MOVIE FX MAGAZINE ADVERTIZING RATES

"It's great to see a magazine focusing on the Visual FX Industry in a DVD format."
Phil Tippet, Academy Award winning Special FX artist


ADVERTISING RATES
Movie FX Media is now offering advertising on its DVD magazine. As of the 2nd issue, we are a nationally distributed DVD periodical and ads will be integrated in two ways: They will appear randomly at the end of story segments (to insure their visibility) and also in alphabetical order in our Advertiser Index section, which is shown as a button on the main menu.

Unlike other traditional magazines that generally charge around $2,000 for 1/4 page black & white ad, Movie FX offers substantially more for substantially less. For a listing of the different types of full screen color ads (including full video commercials), please see Rate Sheet below.

All advertising is handled by our Los Angeles office. To place an ad, or for more information, please contact:

ADVERTISING RATE SHEET

All rates are introductory rates. However, for a short period of time, we allow advertisers to take advantage of these rates by committing to the placing of the ad from 1 issue up to 4 issues. All ads must be prepaid in full.

1. VIDEO CLIP (30 seconds).
$ 1,500
(to discuss rates for more than 30 seconds, or for us to produce your clip, please contact SL@moviefxmag.com)

If you have a reel, or complete commercial, we will digitize and install the entire video, which will be featured on the DVD in 2 ways:

  1. randomly, at the end of one of our featured story segments
  2. in alphabetical order in our interactive Advertiser Index. This way, the audience can specifically select to repeatedly view your clip, without being forced to view an entire story segment each time.

All submissions need to be made in NTSC standard. Standard conversions (e.g. PAL to NTSC) are possible, but will incur an additional charge, (see added rates in parenthesis below). Due to the high resolution image standard of the DVD format, we recommend for you to submit your clip in one of the following formats:

  • Betacam SP (PAL / SECAM: add $ 125)
  • DV Cam or Mini-DV (PAL / SECAM: add $ 125)
Naturally, we can also convert 3/4" tapes, but we ask you to refrain from using that format, as you will not be able to take maximum advantage of the DVD output. Sorry, no 1/2" (VHS) submissions, please.

2. BANNER
$ 650

We offer two types of Screen ads / banners:

2.1. BANNER, REGULAR
A Screen Ad / Advertising Banner to be provided by you will be installed on the DVD. Screen ads must be submitted in the following format: 720x480, 300 dpi.

2.2. BANNER WITH VOICE OVER
(up to 30 seconds; for longer voice clips, please contact SL@moviefxmag.com) Same as above (2.1.), but with an optional Voice Over (V.O.) track. If you do not have a video clip available, you may want to consider posting a banner with an added voice over, in order to take some advantage of the audio-visual format. V.O. must be submitted as a .WAF file or on a DAT tape or you may submit a script and we will record the V.O. for you. Rates to be added to the banner rate for added V.O. tracks are as follows.

  1. $ 95 if provided by you (.WAV or on DAT)
  2. $ 195 if produced by us (based on your script / ideas)
Data may be submitted 2 ways:
  1. Via e-mail: SL@moviefxmag.com
  2. Via regular mail:
