Hourly Rate difference between SD and HD?

[Ron Thompson]

Lot’s of good posts here and Matt, you’ll never get a straight answer.
Like many people said, it IS more expensive to work in HD. So you should charge for it.

Google the net to find an Excel file that offers production rates by filling out different variables… things like insurance cost, maintenance, equipment costs, operational costs, etc… After you fill out the cells, it calculates your rate.

I can’t put my hands on it now, but I know it exists. It was how I figured out my rates.

We’re all trying to make money in this FAST changing business that suffers for lower and lower budgets. If you have a skill that no one else has, charge for it!
