FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is based off of the following criteria: - The type of services requested (photography, videography, etc.) - The number of hours of your event. - The number of staff requested to cover your event. - The type of deliverable requested. (USB thumb drive, Blu-Ray Disc or External Hard Drive for delivery of RAW video files). - Time for additional pre-production (common in more elaborate video productions). - Rental cost for specialized equipment and permits. (i.e. Anamorphic lenses, dolly cranes, etc.) If a particular production requires more elaborate setup for the shoot, this will be noted in the quote and the hourly rate will be billed accordingly.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to have a phone call with my customers to understand their needs and try and get a sense of what they didn't state in their initial request for services. I also like to understand what tone they want conveyed in the final deliverable; (humorous, stoic, lighthearted, etc.) so I can cater any edits to help support this vision.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
There isn't any formal certification you can get outside of collegiate level coursework or on the job training. I have worked on over two dozen short films and two indie feature films as either the Director of Photography, or 1st and 2nd AC, respectively. I shot dozens of promotional videos, commercials and infomercials for several small businesses, and political candidates.
