FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
To me, it doesn't feel fair to accept the same amount of money for converting a tape that has 3 minutes of content, and a tape that has 3 hours. That's why I charge by how much content is on your tapes. General breakdown is below: $5/tape for less that 5m $10/tape for 6m-30m $15/tape for 31m - 59m $20/tape with 1hr - 1hr 59m $25/tape with 2hr - 2hr 59m $35/tape with 3+ hr *Additional cost for a USB with adequate storage **If a tape is damaged and requires me to open it up to fix, I charge an additional $5 per damaged tape. I do not record or charge for tapes that are duplicates of other tapes I have previously transferred. Unless otherwise instructed, I do not record tapes that have been recorded over with television programs or movies.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I will set up a call to go through how many tapes you have and give you a price estimate up front. We will discuss my process, file labelling system, how I ensure your tapes are cared for from start to finish, and what your final product will look like. How much time it takes for me to transfer the tapes is determined by how many tapes you have, but I do work rather quickly.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a Bachelors Degree in Film & Television production from NYU Tisch School of the Arts.
