detail in our Singapore video production cost guide.
The second filter is format mix. If 80% of your output is animated explainers and corporate templates, an animation studio plus templated editing covers most needs. If your mix includes live shoots, talking heads, events, and multilingual versions, a subscription model holds together better than stitching three vendors.
The third filter is regulation. Financial services, pharma, and government work need a partner who understands compliance review cycles. Most Singapore boutique houses do not handle MAS-style version control out of the box. We built the workflow specifically for this on our Singapore financial services video production page.
Questions to ask any Singapore video production company before signing
- What is your turnaround from brief approval to first cut? Anything over 7 days is project work, not a production workflow. Enterprise teams should expect 48 to 72 hours.
- How do you handle multilingual versions for SEA? Mandarin, Bahasa, Vietnamese, Thai. If the answer is "we outsource it", you will pay an uplift on every project.
- How many revision rounds are included? One round is standard. Two is generous. Anything billed hourly after that is where invoices balloon.
- Do you template brand setup once, or rebuild it every project? Templated brand setup is the single biggest predictor of per-video cost over time.
- Who owns the raw footage and the project files? Many Singapore agencies retain raw footage by default. Check this in the contract.
- What is your overage rate? For subscription, what does it cost when you exceed the tier? For project, what does a third revision round cost? Get the number in writing.
- How do you handle MAS or compliance review cycles? Critical for financial services. Look for a partner who builds compliance into the workflow rather than as an afterthought.
What does Singapore video production cost in 2026?
Corporate video production in Singapore in 2026 typically runs SGD 2,500 to SGD 8,000 per video on a subscription model, SGD 6,000 to SGD 18,000 per video on project pricing, and SGD 25,000 to SGD 80,000+ for high-end brand films. Animation lands between SGD 8,000 and SGD 35,000 per 60 to 90 second explainer. Full breakdown in our Singapore video production cost guide.
How does Shootsta compare to a traditional Singapore video agency?
The shape of the relationship is different. A traditional Singapore production agency quotes per project, builds a team for that job, and disbands it on delivery. Brand learning resets each time. A Shootsta subscription locks one team, one set of brand templates, and one set of brand-trained editors against your account for the year, with capacity flexed up or down across burst periods.
For Singapore enterprises producing 30+ videos a year, that operating model lands between 40% and 60% cheaper per finished video than agency project work, with delivery in 48 hours instead of 4 weeks. We covered the systems thinking behind it in how Singapore video teams scale without hiring.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best video production company in Singapore for enterprise teams?
For enterprise marketing, comms, HR, and L&D teams producing 20+ videos a year across multiple formats and languages, a subscription production model wins on cost, speed, and brand consistency. Shootsta runs this model for clients across Singapore financial services, tech, and pharma. For one-off hero brand films, a boutique production house is usually a better fit.
How much does video production cost in Singapore?
SGD 2,500 to SGD 8,000 per video on subscription, SGD 6,000 to SGD 18,000 per video on project pricing, SGD 25,000+ for high-end brand films, and SGD 1,500 to SGD 6,000 for freelance work. The full breakdown by format, including animation and event video, is in our Singapore video production cost guide.
Which Singapore video production companies handle MAS-regulated financial services work?
A handful of subscription and boutique providers in Singapore have workflows built for MAS-style compliance review. Look for explicit version control, named compliance approver in the workflow, audit trail on edits, and experience with banks, insurers or asset managers. Shootsta runs this workflow for Singapore FS clients on the financial services video production page.
Can a Singapore video production company also handle multilingual versions for the rest of SEA?
Some can, most cannot do it well at scale. Multilingual production for Mandarin, Bahasa, Vietnamese, and Thai requires either an in-house voiceover and edit team or a tightly managed translation network. Most freelance and boutique houses outsource it, which adds 30% to 60% to cost and 2 to 4 weeks to timeline. Subscription providers built for APAC tend to bake this into the workflow.
What is the difference between a Singapore video production agency and a subscription production platform?
A traditional agency quotes per project, with brand setup, pre-production, and a fresh team built for each job. A subscription platform charges a monthly fee against a fixed capacity, with one persistent team and templated brand setup that amortizes across all your work. Subscription wins on per-video cost and turnaround above ~20 videos a year. Project work wins on flexibility for one-off hero pieces.
