FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Please don't be afraid to give us a budget range. We want to work with you and we'll both save time and money if you can give us a range. My goal is provide you with the most creative, effective video as your budget will allow. I've been in the business for over 25 years because I'm flexible when working with my customers and their budgets. For shooting/camera crews we can charge hourly, half day and full day rates. Rates start at $125 per hour and range to $175 per hour for a single camera (2 hr. minimum) Editing and graphic production rates start at $95 and range to $225 per hour. As a full service provider, we can often save you money if you shoot and edit with us, and we do offer discounts to customers that do both with us. We also often offer discounts when your projects require extensive graphics or editing hours, sometimes up to and over 50% off our hourly rate discounts. Again - WE WANT YOUR BUSINESS!
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Meet or have a call with the customer and determine your goals for the video and develop a timeline. We find our who your audience will be and how/where the video will be viewed. What is the result you're looking for after people view your video...what do you want them to do - call you? email you? click on another tab on your web-site? learn something new? Develop a budget range by determining the variables for the estimate - time shooting - hrs. /days - location or shooting in our studio - Are there travel expenses ( we shoot all over the US and Canada) Talent Fees - on screen or voice-over talent fees Complexity of graphics or animations required for your video - logos, 2D and 3D renderings, etc. How long is your final master? And will you require RUSH fees?
