FAQs
- What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Every job is different. Does a day of shooting happen in one place or is it a dozen set ups. Do we need a crew of three or four or can it be shot with one videographer? Are there sound issues that need to be taken into consideration? What are the Lighting needs? The length of the finished work effects the time it takes to edit. Is there a script? It is best to sit down and get the whole picture so we can quote the project correctly.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
A preliminary meeting at EMA or at the clients office will help each get an idea for what is involved in the project. Then EMA will provide a quote for the work. Once that is accepted, we can figure out a production schedule for shooting and editing the project.
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Ed Mellnik has degrees in Communications and Electronics. He has taught video production for many years through the NW Film Center, ANd SW Oregon Museum of Science. He goes to NAB (National Association of Broadcasters) every year to stay up on the latest equipment and techniques.
