Honestly costed

What does a shoot day really cost?

A classic location shoot has hidden line items: permits, travel, rig time, weather risk. Set up your project here and compare it directly with a production in the XR studio, with realistic assumptions, transparently itemised.

How many days will you be shooting?
Desert, factory hall, skyline …, in the studio it's all in one place.
Crew travel
Long-distance = travel & accommodation for the crew.
Outdoor / weather-dependent?
Outdoor shoot = contingency for possible reshoot dates.

Why the gap is so wide

The hidden costs of a location shoot

On the LED wall, your team and your talent see the finished environment in real time, no compositing surprises in post, realistic reflections and lighting straight in the frame. Backdrop changes take minutes instead of moving days: five locations in a single shoot day is the norm, not the exception. And the weather is guaranteed to be irrelevant.

The real lever comes afterwards: we digitise your brand world once as an Unreal Engine set. Every further production starts in the finished set from minute one, so the per-shoot-day saving shown here repeats with every follow-up production.

Want the individual line items rather than just the total? In 5 locations in one shoot day we break down each cost block, including what to ask a stage provider before comparing day rates, and when virtual production doesn't pay off.
