MONEY TALKS -- NOBODY WALKS.
Basically, we're talking extremely affordable, but not cheap.
For shooting, it's a full day rate (more than 5 hours, up to 10 hours) or a half-day rate (anything up to and including 5 hours) that includes all gear, and whatever size crew is needed to accomplish the job. If you are a "reseller" -- such as an ad agency, PR firm or a TV station, you get a 15% discount off of that. If you are a non-profit, you get 20% off. No hourly billing for shooting. A flat rate for a given project is an option, assuming the parameters are firm. This includes up to 3 HD cameras, dolly, jib, all sound gear, lighting, grip and electric. Prompter, voice talent and makeup are billed additionally.
Editing is billed in much the same way, with the rate including an Avid Media Composer edit suite and editor, with ProTools digital audio workstation, all music, sound effects, logo animation and effects included. For editing, hourly rate is available if required.
Still wondering what it'll cost? A typical 30 second local commercial currently runs under $5,000. Some examples on the "Work" page were even less - check them out.
