FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
These are my rates for videos: $1500 for a half day shoot (1-4 hours) + 1-2 min edit $2500 for a full day shoot (4-8 hours) + 2-5 min edit
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The "CertaPro Painters Indianapolis" video that is on my Thumbtack media gallery is one video that I'm fond of. This particular video took about 8 hours to shoot and about 12 hours to edit. I think it's a good representation of what I can do with an 8 hour shoot.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Ask to see some work that they did everything on (directing, shooting, audio, editing). Changes in the video production industry has really forced people to be "Jacks/Jills of all trades". I'm assuming that most people are looking for "one man bands" and not a 3-4 person production team if they are looking on this site. Make sure that the samples that you are seeing are ones that represent what that person can do by themselves, not with 2-3 other people helping them.
