  Rates and charging clients

  Posted by Nicholas Johnson on May 19, 2008 at 7:21 pm

  Hi guys,

  I’ve mostly just used my GL2 for helping friends out with videos but have had a few people inquire about costs for my services – what are some basic ranges of rates for shooter, camera, editing and editor services I can quote them?

  thanks!

  Depends on your experience, equipment and the quality of your work. Someone like me, with over twenty years of broadcast shooting and editing experience, HPX-500 (P2 HD camera) and high end edit system, I can charge well over $1000 a day.

  Based on your description, consumer camcorder and just starting out $10-$15 an hour.
