CELT's Video Production Group produces creative and cost-effective video productions
right here on Stony Brook's campus. Our award-winning video projects range from complex
multi-camera Studio shoots to Profile Videos and Live Streaming productions on-location.
Whether you're looking to document an event, or create a short-form creative video
or promo, our creative and flexible production team will make the process simple and
easy for you.
We’ll contact you to discuss each step of the video production process, including
expectations, due dates, deliverables, concepts, and budgets if applicable.
We’ve recently changed our service model to begin charging for video productions that
are not specifically supporting students' academic success.
Therefore, requests for videos will be reviewed and evaluated for consideration as
either Non-Billable or Billable.
To qualify as Non-Billable, the production must be course related, with the primary
audience of students and a message aimed at supporting student success. Non-Billable
videos need to directly support student academic success, videos that are to be used
for a course and referenced in the course syllabus.
All Non-Billable services will go through an approval process.
Fees ARE charged for non-instructional, non-academic functions, academic symposia,
conferences, for individuals and outside organizations, promo videos, ceremonies.
A Department Signatory and a chargeable Account Number are required for all Billable
requests.
If your project is determined to be BILLABLE, we’ll work with you to develop a budget.
A Budget Estimate/Agreement will be sent to you for signature and account number prior
to the start of production.
Production rates are based on the required crew, shoot days, and post-production days
required. Productions may require anywhere from 1 - 9 crew members, and production
time can take anywhere from 4 hours to 4 weeks. The more cameras and personnel, the
more complex the requirements, the higher the cost.
Our Producers will work closely with you to determine the production and staffing
needs based our discussions with you.

and notice given. However, we cannot guarantee coverage for events scheduled with
short notice or for editing changes to your video with less than two weeks notice.

planning to completion, depending upon the complexity of the project, production schedule,
