The economics of content production have fundamentally shifted. If you’re still budgeting $10,000+ per video, you’re competing with one hand tied behind your back.

The Old Economics Were Broken

For decades, professional video production was gatekept by cost. A single corporate video required a scriptwriter, videographer, editor, and weeks of production time. The minimum viable budget was $5,000 — and that got you something mediocre.

This meant that only large companies could afford consistent video content. Small and mid-sized businesses were locked out of the most engaging content format on the internet.

What Changed

Three technologies converged simultaneously in 2025-2026:

  1. AI Script Generation — Large language models can now write broadcast-quality scripts that match your brand voice, complete with scene descriptions, timing, and visual cues.

  2. AI Avatar Presenters — Services like HeyGen produce photorealistic human presenters that speak naturally in any language. No actors, no studios, no scheduling.

  3. Programmatic Video Rendering — Tools like Remotion turn configuration files into finished videos — with transitions, data overlays, music, and professional typography.

Combined, these tools produce a professional video for $2-5 in AI processing costs. Total production time: 15-30 minutes.

The Strategic Implications

When video costs drop by 1,000x, the strategy changes completely:

  • Volume becomes viable. Instead of 2 videos per quarter, you produce 30 per month.
  • Testing becomes free. Try 10 different approaches and keep what works.
  • Personalization scales. Create industry-specific, role-specific, even company-specific videos.
  • Speed wins. Respond to trends, news, and opportunities in hours, not weeks.
