Sometimes our customers ask us why are there costs involved? The NewMedia Centre is part of our university and normally we do not pay for university services. The NewMedia Centre is an exception. 

The NewMedia Centre gets, like all other university departments, a yearly lump sum amount. All NMC employees receive their salary (yes, we do get paid for our great work), we can afford some new equipment and pay for some licenses we need for media production.  But to stay up to date in equipment, software and hardware, to afford repair or hiring of extra temporary personnel, we do charge costs for part of our services.

Don’t worry! Our rates are still less than the commercial prices offered by the industry and thereby making it very appealing and accessible for teachers and researchers to use our media production services.

And be aware! All our services intended for students are for free!

We have fixed hourly rates for most of our services:

• Use of our green screen studio costs € 200 per hour or € 500 per 4 hours (and in that time you can make as many videos as are possible)
• Video Editing, creating Extended Reality environments/objects, Graphic Design, 360-video recording, audio-edits for podcasts, all costs € 40 per hour

In case you need a video shoot on location, or you want media support for your live events, costs are depending on the amount of equipment that is needed to fulfill your wishes. In these cases, we can always make a cost estimation after an intake interview.
