    Because FCP’s speed changes tear up the video so, You might want to think about doing it in AE. Either way, slow it down to your liking or strobe it to get the vibe ya want.

    You wont base his rate from a percentage of your bid. You’ll just agree on an hourly rate or flat price for the shoot. You know the usual half day rate is 400 bucks and you also know most wedding videographers don’t adhere to freelance production rates. Most of the time, they’ll do it for 35 bucks an hour because they are trying to get into production. Negotiate a price that benefits you and keeps him happy.

    I usually word it something like, “I can do the whole enchelada and have it to ya by the end of tomorrow for 2500 bucks.”
    For years I really thought people wanted break downs in proposals. They just want a price. I cut to the chase and respond in real time rather than dragging it out while they collect other bids.

    Just a field where it states how much they’ll be out of pocket. You could tell em that without killin’ a tree, man.
    If they talk about return, just laugh like you think they are kidding.

  • All artistic majors are gonna offer courses for sleeping or getting other things done, man. Theory is a fine one for that.

    Kind of trips me out in this day in age. Every now and then I’ll have a potential client wherever, who runs away because I am not sitting in their suite. I could see that being a problem in the 80s, I guess but today? really?
    It becomes an easy way to weed out those who can’t evolve with the industry here.

    naaaa. Contracts are sunjective to folks who dig em. For this reason, I always skip em. If they furnish one and you are ok with it, sign it and call it done, otherwise revise it than sign it and call it done.
    This is a big reason why I skip em. I’d rather spend my time on the clock making video.
