I have three different packages, but I just started. $150 for run-n-gun, one location shoots, $350 for 1-2 locations & $500 for 3-4 locations with SFX & transitions. 6 day turnaround on the edits & 5 revisions.

@Minhute 2 жыл бұрын

Nice packages!! My 1000 is up to 2 locations, and I do a $500 for a one location up to 4 hours : )

You will change thst real quick. Once you start color grading and doing more higher quality video. Hours of shooting and days of editing. You’re definitely under selling yourself

I live in Costa Rica and my base price by now is $1200 for a very simple music video. I charge from 3500 USD to 5000 USD and even it could be more if its something bigger. Nice video!

My base price as of now is $850 - $1000 but im "looking out" for an artist in my area and shooting it for $300 this weekend, BUT I look at it as a win/win. Yeah im taking a hit on the money, but i can add this project to my reel, and im gonna do spin off BTS video based on shooting super low budget music videos.

Definitely! And its all about whether or not you want to do it haha, sometimes theres artists who expect that but are just so disrespectful lol.

Thx for sharing man, my story is somewhat similar. How do you about collecting? Is it half up front and the remaining when you finish filming/edit? What about contracts? Thanks again.

@Minhute 2 жыл бұрын

I usually do 30% deposit! Contract etc depends on the total amount and if I feel like I really need to have one haha. The remainder of payment has to be given before delivery of final.

I would probably just charge my minimum because those are minimal effort tbh haha. Depends on the locations and how far away they are

When they book you for the music video, do you have to make the arrangements with the location and extras? Or does the artist take care of that?

@Minhute Жыл бұрын

The thing is while you up your price, sometimes yes you’ll lose some clients but you make up for lost clients with the extra income. Like charging $1,000 I can work less than when I charged $500 but 2x less. If I worked the same as when I charged $500 I would make 2x the amount. So I make more with less work.

Hey David, what if you do a music video on consignment? Like you don't free to get payed a percentage of what the video would make in the future, is this a thing ? Or am I speaking to the air

It depends! You can definitely make those terms but it also depends on the client. Most of the time people don't end up doing this though.

@@Minhute right understood, I asked because in today's world everybody is an artist and there's so many who are on a low budget, I've been editing videos and pics for a long time now just never actually did my own stunts (camera man) and now I got into videography to widen up my income 👍
