FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
We have a standard rate per tier of services that varies according to the level of planning, equipment, personnel and complexity.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Upon meeting with a new customer, we ask the client to describe as best as they can, their vision for the project. We then explain how the process of making that vision into the end product will go to determine if just a videographer is needed, or a crew. Does the project require a director? A writer? Special Lighting? Then we plan the shoot accordingly scheduling the personnel and equipment that is required. Not all projects require excessive planning. For instance, a standard documentary style wedding shoot would only require one or two videographers, a small lighting package, and an editor, Whereas other projects may require all or some of the above. We set out to provide you the best end product while charging the most reasonable prices.
