What would you charge?

Post by ChrisStone »

I have the opportunity to shoot a 30 to 40 minute interview for the federal government. This will be at the interviewee's house, (local) where I will set up 3 point lighting, a black background, audio via lavaliere mic and shoot in high def. No editing is involved, I just have to provide the raw footage and the interview questions are provided by the government.

Not having done anything like this before, I was wondering what y'all might charge for something like this.
Thanks for your input!

Hi Chris,

I have contracts like this on a regular basis. I would charge $400-$600 range.

Thanks for your input Joel. That price range sounds about right to me too.

A good method for charging could be based on the way Legal Videographers charge...Typically 1 camera $250.00 first hr $75.00 each additional of corse your milage may vary.
Never underestimate the other guys Greed...

Joel and Rick FYI - I got the job at 450.00

Having a federal government gig in my demo reel will help!
