” I would bill hourly for everything as much as possible. That way, you reward them for having their act together because it makes the work go faster and thus cost less each time they improve. ”
yes i would agree to this, but the client brings everything at the day before it’s due . then it is a stop and go i do the edit and have to wait to hear back and sometimes it goes late into the evening. i think part of the reason that he brings it to me at the last second is that his client takes long on his end to approve the creative. another reason is that i only have so much time to work on this job. i do charge him by the hour and if he only gives me so many hours that’s the rate of the job. but at times i feel the job is worth a lot more they are tv commercials for decent clients of his not big budget but not that low. i now ask him for c.o.d and i think if i charge a rush and the c.o.d it will bring up an argument, what do you think?
he still has to pay me a lot of money from last year that he has never got from his client. i’m still waiting for that, he say’s he will make me an offer once the client offers him. so now it’s c.o.d till everything gets resolved. any suggestions for me?

it’s no really important to cut show instead of tv spot, i really like the ad world, the only reason that i want to cut the show is because the work is steady, and i don’t have to chase for the money. do i charge over time for the show, what are some good pointers for negotiations during the meeting? I want 60 per hour
i think they might pay 30 per hour . -
i know it’s low but i live in toronto canada , don’t know if people would pay $750 per day for a reality show. what do you suggest that i try to work out, how should i approach the meeting to try and get as much money as possible? i don’t have much experience in cutting shows but have tones of experience cutting tv spots. i work with fcp and after effects. what would be a good rate to charge with my gear and without my gear? is there anything that i should be aware of going into the meeting. how should i approach this to try and get as much as possible. i think that they want to flat me out for the week and dont know how long the contract would be yet. is it right to say so much money would give you so many hours, and over 50 hour’s is it common to charge overtime rate and if so how much, also is it common to charge more money for working on the weekends….please help

I know my studio rates are $175 per hour, but it’s not everyday. at the moment i only have one client the brought me about 16k worth of work this year. do i take the series or pass it up? what is the going rate for editors on a series working at there place using there equipment? i can charge extra in it’s in my studio but how much extra? i spoke to another editor there and i said i would ask for about 600 per day for working on the show he said no way they will never pay that much. what do i do? my clients bring me work but its last min stuff all the time, do i take a more stable gig and do my clients ant night? this is a very hard decision for me. or do i tell my clients about i might be booked on a show for a long time and tell them that they need to give me more time with there project. but everything has been last min for about 4 years i can never get a schedual from them they just say next week sometime you will start my job. if i’m in another editing house and my clients need my during the day what do i do? this is very hard.
just thinking if i take freelance at another editing house i might meet other contractors in the business and that might give me more work at my studio, even if they are offering me a lower rate for the steady work. i want to try and plan a family soon and just need some steady cash. what kind of rate should i charge the studio and do i keep my existing clients? please help. -
the company that is doing the show pay there editors about 1,500 per week as a flat rate. should i tell them that includes about 50 hours, i think people get paid less if your working on a long term show, is that right? i do charge 50 per hour on commercial and corporate is the price the same for television? what should i be asking for? and i do have a edit suite in the basement, it’s a full suite same as most bigger production companies in the city. I charge 175 per hour for me and my suite. does the price change if i’m going to be editing a tv show compared to the commercials that i have been doing?
