Professional video production costs for therapy practices vary by scope, location, and privacy needs. Plan around three core deliverables: practitioner bios, a brief practice overview, and a patient education explainer. In therapy, videos must be private, accessible, and HIPAA compliant while conveying warmth.
- Define scope and outcomes before contacting vendors: list videos (bio, explainer, tour) and target lengths (1–2 minutes each).
- Offer fixed packages (basic, standard, premium) with explicit deliverables and revision limits; sample ranges: basic $1,000–$2,000; standard $3,000–$5,000; premium $6,000–$9,000.
- Choose supplier type based on budget and privacy needs: in-house, freelancer, or agency; include editing time and rights in total cost.
- Shoot in a quiet clinic or studio; compare on-site fees versus remote interviews; plan lighting and sound to avoid fixes.
- Script first, then shoot; include captions and accessibility from the start to reduce postproduction time.
- Use phased rollout: pilot a single video to validate message before broader production.
- Not defining audience and message; mismatched content wastes shoot time.
- Omitting postproduction and usage rights from the budget.
- Ignoring privacy, consent, and HIPAA requirements for patient appearances.
- Over-scoping or chasing many videos without prioritizing core assets.
- Skipping captions, accessibility, and platform specs; leads to rework and delays.
- Underestimating revisions or approvals; budget creep and missed deadlines.
- Use a written scope and script; sign off before filming.
- Include a 20–30% contingency for edits and approvals.
- Deliver in web-friendly formats with captions; request SRT files.
- Prioritize privacy: consent forms, anonymization options, and secure file handling.
- Capture office b-roll and brand visuals for flexible edits.
- Coordinate with SEO: optimize titles, descriptions, and keywords.
