Hi guys I am sorry to be as rude as to abandon my own thread for nearly two days like that when you were are gracious enough to try and help me out on yet another “How much should I charge thread”.
First off I am really thankful, each of your comments added that little extra something to helping really realize what I was gonna be bidding for. As I said before the projects we have been undertaking lately have been in that very manageable and time tested 5-10K range that I am much more familiar with, and a very large project like this was just dangerously new waters. That being said I really like to think that we are up to the task. Yesterday morning after I had posted my thread I sent an email to the contact for the bid to try and maybe clear up some of the ambiguity that I had and that you guys have all ended up showing concern over also. The most glaring questions I had to ask about was the format, state of the footage and the extent of the graphics work, and a more clear understanding of the time table they are proposing. After reading the comments I have received I see that those were pretty on point but I have now formed a couple more that I will be sending a follow up email about. I did receive a quick reply this afternoon that answered nothing directly but said that they would gather more of the information I had asked more quickly and then pointed me at a video from another company they are using as inspiration and as a “driving guide” whatever they want to mean by that.
Here is that video. Its interesting.

Again I thank you each for responding and being so forgiving with a new comer to something like this.
