How much does video and drone production for social media cost in Colombia?
Short answer: a video production day (social media video, including drone shots) starts at COP 500,000 (≈ USD 125) in Colombia. If you’d rather have steady content instead of one-off days, there’s a monthly plan from COP 1,500,000. The final price varies with travel, how many pieces you need and how much editing each one takes.
Why “how much does a video cost” doesn’t have a single answer
When someone asks “how much does a video for my social media cost?”, they’re really asking several different things at once:
- Is it a one-off piece or do you need steady content?
- Is it just phone footage, or production with professional equipment?
- Do you need a drone, or is a camera on the ground enough?
- Is the editing simple, or does it have animated captions, graphics and crafted pacing?
Each answer moves the price. That’s why “from COP 500,000 per day” is the starting point, not the price of everything.
What a production day includes
With Galactic AIMA, a production day can include:
- Reels and TikToks with rhythm: animated captions, dynamic cuts and trends used well (not forced)
- FPV and cinematic drone aerials — included from that same starting price
- Scripted UGC and testimonials: the format that converts best because it doesn’t feel like advertising
- Commercial and product photography for catalogs or campaigns
When do you need a drone (and when not)?
A drone completely changes how a brand is perceived — but it isn’t for every business. It clearly makes sense if you sell:
- Spaces: real estate, hotels, country estates, commercial premises
- Experiences: tourism, events, outdoor sports
- Scale: plants, facilities, construction projects
If your business is, say, a neighborhood restaurant or a small shop, the drone probably isn’t the priority — the budget goes further on Reels with rhythm and UGC. We’ll tell you honestly before charging you for something you don’t need.
One-off day vs. monthly plan: which one fits
- One-off day (from COP 500,000): ideal for a specific launch, an event, or trying the format before committing to more.
- Monthly plan (from COP 1,500,000): for brands that post regularly — it’s more cost-effective per piece, and the content is planned with strategy, not rushed every time “we need to post something”.
A well-planned day usually yields several weeks of content: several vertical videos, photos and variations for ads — you shoot once and publish many times.
What pushes the price up
- Travel outside Medellín and its metro area (our base) — travel expenses are agreed separately, and made clear in the proposal.
- Complex pre- and post-production: elaborate scripts, multiple locations, editing with many graphic elements.
- Volume of pieces: more videos per day, more editing time.
What if I already have someone managing my social media?
Perfect — many clients only need quality material and already have someone handling the posting. You hire just the production. And if at some point you want us to also push that content with strategy and ads, the production plugs straight into our digital marketing — the material feeds the strategy instead of living on its own.
