Introduction: I’ve directed hundreds of short documentaries and marketing films for educational and cause-driven organizations and corporate leaders. I also directed an intimate, family-focused feature documentary. My personal focus is cinematography, but I manages a larger crew of video pros around the world. We recently shot in more than 15 countries. Our first step is to see if we can develop a flat rate to successfully complete your project.

Social Grinder worked on several projects for us at the Global Alliance for Improved Nutrition - from developing a global social media strategy to video training and production. Each time, they delivered excellent service, demonstrating an ability to quickly understand and meet client need.

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    Our first step is to have a conversation about your project and reserve any filming dates (with a 50% deposit). When possible, we offer a flat rate to deliver a successful project. If we decide to move forward on a time and materials basis, here are our rates for new customers: $695 - 8 hour filming day (includes me, camera and one mic) $395 - 4 hour filming day $350 - editing day $90 - second camera (Sony 4K)

  • What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

    An experienced videographer should be able to ask the right questions. A great video is useless without great sound - ensure you've talked about the microphones! Even if it's a brief conversation, make sure to discuss the type of people who will be watching the video - and how they'll watch it.
