A professional music video in A Coruña can start at around €400 + VAT for a simple production, although the final budget can increase significantly depending on locations, art direction, camera movement, revisions and production requirements. More ambitious productions can easily reach €1,500, €2,500 or considerably more.

There is no single fixed price for producing a music video.

A performance video filmed across one or two locations requires very different resources from a project involving extras, multiple shooting days, complex art direction or specialist camera movement.

For this reason, TRIPLE Q prices each music video as an individual project after understanding what the song and concept actually require.

How much does a professional music video cost in A Coruña?

At TRIPLE Q, professional music video production starts at €400 + VAT. A standard production is priced at €750 + VAT, while Pro productions start at €950 + VAT.

These figures are starting production references rather than maximum budgets.

A more complex music video can cost €1,500, €2,500 or significantly more when additional resources are required.

The most useful question is therefore not simply how much a music video costs, but what the concept needs in order to work properly.

Standard€750 + VATGreater visual variety, additional planning and 3–4 locations
ProFrom €950 + VATMore developed production design with up to 5–6 expandable locations

All three production levels follow a professional workflow.

The main difference is the amount of time, locations, equipment and visual complexity required by the concept.

What is included in a simple professional music video?

A simple music video can include professional camera equipment, lighting, cinematography, planning, editing and color grading while using a more contained production setup.

A lower production level does not mean lowering professional standards.

Instead, the concept is designed around fewer resources.

For example, the production may use fewer locations, a simpler lighting setup or camera movements that do not require additional specialist equipment.

This makes it possible to maintain a professional workflow while keeping the production efficient.

What does each production package include?

Each level defines its crew, locations, planning, edit, colour and revision rounds.

  • Simple: 1–2 locations, tailored shoot planning, two crew members, professional camera and lighting, a short visual concept, editing and colour, one revision round and one 15-second vertical teaser.
  • Standard: two shooting days, 3–4 locations, two crew members, professional camera and lighting, visual treatment, shot list, editing and creative colour, two revision rounds and two 15–30-second vertical teasers.
  • Pro: up to three eight-hour shooting days, 5–6 expandable locations and a crew expandable to three people, professional camera and lighting, narrative treatment, planning, editing and shot-by-shot colour, three revision rounds and three 15–30-second vertical teasers. The final Pro scope depends on the agreed budget.

Each video can be up to four minutes, delivered as horizontal 16:9 4K MP4, with the included vertical teasers in 1080 × 1920. Raw footage, editing projects, music recording and complex VFX are not included unless quoted separately. A €100 reservation is deducted from the final price; the remaining amount is payable before final delivery.

What factors increase the cost of a music video?

Locations, art direction, shot requirements, camera equipment, revisions and duration are among the main factors that can increase a music video budget.

Different concepts allocate their budgets differently.

One video may depend heavily on art direction and set design.

Another may require several locations.

A third may rely on specific camera movements that need additional equipment.

As a result, two music videos with the same runtime can have completely different production costs.

What usually makes a music video more expensive?

The number and complexity of locations are often among the biggest factors affecting a music video budget.

Multiple locations require additional planning, travel, setup time and logistics.

However, more locations do not automatically create a better music video.

A strong visual result can be produced in one or two locations when lighting, framing, art direction and cinematography are carefully developed.

How much does travel cost for a music video in A Coruña?

For productions in A Coruña and the surrounding province, TRIPLE Q generally estimates travel costs at around €50–100 depending on the specific production.

The exact amount is confirmed before the project is approved.

This allows the artist or production team to understand the complete cost before filming begins.

Does TRIPLE Q charge by the hour?

No. TRIPLE Q prices music videos per project rather than using an hourly filming rate.

The goal is to budget around the finished piece and the resources required to produce it.

Planning, production, editing, color grading and deliverables can therefore be considered as part of the same project.

How is a music video budget prepared?

The process begins with the artist's references and a creative briefing that helps define the intended visual direction.

TRIPLE Q then collects additional references that complement the artist's ideas and help establish a shared visual language.

From there, the project can move into a visual treatment and shot list.

Once the shots are defined, it becomes easier to determine:

  • locations;
  • lighting;
  • camera requirements;
  • art direction;
  • extras;
  • shooting days;
  • additional production resources.

This allows the final quotation to reflect the actual needs of the project.

What is the difference between a €500–700 music video and a €1,500–2,500 production?

The main difference is the number of resources available to execute the idea.

A larger budget can make it possible to use extras, more complex camera movement, developed art direction, constructed or modified sets, additional locations and more production time.

Spending more money does not automatically create a better music video.

A simple concept executed properly can outperform a large production with a weak idea.

But when a concept genuinely requires additional resources, a larger budget gives the filmmakers more tools to realise it.

What should you avoid cutting from a music video budget?

TRIPLE Q recommends avoiding excessive cuts to art direction, camera and lighting.

Art direction defines much of the world in which the music video exists.

Camera and lighting determine how that world is translated into the final image.

When these elements are carefully developed, even a smaller production can achieve a strong visual identity.

What type of artists does TRIPLE Q work with?

TRIPLE Q can work across different musical genres, with a particular affinity for hip hop and urban music.

The approach is not defined only by genre.

The objective is to develop a visual concept that fits the artist's identity and the character of the song.

Can two music videos be produced as one coordinated project?

Yes. TRIPLE Q offers options for producing two music videos through a coordinated production plan.

Each clip retains its own edit and visual identity, along with the revision rounds and teasers of its package.

Reference prices are:

Two music video packages
PackagePrice
Simple Duo€750 + VAT
Standard Duo€1,350 + VAT
Pro DuoFrom €1,800 + VAT

Producing two releases together can allow certain production resources to be shared while maintaining an independent edit and visual identity for each track.

Can a music video cost €30,000?

Yes. There is no fixed maximum budget for a professional music video.

Music videos can cost hundreds, thousands or tens of thousands of euros depending on scale.

Casting, major locations, set construction, art direction, visual effects, specialist camera equipment and larger crews can dramatically increase production costs.

For this reason, a generic “average price” is often less useful than understanding what a specific concept requires.

How much should an artist invest in a first professional music video?

For a simple piece produced by experienced professionals, approximately €400–700 + VAT can be a reasonable starting point.

This range can support a professional production workflow covering filming and post-production without requiring a large-scale production.

From there, the budget can increase according to the visual ambition of the project.
