What is commercial videography?
Commercial videography is video production for commercial use rather than personal or editorial use. The output covers brand films, product and service commercials, social ads, event coverage, employer brand, and property or location video. Buyers are usually marketing, brand, comms, or sales leads in companies that need video content for distribution on owned channels, paid media, or sales and recruitment workflows.
The traditional commercial videography model uses an agency or freelance crew per project at $3,000 to $25,000 per video. The modern model is a subscription with a global editing team and a local crew network handling unlimited videos at a fixed monthly cost, which is what Shootsta runs for enterprise customers across PwC, Schneider Electric, and CBRE.

Frequently asked questions
What is commercial videography?
Commercial videography is video production for commercial use rather than personal or editorial use. The output covers brand films, product and service commercials, social ads, event coverage, employer brand, and property or location video. Buyers are usually marketing, brand, comms, or sales leads in companies that need video content for distribution on owned channels, paid media, or sales and recruitment workflows.
What is the difference between commercial videography and corporate video?
The two terms overlap heavily. Corporate video tends to describe internal-facing work (executive updates, town halls, training, internal comms). Commercial videography tends to describe outward-facing work (brand films, ads, social creative, event content, employer brand). The same production team usually handles both - Shootsta runs commercial videography and corporate video on the same subscription.
How much does commercial videography cost?
A single commercial video produced by a traditional agency or production house typically costs between $3,000 and $25,000 depending on length, crew, location, and post-production. Subscription production models like Shootsta bring unit cost down significantly: most commercial videography teams produce 6 to 25 videos a month at a fixed monthly rate, which works out at a fraction of the agency per-video rate.
How fast can a commercial videography project be delivered?
Shootsta delivers a first cut within 48 hours of receiving footage. Traditional commercial videography projects through an agency typically run four to eight weeks from brief to final delivery. The 48-hour cycle works because the editor pool is global and time-zoned to keep edits moving while one region sleeps.
Does Shootsta provide local commercial videographers?
Yes. Shootsta operates a vetted local videographer network in 30+ cities including Sydney, Melbourne, London, Singapore, San Diego, Los Angeles, New York, Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Auckland. The crew shoots on-site locally and the edit is handled by the global Shootsta editor team, which is what keeps the 48-hour turnaround working across regions.
What deliverables come out of a commercial videography project?
A standard commercial videography project delivers a hero film (usually 60 to 90 seconds), 30 second and 15 second cutdowns for paid social, vertical 9:16 versions for Reels and TikTok, captioned versions, and source files. Most commercial briefs go in once and come back as 5 to 10 distinct assets ready for distribution across channels.
Does commercial videography cover events and conferences?
Yes. Event and conference coverage is one of the highest-volume commercial videography use cases. Shootsta sends a local crew, captures multi-camera footage, and turns the event into highlight reels, speaker clips, and a recap video within days rather than weeks. Most enterprise marketing teams use this format for annual conferences, product launches, and partner events.
Can I scale commercial videography across multiple brands or regions?
Yes - this is the model Shootsta is built for. Multi-brand companies and multi-region marketing teams use a single Shootsta subscription with brand kits for each entity, regional editors for each market, and centralized brief and review tooling. Output stays consistent across brands and markets without each team needing to source local crew and editors separately.
