Why video pricing is never calculated per minute

Asking for the price of a two-minute video in Morocco is like asking for the cost of a 200 m² building without specifying whether it is a warehouse or a medical clinic. A half-day executive interview in your Rabat or Casablanca office requires a very different setup from a scripted brand film with casting, multiple locations and cinema lighting like See It Your Way for URBN Eyewear.

1. Production: shoot days, locations and crew size

On-set logistics form the first major cost driver. Consolidating filming into a single day at one location keeps crew and travel lean. When a project spans multiple cities (e.g. headquarters in Casablanca, a plant in Tangier and a congress in Marrakech), requires multi-camera coverage or involves complex lighting and wireless audio, crew sizing scales accordingly.

2. Post-production: editing, motion graphics and language versions

Post-production turns raw footage into a persuasive asset. It covers footage logging, narrative editing, colour grading, sound mixing, branded motion graphics and multilingual subtitling. In Morocco, scoping French, English and Arabic versions upfront maximises reach across domestic and international audiences.

3. Distribution: multiplying ROI through multi-format cutdowns

The most common mistake is spending the entire budget on a single master video published only once. As demonstrated on IMC 2025 and Docdialy, pairing a flagship 16:9 film with 9:16 vertical clips and tailored hooks extends campaign lifespan across LinkedIn, Instagram Reels and YouTube.
