FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Every project is unique, so our pricing has to be too. We generally base our pricing off of the length of deliverables and how much time our videographers need to be on location. Our day rate for commercial production is $1050 and includes our company's entire gear set as well as a videographer and production manager on site for up to 10 hours. Our half-day rate is $650 for up to 5 hours on site. Editing rates can be flexible as well but our base rate is $50/hour. Please reach out to us and discuss your project with us so we can accurately put together a quote based on the scope of your project.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Communication is key. Once we begin a relationship with a new client, we try to keep the lines of communication as open as possible. Every project we take on is unique and we want to cater to the clients' distinct wants and needs. A Pre Production meeting, whether in person or via phone, is vital. We want the client to feel confident that are going to provide the exact end product they want and feel comfortable discussing changes in scope as they may occur. This is a creative process, so let's have fun!
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Since production technology and standards are constantly changing, we're continually updating our knowledge. Our staff at DF Production Services regularly use and train on a wide variety of camera systems including Blackmagic, Sony, Panasonic, and RED. We further strive not to limit ourselves to any set of skills. If a client needs a piece of equipment or a production process that we're not familiar with, we jump to undertake research and prepare ourselves so that every production runs seamlessly.
