Video Production

Design and Production

MSU Educational Technology’s Instructional Technology and Development team provides design and accessibility consultation and media production support for MSU departments. Services are free for all credit-bearing courses and at an hourly rate for non-credit, grant-funded, and other projects.

Consulting & Project Scoping

Initial consulting and project scoping with a Media Production Specialist and/or Instructional Designer are free to faculty, instructors, and administrative support staff.

Consulting and scoping may be helpful when looking to create your own media for a course or when investigating how much time and funds a project may require. Consulting and scoping can also help you determine whether to utilize in-house services or hire a local agency.

In addition to the consulting and scoping, you can hire a Media Production Specialist and/or MSU student to produce your video project (planning, recording, post-production, and delivery). Instructional Designers can also be added to the project to provide technology training or design consultation.

Production of videos for Credit courses is offered at no cost.

Production of videos related to Non-Credit, Grant, or Coursera courses is a paid service.

Full production services are priced per project, starting at:

  • $86/hour for full-time staff production
  • $46/hour for student production

Full production hours vary depending on the project.

Media produced using this service will conform to all university standards and policies, including branding, digital accessibility, copyright, and information security.

The Media Production team has a small studio in the Computer Center for your project needs, particularly for filming lecture style videos. Videos can be filmed against a white backdrop, green screen, or with a lightboard.
