| Soph | Posted – 6/21/2007 9:31:08 AM | show profile | email poster Hello I?m pitching a 5-minute video spot elaborating on a print piece to a women?s fashion magazine website. Does anyone know the going rate ? footage per minute, or per finished piece ? for video? And is travel always / sometimes / never covered? Many thanks Soph |

Not quite sure how other pubs do it, since video is fairly new for our company, but that might be a start. |

Or something more complex with a full crew? Location shooting where you'll need to find local crews? Editing with lots of graphics and effects? Music? VO? Basically, there is no "going rate." There's "this is how much money we have-what can you do for us?" I've worked on 5:00 shorts that cost $15,000 or $20,000 as well as your basic talking head roll-in for around $600 or $700. Like the previous poster mentioned, an independent production company is nearly always hired to produce these types of things because of the variables. |
