FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is published and it does not move. It is the same on every platform and the same number for everybody. It does not change based on who you are or how big the name is. Two hours of filming is $329. Six hours, which is my full day, is $629. Both include every raw file from the shoot plus vertical cuts sized for your feed. Extra hours past that are $75 each. The longer you book me, the cheaper the hour gets. Two hours works out to around $165 an hour. A full day works out to around $105. If you want photos alongside the video on the same booking, that is $150 for 20 edited shots. That is the whole list. No quote games, no haggling, no surprise line at the end. You know the number before I show up, and it is the same number when I leave.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
First I find out exactly what you need. Not a long questionnaire, just a real conversation about what is happening, what you want out of it, and where it is going to be posted. Then we agree on the time and on what has to be shot. How long I am there, and the list of things that cannot be missed. That takes the guesswork out of the day for both of us. Then I show up and we film. We look at footage together while we are shooting, so you are not waiting until the end to find out what it looks like. When the time is up, you get the files. Onto a drive on the spot, or uploaded to whatever cloud you already use. Either way they are in your hands the same day, and they are yours. You own the footage.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Self-taught, all of it. I got my first camera as a gift in high school, back before Instagram was really a thing, and I have put around 2,500 hours of my own study into this since then. YouTube university, legitimately. Then I bought gear and used it, upgraded the gear and used that, and talked to people who were already doing this to see how they worked. After that it was just projects. A lot of them. Some went well, some lost me money, some I flat out got wrong. Trial and error, over and over. Now I shoot over 300 Reels a year. That is a lot of filming, and that is where the experience came from.
