How much does video production cost in Melbourne?

Which parts of Melbourne do you cover?
All of metropolitan Melbourne, from the CBD and inner suburbs out to the Mornington Peninsula, the Yarra Valley and Geelong. We also film across regional Victoria, and travel outside the metro area is costed into your quote.
What is branded content and how can it help my business?
Branded content is video that tells your brand’s story rather than directly selling a product. Instead of a traditional ad, it might be a mini-documentary about your team, a behind-the-scenes series or a campaign film that connects emotionally with your audience. We create branded content for Melbourne businesses that builds trust, grows audiences and drives real commercial outcomes. See our branded content production page.
How do you create social media video content that actually performs?
Effective social media video starts with platform-specific strategy. What works on TikTok is different to what works on LinkedIn or Instagram, so we plan content around your audience, platform behaviour and goals, whether that’s short-form Reels, YouTube Shorts, product demos or behind-the-scenes content. Our social campaigns have driven hundreds of thousands of views for Melbourne clients, including a 40% lift in new memberships for YesFitness.
What does full-service podcast production include?
Our podcast production covers concept and format development, recording, editing, sound design, music licensing and distribution to Spotify, Apple Podcasts and beyond. We also produce video versions optimised for YouTube and social media. Whether you’re starting from scratch or levelling up an existing show, our Melbourne crew handles the full process.
What does live event video coverage include?
Our live event coverage includes multi-camera filming, audio capture, real-time switching and live streaming where required. After the event we deliver a highlight reel, an extended cut, social media clips and individual speaker or performance videos, depending on your brief. We cover conferences, launches, festivals and sports events across Melbourne using Sony cinema cameras and ATEM live production systems.
How long does a video project take to deliver?
Most social and corporate projects are delivered within 2 to 4 weeks of the shoot. Highlight reels from live events can be turned around within 48 hours. Larger productions, including multi-day shoots and documentary work, typically take 4 to 8 weeks. Rush turnarounds are available on request.
Do you work with businesses outside Melbourne?
Yes. Our crew travels across Victoria and interstate when a project calls for it, and we can coordinate production across multiple locations. For shoots in New Zealand, our sister studio FanCast Queenstown handles production locally. Visit fancast.co.nz.
Can you handle both filming and post-production?
Yes. FanCast offers full end-to-end production, from pre-production planning and the shoot through to editing, colour grading, sound design and final delivery. You deal with one team from brief to finished product, which means faster turnarounds, cleaner communication and a consistent creative vision throughout.
Why choose FanCast Productions over other video companies in Melbourne?
Founder Dave Maguire comes from international sports broadcasting, where a shoot runs to time or it fails, and he runs every Melbourne production the same way. You get a small, experienced local crew that moves fast and communicates clearly, without the overhead of a large agency. Our Melbourne clients have seen measurable results, from 52.5% TikTok follower growth for Club Athletica to a 40% rise in new members at YesFitness. See our case studies.
