Blank check

Im stealing your idea, Moleman. Ill fetch my people, and ask the jotens rep at our school if they need anything. Eheh.
 
Never let someone short sell you based on your age. Do what everyone's saying, call around and get quotes them charge them a professional rate. Be firm about it: if they liked the work enough to offer you a blank check then you should be just as firm in accepting a fair rate for your work.

You'll be respected by the people paying you for it, and it'll open doors for more professional work.

Right on. Especially when you have a surprisingly deep voice like me.

A proposition via an inteligible conversation will usually turn out well, (unless said proposition involves the mafia). For example- they got my pizza order wrong. I ordered via Papa John through the internet, and the gave me a flat crust rather than regular. Naive and pushovers, my parents said, Oh well. I wouldnt take that. I called them, I got hold of the manager, and in the nicest way, asked what their policy was on wrong orders. She immediately, no questions asked, she gave me credit for 2 free large pizzas.

If you ask, they will always stoop to your needs. :thumbup:

I am charging about $115 AUD per minute... now that works at around $80USD per minute, which turns in around $2400. Very rarely do I charge itemised like camera hire etc, unless I know from the start I will require something additional that costs $$ then I will discuss that as a seperate expense. I usually state my price of 10000 yen (115 AUD) per minute for corporate like this.

Now advertising is a different scenario. For example I am working on a 30 second spot right now that obviously is not going to be charged at a per minute rate.

The usual low end per minute in the US should be around $1,000 per finished minute for corporate. Some people can get a lot more with a good reel. I friend of mine gets an easy $50 grand for the 30 second trump spots he does.
