What level of post is needed? For jobs on a tighter budget we keep our post to Kolor’s Autopano Video Pro (AVP).If the post is complicated then we will also charge for a producer during the post process, to manage the project and ensure strong client communication. Typically though a 1 day shoot will give approx 2 days of footage and will be given between 5 days and 15 days of post time. The amount of time you spend in post is potentially unending in a strive for perfection, so budget needs to determine the number of days. How many days of post are needed? With 360 video you can spend a huge amount of time trying to perfect a scene – the nature of 360 video and the ‘stitching’ process means there are often a lot of aspects to a scene that need to be tidied up.The problem of course is that it costs more – in post production, typically a third more days in post are needed. However, the look of the 3D content in a headset is stunning and is the ultimate way to view 360 video. Shooting content in 3D only matters for viewing it on a headset – looking on a desktop or mobile will only show mono. Is the content 3D or Mono? Often you may not know the answer to this question as a client.Also, consideration needs to be given to having dollies and operators or drones and operators or a whole raft of lighting options. The camera equipment can vary from high end 3D 360 video systems such as the Google Jump or the Nokia Ozo, right through to GoPro based monoscopic systems. What equipment is needed? The equipment we take is hugely varied, depending on the shoot we are going on, what we are shooting and the budgets available.Next, you need to consider travel days – our staff are charged at a reduced rate on days spent reaching and returning from location. How many days are needed on location/set? If it’s a shoot over a few days then simply multiply the costs.Who is going on the shoot? Do we need a VR Director, a VR DOP, 360 audio specialist, riggers, DITs etc? The number required depends on the shoot specifics and budget available.360 video production costs key considerations:
