I recently shot and plan on editing a commercial for a banquet hall/dance club/bar. The coowner is the cousin of one of my friends and they have had previous commercials shot & edited before and the person shooting & editing them did not charge. I made it clear to my coworker that I am looking to get paid for my services. He did a very poor job of communicating with me about what exactly they are looking for and never told the people who own the bar about me getting paid.
When I went there, it was very unorganized and they didn't really know what they wanted and offered very little direction. I asked about pay and he seemed a little confused & stunned that he would have to pay. We agreed that I'd shoot the stuff and see how extensive it was and give them a number later on.
I'm thinking $500.00 for it shot & edited and would probably go as low as $400.00. They all have money but from what the old videographer/editor said, they are kind of cheap and are looking to get stuff for cheap. He was real uncomfortable about his situation.
How much would guys charge for a commercial to shoot & edit.
