my first music video

[Thomas J. O'Hara]

I just got my first offer to make someone's music video.

I'm really excited, but kinda scared too. She's a country singer, and I'm going to have a meeting with her today to discuss our vision, locations, her budget, etc...

I already pretty much quoted her a price I think is fair, but out of curiosity, how much have you guys charged for a music video? (we're talking, shot/edited/produced/directed by you)

 

[aaron_wade]

depending on your experience/ your reel is how much you should charge.

 

[KOVAROVA]

what is her budget and what is your vision? that is prob the best place to start.

Also, how much of your time (pre-pro, shoot, edit) will it take to complete?

 

[Thomas J. O'Hara]

sorry, i guess i wasn't clear...

I just wanted to know about anyone's past experiences with making a music video.
I wasn't asking for help on determining my prices (I already worked out that stuff with her). oh well, thanks for the replies anyways.

ya I know, but Music Video's are marketing for the band, you dont expect to make money off a music video once it's done, thx for the head's up though !!!
