If you need to produce a video and it's not something you want to do in-house then you really have two options. You could approach a video production company, or you could find a talented freelancer to handle the project. Both come with their merits and drawbacks. Here's a comparison of the two options. Yes, a freelancer will be the more cost effective option. If your project is budget-sensitive then hiring a freelancer to produce it will be the best option. They don't have the fixed costs of premises and staff to cover and the cost benefit will be passed on to you, the client.

If you hire a freelancer and they are unwell or unable to attend your shoot day then there's not much you can do about it. They may know someone who can stand in for them but this won't always be the case. If you hire a production company then they will have backup and crew options should a member of their team become ill and not able to attend the shoot. Any business or company needs systems of work and operation.
