  • What is the price of work – BD authoring

    Posted by Roman Melekh on March 19, 2010 at 1:26 am

    I have a client who has a Scenarist BD + Scenarist Designer.
    He have all source files – videos, sounds, menus in Photoshop format.
    My job is only authoring/programming – main menu, popup menu, trailers, 3 audio tracks – simple disk 🙂
    What is the price of such work?

    I pretty do this type of stuff on an hourly rate. So how long with it take you x your rate. These days the rate is taking a nose dive.

    I normally reduce my rate if I’m the middle man, working for another production company. Thinking in the end the end client pays the correct rate with me and the other production company making money.

    Especially work an hourly rate in BD. Where a simple disc like this could take 1 day or perhaps 3 or 4 days based on unforeseen factors.

    The question was – how much cost the job.
    From beginning to end. 100 $? 500 $? 2000 $
    Calculation is not “hours”, just from A to Z

    Use your head Roman! 🙂

    Romans_hourly_rate=x;
    time_spent_on_project=y;
    cost=x*y;

    I can say the something like this would surely take a couple days from start to finish. You’ve invest 10s of thousands of dollars too so take that into consideration too.
