What to Charge for ...
I'm sure this topic is somewhere in the fourms but I didnt see anything so I figured I would try it in the open discussion.
I have not taken on many jobs yet as I am still building / buying things for my video company, but from time to time I get a small job. LONG VERSION: A steel building company wants me to come film the construction of a small steel building (should take about 4 hours I'm guessing). What is the going hourly rate for camera operation (xl1s, bogen 501, no audio)? I dont think I will need to bring any lighting (maybe a reflector because it will be outside around midday) I have googled websites in my area that charge anywhere from $75-$250 an hour. I am assuming that cost is just for the filming and editing is seprate. After I get the footage I will bring it back to edit into a finished DVD. When finished the video will have an chapter menus, an intro with their logo etc etc. What is the going hourly rate for video editing? SHORT VERSION: Bassicaly my question are: - What is the going hourly rate for camera operation (xl1s, bogen / 501, no audio, Arri lighting kit if needed)? - What is the going hourly rate for video editing (vegas)? Thanks! |
I charge a hundred dollars a hour, and bill in one hour increments.
