Below are affordable content-production options in Sri Lanka (freelancers + small local studios), plus quick tips to keep costs low. I checked local listings and freelancer marketplaces so you can contact them directly.

Freelance marketplaces — cheapest for editing, motion graphics, short-form content

• Upwork (many Sri Lankan editors/videographers posting rates from about US$5–$15+/hr). Good for ongoing editing, YouTube, social clips. (upwork.com)
• Truelancer and similar platforms — lots of Colombo-based freelancers offering low hourly/project rates (often under US$20/hr). Useful for single projects or repeat short videos. (truelancer.com)

Small/independent Colombo studios and production houses (budget-friendly, local crews)

• Clear — Colombo-based creative/video production team that offers brand videos, product videos and post-production (contact via site for quotes). Good mid-range option. (clear.lk)
• Ideaplus — digital/creative agency in Sri Lanka that does video production, social content and TV/radio ads; practical for small corporate/product videos. (ideaplus.lk)
• Nmedia Plus (Colombo) — local production house listed in Sri Lankan business directories (contact details available on the directory). Good for regional TV/commercial work. (dialus.lk)
• Earmind Studios (Hokandara) — small studio with filming/post capabilities listed in local directories. (dialus.lk)
• Synopsis Films (Nawala) — listed production company for corporate and documentary work. (dialus.lk)
• Minerva The Documentary Team — documentary/small-budget film maker listed with contact info in local directories. (dialus.lk, rainbowpages.lk)

Why Sri Lanka can be more affordable

• Sri Lanka is often a cost-competitive location for production — local crew and location costs are generally lower than many other countries, which helps keep overall budgets down. (If you need an international shoot, local service producers/fixers can negotiate rates.) (emergefilmsolutions.com)

Ballpark guidance (what to expect)

• Freelancers (editing, motion graphics, small shoots): commonly US$5–$25+/hour on marketplaces. (upwork.com, truelancer.com)
• Small local studios: for simple corporate/profile videos or short social clips you’ll often find quotes starting in the low hundreds of USD (exact price depends on crew, equipment, and shoot days). For multi-day shoots or TVCs, budgets rise accordingly. (Confirm prices with each vendor.) (emergefilmsolutions.com, clear.lk)

Practical tips to keep costs down

• Hire local freelancers for editing/post-production and do a short on-site shoot (1 day) rather than multi-day.
• Provide a clear brief, shot list and assets (logos/voiceover scripts) so shoot/edit time is minimized.
• Use stock footage and template motion-graphics where possible.
• Get 2–3 quotes and ask studios for small-package options (single-camera half-day shoots, basic edit, deliverables for social).

If you want, I can:

• Draft a short message/brief you can send to several Sri Lanka studios/freelancers to request quotes (e.g., deliverables, run time, intended platforms, deadline).
• Or produce a short shortlist (with direct contact links) tailored to a specific budget and project type — tell me your target budget and type of content and I’ll prepare it.
