GUIDE
A transparent breakdown of what drives video production pricing in Malaysia — so you can budget with confidence and get the most from your production spend.
Corporate video production in Malaysia ranges from RM 8,000 to RM 80,000+ depending on what you need. A simple single-camera interview or company profile sits at the lower end. A full brand film with multiple locations, professional crew, drone footage, and polished post-production sits at the higher end. Most projects for mid-size Malaysian companies land between RM 15,000 and RM 45,000.
Pricing is never arbitrary — every line item maps to a real resource. Understanding what drives cost helps you decide where to invest and where to simplify.
1. Number of shoot days
Each production day involves a full crew, equipment transport, setup and pack-down. One well-planned day can achieve a lot — but a project requiring multiple locations, interview subjects, or scripted scenes across different sites will naturally require more days.
2. Crew size
A minimal crew — director, camera operator, sound — covers most interview and company profile shoots. Larger productions add a dedicated lighting technician, production assistant, or director of photography. Each additional crew member adds to the day rate but also to the quality and efficiency on set.
3. Equipment
Cinema cameras, prime lenses, gimbals, drones, professional audio, and lighting rigs all add to the budget. Drone footage in particular adds a significant visual impact and is worth the cost for the right projects — but not every brief needs it.
4. Pre-production
A scripted corporate film requires a writer, storyboard, shot list, location scouting and talent casting. A documentary-style interview requires a research brief and question framework. Pre-production time is production value — skipping it costs more in reshoots.
5. Post-production
Editing, colour grade, sound design, music licensing, subtitles and motion graphics all sit in post. A straightforward talking-head edit is faster than a montage-driven brand film with custom graphics and sound design. This is often where the most significant quality difference shows.
6. Number of deliverables
One master video is a different brief to a master plus five social media cutdowns in four aspect ratios plus a subtitled international version. Planning for multiple outputs from the start is the smartest way to get more from your budget.
| Video type | Typical range (RM) | What's included |
|---|---|---|
| Testimonial video | RM 8,000 – 25,000 | 1 shoot day · 1–3 subjects · editing + colour |
| Company profile video | RM 12,000 – 40,000 | 1–2 shoot days · mixed interview + b-roll · motion graphics |
| Brand / corporate film | RM 25,000 – 80,000+ | Multi-day shoot · scripted · drone · full post-production |
| Social media video pack | RM 6,000 – 20,000 | 1 shoot day · 3–8 short clips · multiple formats |
| Documentary / series | RM 40,000 – 200,000+ | Multi-day/week production · research · full crew |
The single most effective way to stretch your production budget is to plan multiple deliverables from one shoot. One well-planned production day can deliver a 2-minute brand film, a 30-second social cut, two testimonial clips, and a podcast-style interview — all for roughly the cost of a single video if planned in isolation. SCM Asia builds this multi-output thinking into every brief.

FAQ
How much does a corporate video cost in Malaysia?
Corporate video production in Malaysia typically ranges from RM 8,000 for a simple single-camera interview up to RM 80,000 or more for a full brand film with multiple shoot days, scripted scenes, and professional post-production. Most projects for mid-size companies land between RM 15,000 and RM 45,000.
What affects the cost of corporate video production?
The main factors are shoot days, crew size, equipment (cameras, drones, lighting), pre-production (scripting, location scouting), post-production (editing, colour grade, motion graphics), music licensing, and the number of final deliverables. Adding drone footage or animation will increase the budget significantly.
How much does a company profile video cost in Malaysia?
A company profile video in Malaysia typically ranges from RM 12,000 to RM 40,000 depending on shoot days, locations, and post-production complexity. A single-day shoot with editing and basic motion graphics sits at the lower end; a multi-location production with drone footage and full post-production sits higher.
How can I get more from my video production budget?
Plan multiple deliverables from one shoot day. A single well-planned production can yield a hero brand film, social media cutdowns, and a testimonial clip — all for close to the cost of one video if planned correctly. SCM Asia builds this thinking into every brief from the start.
How long does corporate video production take in Malaysia?
Most projects take 3 to 6 weeks from briefing to final delivery — covering pre-production, filming, and post-production. Rush delivery is available for time-sensitive campaigns. We plan timelines in detail at the start so you always know what to expect.
