Hello Everyone,
How much are our professional services worth?
I am currently restructuring my business plan as now I am able to offer video for most of my clients.
I have always sold aerial still imagery as I used a 21' helium airship with a NikonD300s attached to a gimbal. Great still photography but obviously no mobility for video.
As the regulations have changed in Canada, I decided to purchase the Inspire 1. The weather is not quite good enough to shoot sell-able footage but I do have 3 major clients committed to shoots in the next month. 1 is a Real Estate property; 2 is a large mansion with infinity pool, barn, lots of acreage and lakefront, and 3 is a golf course. These are clients that I have previously done stills for but have revisited them now that I can offer video.
My question is: How much do you charge?
I understand that there are lots of factors to consider, but as a starting point, do any of you have any input?
*Do I ask clients how long of a video do they want?
(I anticipate most shoots to be around the 90 second mark for say #1; 120-180 seconds for #2 and about 300- 420 seconds for #3 (5 seconds per hole, straight full course vertical, clubhouse etc). This is just approximate timing.)
*How much do I charge for editing? I am assuming that most clients will want a complete video put together for them. Would this be a total package price?
I am not even sure how to format a pricing package. Bronze, silver, gold. Per second, per project, include editing, just supply raw footage etc etc.
What if someone saw your drone and asked you how much it cost to come take a picture and some video of their house, mansion or golf course.
What would you say?
This is intended for the professionals rather than the hobbyists as I am sure the hobbyists would do it for next to nothing
Thanks in advance,
Peter
