Don’t leave yet. Here’s a case study.
Church “A” wants a creative film to run in their church service or live stream.
If they hired out a production company, one creative project could run as high as $75,000- $150,000. The production company will rent professional cinema equipment, have tons of meetings over the course of several months, do pre-production scheduling of freelancers, hire project managers for all steps of the editing and color grading process and equally expensive music licensing.
When investing in Shadow and Light Film Studios for a creative project, you get nearly $100,000 worth of professional film licensing for around $10,000.
That’s less than the cost of a single cinema camera.
