Pricing
4 starting points
These are starting points, and the final figure when the brief fits the base offer. Every project has its own constraints, calendar and distribution channels: the quote is built with you, after a first conversation.
The options
What a film costs
Four entry points, from a short format to a full set of deliverables. “From” means a floor: the quote is built around what you actually need. A film that still earns its keep next year does not cost the same as one that works once: same figure, two different budgets.
Short format
One shooting day, the edit, delivery in the formats your channels need. A statement to camera, a testimonial, a social capsule.
From €1,800
Corporate film
Preparation, writing, 1 to 2 shooting days, edit and grade. The format for institutional video and employer brand.
From €3,500
Full set of deliverables
Writing, several shooting days, a crew sized to the project, a version for every channel. For when one film is not enough.
From €6,500
Live capture
Multi-camera, control position, redundancy, fast delivery. The figure depends on the venue, the number of cameras and the stream: it comes after the recce.
Quoted per event
Extras
What gets added when the project calls for it
Nothing is automatic: each line appears on the quote because it serves the film, priced on the project, not off a rate card.
| Extra | When it earns its place |
|---|---|
| Drone | Aerial views of a site, a construction project, an event |
| Additional operator | 2 locations at once, or vision mixing from 4 cameras up |
| Motion designer | Animated graphics, infographics, titles |
| Extended archiving | Rushes kept beyond the six months included |
| Cutdowns and subtitling | Short versions, vertical formats, subtitles |
How the quote is built
From the starting point to the real figure
3 variables account for the gap between the floor and the quote. They get measured in the first conversation.
Shooting time
Half a day on one site, or 3 days across 4 locations: the first line on the quote, the easiest to read.
The crew
On my own, or with a second operator, a sound engineer, a motion designer: every addition is named on the quote.
The deliverables
One film, or one film and 6 cutdowns: post-production follows the number of places the film has to live.
What the client pays for
What does your fee fund?
The eye and the work. I am independent: no investor, no shareholder, no structure to finance above the project. What you pay goes into the preparation, the shoot, the edit and the distribution, and into the person who handles them.
It is also why the person you deal with never changes between the quote and the delivery.
