Thanks all. Basically it was a 2 hour shoot, 30 minutes uncut and I whittled it down to 10 minutes. I’ve only been working on it in my spare time, I work a full time job and did this on the sideline. I think that I’ve worked on it only maybe 8-10 hours so far in the past 2 weeks. This was the first job for this client and I did it to get my foot in the door and get something on my portfolio. They will require a 30 minute training video next so I will be sure to find out before hand how much I should quote and give you all the details. I didn’t have any other expenses, no employees, no overhead as my studio is setup in my dad’s house.

This was a good learning experience and I’m putting together a business plan to get my business off the ground. I hope to be more active on these forums and gain more experience in the corporate/commercial video world.

Does anyone charge per minute of finished video? I’ve seen some competitors charge like $250 per minute of finished/edited video. Is that a good rate to charge?
