editing
editing done on Apple Final Cut Studio (Final Cut Pro, Apple Loops). includes basic use of Adobe After Effects and similar effects. typical rule of thumb for basic professional quality editing is approx 1hour per minute of delivered footage. this would include up to 3 audio tracks and capture time. high def rates higher due to high storage requirements and render times of many hours, even with the fastest of modern editing computers.
Standard Definition $35/hour mini DV or DV Cam.
High Definition (HDV) $45/hour
DVD Authoring/Large Scale Duplication i am not efficient at DVD authoring at this time but can refer you to expert services at good rates. the same for large scale duplication. it is more cost effective for you to go this route currently.

music video
i offer the following rates for music video production. there are several things to consider when deciding which level to go with. consider the ultimate goal you hope the video to achieve.
look over the samples of my work. the video "Kendall Station" by the Zen Lunatics is an example of what to expect in the $2000 'Almost Budget' range. this is something to be very proud of and an excellent promo tool. if you are just looking to see what you look like and are just a fun band, the $500 'No Budget' may be all you need.
A few things to note:
the video mantra: Quality in = Quality out. Garbage in =Garbage out.
the quality of the final video is directly proportional to the bands approach to the process. an enthusiastic group with creative vision is required. the ability to take direction well after MULTIPLE, seemingly endless takes of the same song over and over cannot be overstated. many 'jam' bands are not used to what this feels like.
pre-production, concept development, shot lists, etc will be discussed. locations are to be secured by the band as well as any permits required for public space shooting. i am willing and able to attend to these affairs, but it is much more cost effective for you to do that part. i will be happy to give you some help in how to generically approach this process. it is a tragedy to have a good shoot shut down because a permit or permission was not handled. a shoot that is pre-produced runs smoothly, is more fun and the final product shows it. it's the only way to go. believe me.
multiple locations or excessive complexity require an assistant. in some cases this can just be someone provided by the band at no charge- or I can provide an assistant. routine minor assistance will be requested from the band on all shoots. again, this all adds up to you being able to spend your money on your video, not a lot of fluff and overpriced services.
if I am required to travel to your locale to shoot, we will discuss that on a case by case basis.
in the end, music video shoots can be a blast. bands are often amazed to see themselves in a high quality video with professional editing. these are the best deals I offer in my production company. i made that decision based on my love of music and the enjoyment i get meeting and working with motivated bands.
music video rates
'Zero Budget' Package $250.00
'No Budget' Package $500.00
'Micro Budget' Package $800.00
'Almost Budget' Package $2000.00
there is a lot of flexibility within these packages. i just believe in giving a lot of information on a website. it allows people to know right away what is in their price range. feel free to contact me to talk about any variations or special requests. with all music video packages, i record the room sound during the shoot, but it is up to the band to get me a high quality mix down of the song. my sound capture is normally only useful for the synch when editing. it can be used if there is no other option, but it will detract from the overall quality of the video.
all music video packages are priced for standard definition miniDV format. as my 'About Me' section mentions, i always shoot any creative endeavor with the 'film look'. 24p frame rate and 16:9 wide screen is standard unless otherwise requested (has never happened). HDV (Hi Definition) is available at additional cost. it can be well worth your investment in certain instances.

adventure/sport/activity videography
'Day of Action or Importance ' $200-400.00
add $100-200 High-Highest quality edit add $100-250 Hi Definition HDV
note: it would be too difficult to try to break this down into all the possible options. i can offer a basic observer type shoot with rough edit for very little if that is your want, up to a very professional documentary look.
this is a very popular video. i have most of my experience in this area and will capture unique, unusual footage and candid perspectives that will surprise you. i recommend the high quality edit option if you want to make this an awesome way to remember a great day. consider these events:
again, these are something people tend to watch over and over . the only video footage most people are used to seeing of themselves and these events are 'uncle Jim's shaky cam' palmcorder footage with endless zooming and pointless camera movement. painful at best. regular folks can be captured effectively and i can do it for you.
