Where is the video for solo shooters? Bro mentions it but then provides no link.
Where's the link for the solo shooting?
How of curiosity what about the AD's , would their date rate fall under the directors ?? or is that separate.
MY GUESS IS THOSE GUYS IN THERE 70's RENTED ALL THE EQUIPMENT. NO DAYS THE NETFLIX APPROVED Cameras are 4,5k. Does that make a difference?
Can you link your pricing strategy video that you discuss at the very end of this video?
Where do you find your hires? I’m a videographer in the Chicago area always looking for jobs
Could you post the link to the video you referenced at the end? On the topic of pricing for a solo video producer. Thanks!
these dp and director rates are a bit low my guy even for non union. dps should be bringing in min 1800 if they're good. 2500 to direct.
Very helpful
Really appreciate your content! 🙏
What do you charge for travel fees?
hi I'm stepping Into this market
This pricing represents the old model which I do believe is going away. The new model is about 75% cheaper. Director/DP, 1 lighting person, maybe 1 sound person. Total cost 2500. I've seen dozens of commercials being done this way since covid. I saw a guy with a gimbal and A7SIII take over a client from a company that used to charge 30K/spot. He charged 2k. Troubling signs for us all. At least in the local ad / YouTube ad space. I believe clients have started to wise up to the fact that showing up with a grip truck is a red flag when the dude in a Civic Hatch and backwards hat gives you basically the same quality at a value/dollar price point that make it seem nuts to be paying big money for anything. Clients all want 4 – 7 cuts now – vertical x 4 versions, YouTube cut, broadcast cut etc. Models are going to need to change if we are to survive!
Very helpful! My freelance (and now production company) has grown over the past year and your videos have been extremely helpful in my journey. Thank you for this
So something is very off here.
If you're a studio that rents out equipment and staff for shooting then Yes, have a price racket.
BUT if you're actually creating the project from start to finish then youre supposed to charge based on value that you're giving the client and not the labor.
Hey where can I find some examples of your work
Thanks for sharing
Thanks
If your day rate is at 1500$ and you say that the day rate starts when you arrive on location and ends when you leave. So what if you have to drive 3h to the location and another 3h to go back to your office? How do you charge those hours? And what about gear preparation. If you need half day for the preparation of your gear, do you charge anything for it and if yes how?
This gentleman is my go to for video production knowledge. No shucking and jiving just straight business!
I’m in Portland Oregon and i can say that your pricing breakdown is on par with commercial rates in my city. For a Gaffer and a Grip tho you’re most likely getting a sprinter package and that gear estimate seems a little high. I own a sprinter package and my gear budgets are usually 600-1000. I know there’s a lot of factors at play here but this has been my experience. Thanks for the great video. I think more people need to be open about rates and finances.
Hello,
it will be nice to see a video on how to price jobs for solo filmmakers in different levels
Very accurate! I should finally set up a internal pricing method
This one really helped, thanks for this!
Thank you Saj, Is there any way to contact you ?
Great video. Which one is the one you mention at the end that explains the same process but for a one man band production?
First video I’ve seen that accurately displays standard rates and procedures. This would have been perfect when I was just getting started. Definitely took some trial and error.
Also, talking with other crew folks above and below you is a great gauge for standard rates in your market.
Great info! Only thing I'd push back on is owner-operator day rates. For owner-operators it can be easier for clients to simply see one price including basic camera rig, mic, and a light or two.
Hey Saj, i'm a Content Manager that works in esports. Currently, I work for the #1 Madden Player in the world. I do all his BTS, YouTube, and social media. If you were in my position, what are the big questions you would consider? Would love to chat about this or have a discussion around this.
I know you literally just posted this and worked hard on it, but I'm looking for a video about the administrative aspects of directing a film. I'm working on a short that's near feature length and I'm wondering what kind of releases and NDAs to use, recommendations for organizing and categorizing certain information – you know – workflow outside of the video workflow. I know what I want to do on set and how, but I want to make sure I'm properly organized.
Thanks! And thank you for making this pricing guide!
Thanks for this – keep the videos coming!
