I have been approached about shooting the next season of our local National Women's Football Association team that is sanctioned by the NFL. There will be 4 home games and 4 away games with the possibility of a bowl-type game. The games must be filmed and sent to the oposing team for the following week or the team will be charged $450 the first time and it increases from there if it happens again.
The general manager is asking me to shoot each game with one camera to meet the rules. He has also asked me to come to a few practices and shoot some b-roll footage during practice and a few games and assemble a season overview/highlight type reel or short documentary about the season.
Of course they will need to pay my travel expenses to the away games, but my question: is anyone here doing this or have any idea what I might need to charge? They get their money from coporate sponsors and as this is still a pretty new concept, he even said to me they have to spend some money to make some money (meaning; promotional dollars to get butts in the seats).
The season runs on Saturday nights from May through the first of July which means I would probably have to turn down most weddings during that time. Weddings are not my main focus and my most expensive package is only 1k, but I do need to consider some lost revenue because of the time of year. There would not be hardly any editing for just sending the games to other teams, beside the highlight reels.
Any thoughts or comments?
