What a project costs

Scope drives investment, not a rate card. A half day of event coverage and a campaign with several cuts are different jobs. The number belongs in a conversation about your date, your files, and how they will be used.

What changes between a half day and a campaign

Hours on site, how many cameras, how many finished pieces, and how many review rounds. A recap from one room is not the same work as a brand film with interviews, b-roll days, and picture lock. Travel and overnight change it again.

Included versus add-on

Pre-production, Adam on the day, an edit that matches the brief, and files for the uses we named are the core. Drone, extra cameras, rush, and extra stills are add-ons unless they are in the job from the start.

Licensing

Commercial use for the channels we name is part of the conversation, not a hidden line. Paid media, buyouts, and handing files to a third party for recuts get stated. If you need raw media, say so. If you need a tight set of finished files, say that instead.

Questions that come up

Why is there no public rate card?
Scope drives investment. A half day of event coverage and a multi-day brand film are different jobs. Numbers belong in a conversation about your date, crew, and cuts, not on a shopping grid.
What changes the investment?
Hours on site, number of cameras, travel, drone, rush, extra stills, and how many finished pieces you need. Licensing for paid media can change it too.
What is usually included?
Pre-production, Adam on the day, an edit pass that matches what we scoped, and files delivered for the uses we named. Drone, extra cameras, rush, and extra stills are add-ons unless they are in the brief.
