You’ve got the music. You’ve got the vision. Now, what does it take to turn it into a killer music video? Let’s talk money. It’s probably one of the first questions you’ll have when planning your next release. Fair enough. Unfortunately, there’s no standard price for a music video.
And that’s actually a good thing.
At Metal Media, we don’t work with ready-made packages or assembly-line productions. We create music videos around your band, your music and your ideas. From crushing performance videos to elaborate cinematic productions, every project has its own requirements. And naturally, its own investment.
One thing upfront: we’re not a budget video production company. We work with professional crews, serious equipment and years of experience. We believe great music deserves great visuals, and we’re not interested in cutting corners to win a price war.
If you’re looking for the cheapest video on the market, we’re probably not your guys. If you want something that does your music justice, keep reading.
A music video can be as straightforward or as ambitious as your imagination allows. The production requirements depend entirely on what you want to achieve. A few things make a difference:
The concept: A raw performance video is a different beast from a full-blown cinematic storyline with actors, elaborate scenes and special effects.
Locations and set design: Whether we’re shooting in a studio, an abandoned industrial complex or a custom-built environment.
The production: Crew, cameras, lighting, equipment and the number of shooting days.
Post-production: Editing, colour grading, CGI, compositing and visual effects that bring the whole thing together.
Some ideas need a camera, a great location and the right atmosphere. Others need an entire production team working together to make something spectacular. Neither approach is inherently better. It’s about finding the right way to bring your music to life.
Let’s be honest: there are plenty of people with a camera who can film a band playing a song.
But creating a music video that captures the identity of your band, complements your music and actually makes people stop scrolling? That’s a different story.
It takes experience, creative vision and an understanding of how to translate music into images. At Metal Media, we bring decades of combined experience and more than 100 music videos worth of know-how to every project. We know metal, we know filmmaking and we know how to make the two work together.
We’re not here to produce the cheapest possible video. We’re here to create something that looks the part, sounds like your band and gives your release the visual impact it deserves.
Quality has its price. And we’d rather get things right than cut corners.
Every band is different. Some have a major album campaign coming up, others are putting everything into their next single. We understand that. Having a budget in mind is useful. It helps us explore what’s possible, make the right creative decisions and focus on what will have the biggest impact.
You don’t need a finished concept, a production plan or a degree in filmmaking. Just tell us about your band, your music and what you’d love to see happen. We’ll figure out the rest together and put together a proposal tailored to your project.
No cookie-cutter packages. No unnecessary extras. Just a production built around your music and your ambitions.
Whether you’re gearing up for an album release, dropping a new single or finally bringing that crazy video idea to life, we’d love to hear about it. Tell us what you’re planning, what you have in mind and, if you have one, your budget.
Let’s make something worth watching.

The cost of a professional music video depends on the creative concept, locations, crew, filming requirements and post-production.

Not at all. Whether you have detailed storyboards, a fully developed treatment or just a rough idea, we can help develop your concept into a complete music video production.
