## A lean production estimate

Cost follows script readiness, interface capture, founder or user filming, motion graphics, voice, edit length and sales versions.

## B2B Startup Video Without Budget Waste

A B2B startup video does not need a large cinematic scope by default. A working interface, one buyer use case and a clear product claim can support the pitch; live action, motion design or CGI is added only where it supplies evidence the deck cannot show.

## One buyer and one use case

A startup video should focus on one use case, one buyer and the product proof available today. Prototype screens and unverified claims are marked before scripting.

## Showing the product that exists today

Motion design shows the working interface and product logic; post-production separates current functions from future-state visualisation. The useful package is usually a short pitch film, a lightweight version inside the deck and selected product fragments for follow-up. Current functions, roadmap scenes and investor claims are labelled separately during review, not blended into one future-state promise.

## What to defer until the product is stable

Avoid spending on cinematic scenes before the offer and demo flow are stable. Use a short test or interface-led explanation when product evidence is still limited.
