"I have a company called Rumba Fitness. We do personal training, boot camps, dance classes, etc. We would like to produce a work-out dvd that we can sell to our clients, as well as over our website to anyone interested. We would like for it to be approximately an hour long. Do you do that sort of thing? Could you give me an idea of how much something like this would cost? We would not need any actors or audience. We may need studio space, or we may be able to use the studio we are in. If you could give me an approximate cost, I would appreciate it. I'm just trying to get a general idea of how much something like this costs."
