Pricing
Every project is different, so costs depend on length, complexity, and whether it is animated or live action.
An animated web video that is 1- to 2-minute can be completed in 3 to 4 weeks.
Live action production time may vary according to the shooting schedule. Once the shooting is done, the post-production work averages 2 to 3 weeks.
Costs of stock photography, music or hired voiceovers may increase production expenses; clients may provide already
licensed elements to keep costs low.
A typical budget for the live action or animated web short will range from $2,500-$10,000.

“SunJae and the team at LightSmith Productions produce a better quality video at a better price than anyone else out there. The team is easy to work with and provides constant feedback throughout the project to make sure your video turns out perfect. They listened to what we wanted to were able to match the style perfectly with our brand. I've already referred everyone I know to LightSmith and if I need another video I will definitely be going back.”
--Nick Miller, CEO and Co-Founder, Parking Panda
Lightsmith Productions created an outstanding animated video for us! SunJae and his team were extremely responsive and very creative. They understood what we were after and constructed an amazing video at a great price. We have already worked together on two projects and are looking forward to many more.

“I have to say that Mie and Sun Jae made the entire experience so pleasant, so nearly effortless, that I might as well have been sitting in
a living room talking to a friend. I recently saw the fruits of their labors, and was frankly astonished at how comfortable I looked on camera, the spot-on perfect lighting, how seamlessly the interview was edited, and how effective the overall presentation seemed. I can’t find the proper words to praise LightSmith for what it pulled off.”
