Question regarding pay

I have landed a gig where I have to shoot 30 1min web videos for a well known phone company, now I am not new to doing work for the web and I operate on a daily rate for shooting, a rate for editing, special rental equip, expenses etc.
I have never been asked to do so many videos for one job, should I make a package deal or bill one video at a time? I have done similar videos for this company in the past and I have noticed that they always cost about 2-3 thousand each per finished minute.


Thanks for the input

Sounds like you have already landed the gig. No need for a discount at this point, imo. If you look at it from afar, that's all flat or "package deals" are. Id go for 2k per video. You'll come out fine in the first few but as you streamline things, man you'll come out fiiiine in the later episodes. You'll find you are shooting one day and editing the next. A grand a day is a fine day rate for any one man band.
 
I agree with Grinner. Just figure out what it will cost to shoot/edit and make that the set price for each video. You'll definitely make it up on the backend if you're using the same graphics templates, audio intro/outro, etc... Sounds like a sweet gig.
