Generally speaking, book trailer production companies will charge anywhere between $500 – $2,500, depending on the scope of the project and the complexities involved in producing the trailer. Prices will vary depending upon the services offered and the experience of the production team.
Here are some factors that can influence the cost of a book trailer:
Production Quality and Duration: The type of production you’re looking for and the length of the desired trailer will affect the cost. Higher quality footage will require more advanced equipment, which is more expensive and take more time to produce. Shorter trailers could cost less than longer ones.
Graphics, Animation and Special Effects: Animation, graphics and special effects will also influence the cost of a book trailer. The more complex the graphics, animation and/or special effects, the more expensive it will be.
Voice Overs and Music: Voice overs and music can add to the cost of a book trailer. If you require professional voice-over artists and original background music, you can expect to pay extra for it.
Script and Creative Direction: If you do not have a script ready, you may need to hire a storyboard writer and/or creative director to help create one. This can also add to the cost.
Overall, book trailers are great tools to promote your books and gain visibility among potential readers. They can cost anywhere between $500 – $2,500 depending on the type of production and the services included. Talk to a few different production teams to get the best deal for you.
