EMS is dedicated to provide high quality, convenient and low cost service. However, to cover costs of equipment maintenance and stock material, it is necessary to charge service fees.

The following is for estimating production rates only. All projects will be assessed individually by Engineering Media Services. Final production costs will be influenced by grades of simplicity or complexity. Also the final productions costs will be influenced by the:

Targer audience and required video format quality level
How the content can best be visualized conceptually
Time needed for research and scripting by the writer/producer
Organizational ability and teaching experience of the content expert
Use of computer animation, lab experiments or out of studio footage for video cutaways and their production time
Logging and Editing time

The following costs are production rates, not completed video rates
