I am basing these assumptions - always a dangerous game, I realize - on a "typical" B/G hardcore shoot costing anywhere from $800-$3000+ (based on whether it is POV, a whole crew, a small crew, etc).

WHERE a company is filming makes a huge difference, too. If it's in the USA (especially California or Florida) it's going to be way more expensive than in Czech Republic, Hungary or South America (or some parts of Asia).
