My Services
-
Text
From 50,000 words written in six months to a 2000-word essay delivered in a few days and 500-word news items delivered within hours, I deliver text on time while ensuring that the text sings with accuracy.
-
Photos
Whether on set or on location, I produce photo shoots both large and small. I prepare thoroughly to put my subjects at ease, resulting in honest portraits.
-
Video
I make documentary style videos that capture grand events, such as university commencements, and intimate moments, such as one-to-one interviews. Regardless, pre-production planning puts subjects at ease and post-production editing is where the magic happens.
Approximate Fees
-
Text services generally cost $1 to $2 a word, depending on the project scope. Content use will also play a role in the estimate, i.e.-commercial, nonprofit, or personal. Editing services run approximately $75 an hour.
-
Photography fees average $300 an hour with a two-hour minimum. Costs vary depending on the scale the project, whether equipment rentals are required, and assistant fees. Post-production Photoshop edits cost $100 an hour.
-
Video generally costs $1500 for one day of shooting, depending on the number of cameras needed, equipment requirements, production scale, and location. Editing is an additional $750 to $1000 per day.
Basic Video Example
-
This video was shot in two hours with no lights and was edited and delivered two days later.
-
An estimate for a video like this would be about $850
On Location Video Example
-
A video like this would take extensive planning, one day of shooting, and at least two days of editing.
-
A conservative estimate for this project would be approximately $3000, with additional costs for transportation and assistant fees, brining the total to about $3500.
Large Production Video Example
-
This is just one of ten videos. The production was shot in a studio with extensive lighting and set design. With ten other professors being interviewed, the pre-production took several days to organize utilizing project management platforms to keep the team up to date. Post-production edits were split between two editors that I project managed. The entire production from start to delivery took approximately one month.
-
Bearing in mind that this is one of ten interviews conducted over two days, with at least two weeks worth of edits, a conservative estimate for a project this scale would be about $15,000. Half the size, in time and interviews, could be about half the cost.
