Introduction
I’ve directed hundreds of short documentaries and marketing films for educational and cause-driven organizations and corporate leaders. I also directed an intimate, family-focused feature documentary. My personal focus is cinematography, but I manage a larger crew of video pros around the world. We recently shot in more than 15 countries. Our first step is to see if we can develop a flat rate to successfully complete your project.

Dave was great to work with! He was very responsive and helpful during the planning process. On the day of the shoot, he went above and beyond to make sure we got great footage. I'd highly recommend him for any company looking for high-quality, professional video.

Social Grinder worked on several projects for us at the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition - from developing a global social media strategy to video training and production. Each time, they delivered excellent service, demonstrating an ability to quickly understand and meet client need.

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    Our first step is to have a conversation about your project and reserve any filming dates (with a 50% deposit). When possible, we offer a flat rate to deliver a successful project. If we decide to move forward on a time and materials basis, here are our rates for new customers: $695 - 8 hour filming day (includes me, camera and one mic) $395 - 4 hour filming day $350 - editing day $90 - second camera (Sony 4K)

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    An experienced videographer should be able to ask the right questions. A great video is useless without great sound - ensure you've talked about the microphones! Even if it's a brief conversation, make sure to discuss the type of people who will be watching the video - and how they'll watch it.
