Where this fits, honestly

Do not buy this when the story needs a camera on site

AI can only work with what is already in your photos. A filmed brand campaign with talent and interviews still needs a crew, as do live guests and events, new aerials, or a shot that does not exist in your photo library. For the full tradeoff, read our honest comparison of AI and traditional production.

Expedia Group’s 2025 Science of Wanderlust study of 7,000 travelers found video influences booking decisions almost three times more than photos, with 71% of travelers saying video swayed their decision versus 24% for static images.

Frequently asked questions

How much does hotel video production cost?

Hotel video production ranges from $0 to $100 for DIY, $150 to $992 for AI video from your photos, $1,000 to $3,000 for a freelance videographer, $4,000 to $15,000 or more for a full-service agency, and $20,000 or more for a cinematic brand film. Our exact prices are $150 for one social clip, $250 for a website hero video, and packs at $360, $608 and $992. Monthly plans run from $550 to $3,500.

How long does hotel video production take?

We deliver within 48 hours. A freelance videographer typically takes 1 to 3 weeks, a full-service agency takes 4 to 8 weeks, and a cinematic brand film takes 2 to 3 months.

Do we need a film shoot?

Not for our service. We work from photos your hotel already has. You do need a crew when the video requires footage your photo library cannot supply, such as new aerials, a presenter, live guests or events, or a flagship brand film built around a new shoot.

What do you need from our hotel to start?

Send a link to your hotel or the photos you already have. The engine composes a 9-scene storyboard for a 15-second film, then our team reviews and adjusts the result by hand before delivery.

Is AI video production as good as a filmed shoot?

It is the better fit when your existing photos already show what you need and the goal is a social clip, OTA listing video, seasonal refresh, or quick campaign. A filmed shoot is better when you need new angles, presenters, live guests, events, fresh aerials, or full creative control over footage that does not exist yet.

Why do you publish your prices?

Because a buyer should be able to compare every production route without booking a sales call first. Most production companies keep the number behind a conversation, so we put our prices and the wider market ranges on the page.
