  time estimating

  Posted by Rap on September 24, 2007 at 4:45 pm

  hey guys, I always wonder if there is a way to estimate how long it’s gonna take to edit a movie?
  for example when you get a 30 minutes documentary to edit and the director asks how many days do you need to finish it, how do you calculate that?
  what about drama?
  how long would you give for editing the story
  fine cutting
  color correction

  thanks

  Sounds like a week.
  When quoting, I add the hours or days it otta take then just double it. Having the client in the room make it take exactly twice as long.
  unless they bring thier client.
