Corporate Videography Cost in Malaysia: What Your Quote Should Include
In Kuala Lumpur and the Klang Valley, corporate videography typically costs RM 3,000 to RM 15,000 for a one-day interview or event shoot, and RM 8,000 to RM 30,000 or more for a full corporate profile or brand film. A good quote lists the crew, shoot days, equipment, editing, revisions, music, delivery formats and usage rights. If any of these is missing, ask before you sign.
I’m Joshua Lim, a producer, filmmaker and videographer based in Petaling Jaya. I have 15+ years in production and 280+ projects for brands such as Nestlé, Sharp and Amway. This guide explains what corporate videography costs and how to read a quote.

What is often not included
Ask specifically about these, because they are the usual reasons a final bill is higher than the quote:
- Extra revision rounds, which typically cost RM 1,500 to RM 3,500 each
- Talent fees, typically RM 800 to RM 3,500 per shoot day
- Location fees, typically RM 1,500 to RM 25,000
- Drone with a licensed pilot, typically RM 2,500 to RM 5,500 per day
- Custom or licensed music
- Extra language versions and subtitles
- Raw footage, which is usually not handed over unless agreed
- Overtime, travel and parking
What affects the price most
- Shoot days and crew size. The biggest factor.
- Scope of editing. Motion graphics, multiple languages and many versions add time.
- Talent and locations. Hired talent and venue fees can add thousands.
- Usage rights. A video for your website costs less than one used in paid advertising.
- Deadline. Fast turnaround may carry a surcharge.
How to compare quotes fairly
Put each quote in the same table: crew, shoot days, equipment, edit length, revisions, usage rights and delivery date. A lower price usually means one of these is smaller or missing. Ask each producer to show past work for a similar brief.
How to get a useful quote from me
Send these five things:
- What the video is for, such as sales, hiring, investors or internal use
- Where it will be shown
- Preferred length and number of versions
- Number of locations and people on camera
- Deadline and budget range
