FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I try to price things per project. I want to be sure I can give my clients the best of my abilities within their budget. I don't want to charge you an arm and a leg for something you won't end up using because maybe a package I had fit your budget. Lets have a real conversation about your needs and what you want out of this experience and go from there. I will most likely ask "How much are you looking to spend?" Or "What's your budget?" This is me trying to give you the best I can within your budget not squeeze every penny I can out of you. I want you to get the most out of your dollar you can and I want to make something of quality to be proud of.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Typically I try to have coffee with you first thing to break the ice a bit or a phone call if my point of contact is remote. I then will try to figure out your overall goals and how making a video will help you achieve that goal. If you don't know, that's no problem! I am here to help with that too. Regardless we will figure out what success means for the video(s) and identity specific and measurable "Success Metrics." I do this because it not only helps me know what to focus on, but also gives you the tools you need to know I am doing the job in the way you need it done, so if something starts going off the rails we can easily reevaluate, find the issue, and make a new plan. After that, We move into idea development and nail down what exactly we are going to capture. From there I will draw up the proper pre-production and we then set shoot dates. Then its all pretty basic stuff. I start the edit, show you drafts of the piece(s), I get feedback from you, and make changes. We will have a few back and forths in the revisions process and finally you have your video(s)!
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I went to a trade school during my high school years for cinematography for two years and once I graduated I started working on my own client projects while also being apart of bigger teams putting together high budget commercial pieces and documentary films. Most if not all my training comes from doing the work and understanding when and how I made a mistake, and learning from it. Self-awareness especially in such a diverse and creative field can go along way.
