It’s always easy to spot a shooter on gear he did not pay for.
While I’m very hard on a camera, I would have just laid down with my arm up and rocked on in that case. I only kill cameras when the shot makes it worth it… and when I purchased the camera.

How do you deal with a unbearable non understanding client that pays well?
I don’t. I simply measure if the pay is worth any non-fun moments in the workflow. It it isn’t, I’ll just be booked the next time they call. If it is, we’ll it’s worth it and therefor quite bearable. -
doesnt sound like an upgreade is needed yet, man.

They pay too little tp begin with. I shoot the ceremony, the reception, and make a cool video out of the above… even if they can’t come up with 5 grand. There is no template. If there were, They’d stick to a real budget.

Maybe I’m, not quite sure what you are asking.
When making one of these for a fitness group, you’ll adhere to their marketing objectives while pretending to aid them. If venturing into a mon-ey sinking pesonal venture, just focus on your favorite things while wasting your money. It doesn’t really matter, your loss will be the same no matter what you focus on, really. -
Lots of good points in there.
It’s easy to measure ROI when it comes to networking. Sometimes it’s not easy to put a value on the exposure proper social media offers.
I think today, many just put little blue icons on their web pages as a way to say I’m contemporary. I can admit that to a certain extent, I mean, my social networking sites often act as literal demos. Often, I find myself creating turn-key ad campaigns for small businesses… who usually have never dabbled in social media. I can skip television media buys and quote them a flat bid for the spot(s) and the creation/maintenence of youtube, twitter, and facebook presences… and have sent new clientele to existing client’s sites and my own as examples when pitching.
Bottom line, I feel I at least need to be able to offer clients complete fullfillment and today, that includes social media. This is a wonderful thing. It’s today’s easiest way to remain top of mind with that client on an on-going basis rather than shake a hand and await another phone call. -
No, Mike. I am 5 hours North. I just went down there to help. I made the video to keep it top of mind. We have ADD as a society but these folks will be rebuilding for many years to come. Never have I seen anything like it.

I do a lot of EPKs for local and prominant artists. I’m doing one tonight for a local fella who had a small budget. Just a flat $1500. Sounds rediculasly cheap but more than that and he’d a bounced and honesty, I’ll have less than 10 hours int he thing by the time I’m done. I base my flat bids on my hourly rate multiplied by how long it’ll take me, with a few hours sprinkled on top for revisions. Simple math and, honestly, next to motorsports, music is my favorite thing to tear into. I’m gettin paid to play tonight. That’s how I look at it.

It’s not all that hard of a question. We all know the best way to weed out a client is to raise rates. It boils down to: do ya wanna keep doing work for em or do you not have the time for them anymore?
Nobody can answer that question but the person asking it. In my world, I’m freakin tickled that decade old clientele can still handle my rate. When I bid flat rates on projects for new clientele I try hard to givemyself a raise. I do that by working faster, not based on a higher hourly rate. -
You just stick to your hourly rate and let them pay as many of your bills as they like.
