Pretty cool, asides from how much to make an app , wonder if there are other similar style projects. Ie for a website, book, anything else... A PH collection of How much to make X would be pretty cool at some point.

@benln Thanks!
I agree, it could make the world much better lol. Actually, @pickcrew replicated the How Much To Make An App to a Making a website one here: http://howmuchdoesawebsiteco.st/
These can be done for so many verticals. So it's definitely screaming "collection" ;)
@yoavush Awesome idea - these tools are incredibly handy. Great work and thanks for the shoutout :)

Hi Everyone and thanks @benln for the hunt.
I’m Yoav, Co-founder & CEO at @VeedMe and one of the creators of this tool.
At Veed.me, a video production marketplace, we get asked multiple times a day by clients “How much will it cost to make my video?" I actually get phone calls from friends few times a week, asking me for help in estimating their video costs before making it.
How Much To Make a Video is a side project/tool we built in order to help people estimate the cost of their video. Based on videos that were produced through our system, we built a gamified experience that should help in not only estimating the cost of a video, but also with understanding all the varied elements that go into producing a video for those who are unfamiliar with the process.
How Much To Make a Video was inspired by How Much To Make An App, built by Crew.
This is our second side project at Veed.me, following the success of @coverrco, our joint initiative with @CodersClan which was also launched here on awesome PH.
I’ll be happy to hear your comments and answer any questions, except for how much a video costs ;)

As I video producer I am super thankful you created this. Will also help for those that go "I have a $100 bucks and I'd like to make a commercial like that new apple one..."

@eddiedaroza Dude, this is the comment we were waiting for. Just showed it to my team, I hope you'll find it useful and we'll be more than happy to get some feedback as we know there must be a few things we should improve.

@yoavush cool.. I need to use your guys platform more.
I love it when a project comes to life and then it's not clear why no one did it before. Good job! (I just found out I was over paying...). Can you share insights into the cost estimation? Is it based on your platform?

@yuvalkaminka Thanks Yuval! and I really wish we would've done it earlier, could save so much time and so many misunderstandings.
The cost estimation is based on the videos that were produced on Veed.me, these are not the "low cost" videos that are being offered in different places but also not the high-end broadcast TV kind of commercials.
These are prices of smaller production companies and individuals who are very often just as talented as the big ones.. so with our estimator you'll get anywhere between $1500 - $14000 for a super video.
I'm sure we have a lot to improve even though so far we're positively surprised by the good responses for its accuracy :)

@yoavush Did you create this in house or did you use a PHP script or WP plugin? If so, could you share what that was?
Hey Yoav, congrats on the hunt!
Just went through the wizard, nicely done. Very focused and intuitive.
As for the concept, that's an great idea that should've been thought of a long time ago :)
I think that understanding the budget ballpark for video production is a major advantage for both client and creators. Matching expectations is very important for a healthy production process.
I wish I had such wizards for everything that I buy!
Good luck!

@ygurzeev Hey! thanks for the nice words!
As you just said, and probably know from your own business - Setting expectations is one of the biggest challenges in making a video and I'm glad you found the experience we created here, intuitive and focused for that matter.
I wish we'd thought of it long time ago as well, would've saved me and my team SO much time :)
