I shot some severe weather footage last year and it was used by BBC 2 documentary in the UK. Another UK channel now wants to use the footage and I'm wondering how much to charge them - they are looking for 1 minute of my HD footage.

(Ah, you might say, just charge them what you charged the other program. Well I gave away the footage to the other program :) smart move you might also add but I'm pretty sure the first program wan't gonna pay shite for it but one has to start somewhere right and if I hadn't given away the footage the other guy would not of contacted me [end of rant trying to justify my piss poor business practices])

I looked at some crappy video footage on Gettyimages and they wanted something like $3000 for some guys rummaging through the rubble of a demolished house.

This is how it'll be used:

9 digital transmissions
1 transmission on BBC 1
Online license for 5 years
Interactive license for 1 year

Any ideas?
