PACKAGES AND RATES
Most production companies won’t tell you what anything costs until you’ve had a meeting. I’d rather you knew before you called.
01 — TRANSPARENCY
WHY THESE ARE ON THE INTERNET
Because you’re going to ask anyway, and because a price you can’t find is a price you assume is too high.
Publishing them means the people who call me are people the numbers already work for. That saves us both an awkward conversation, and it’s the reason I can keep the rates where they are.
02 — INCLUDED
INCLUDED IN EVERYTHING BELOW
Professional camera, lighting and audio. Licensed music. Colour grade and sound mix. Titles and lower thirds. Captions. Vertical and square versions cut for social. Web ready delivery by download link. Footage archived twelve months. Fully insured.
FILMED, DIRECTED AND EDITED BY ME, START TO FINISH. THERE IS NOTHING BELOW THIS LINE THAT COSTS EXTRA LATER.
03 — MONTHLY
ONGOING, NOT A TIER
FOUR HOURS ON LOCATION, EVERY MONTH
Used in whatever pattern suits your business. One half day, an hour a week, or two visits either side of the month.
No cap on how much finished content comes out of it. First drafts of social pieces within three business days. Priority scheduling when weeks fill up.
Three month agreement, made verbally. Nothing to sign.
PER MONTH, PLUS GST · INVOICED IN ADVANCE
Worth knowing: a single Half Day booked as a project is $2,200. Monthly is the same four hours on location, every month, for $700 less.
04 — PROJECTS
PROJECTS
One-off bookings when you need something specific.
THE PICKUP
One idea, said well.
$690
PLUS GST
One location. One finished video up to three minutes. Built for a single clear message: a service explainer, a founder introduction, a product piece, an event recap. You arrive knowing what you want to say, and you leave with it made.
2 HOURS ON LOCATION
FIRST DRAFT IN 3 BUSINESS DAYS
Credited against your first invoice if you go Monthly within 30 days.
HALF DAY
Unlimited filming inside the window.
$2,200
PLUS GST
No cap on how much finished content comes out of it. Built for a concentrated push: a launch, an event, a full site and team shoot, a campaign that needs everything captured in one visit. A hero film plus a run of short cuts is the usual result.
4 HOURS ON LOCATION
FIRST DRAFT IN 10 BUSINESS DAYS
FULL DAY
Multiple locations, or multiple people, in a single booking.
$3,200
PLUS GST
The deepest option before custom production. Enough time to cover a whole operation properly rather than sampling it, which is what long form storytelling needs.
8 HOURS ON LOCATION
FIRST DRAFT IN 10 BUSINESS DAYS
PRODUCTION
Anything that needs a treatment before it needs a price.
$6,500
FROM · PLUS GST
Documentary, multi day shoots, interstate work. Delivery date agreed in the treatment before we start, because a three hour interview cut to five minutes cannot honestly sit under a published turnaround.
MULTI DAY
QUOTED PER PROJECT
05 — PROCESS
HOW THE PROCESS RUNS
DEPOSIT
30% to confirm the booking. Balance on delivery. Monthly is invoiced in advance.
TURNAROUND
First drafts in three business days for the Pickup and Monthly social pieces. Ten business days for Half Day and Full Day. Production is agreed in the treatment.
FEEDBACK
One consolidated pass, back to me within five business days. Revised cut follows within three.
REVISIONS
Agreed at booking rather than counted. I’d rather we settle what the job needs up front than have you counting rounds against a number in a contract.
06 — EXCLUSIONS
WHAT ISN’T INCLUDED
Most rate cards leave this part out, which is exactly why people don’t trust rate cards.
Travel beyond metropolitan Adelaide, quoted at cost
Talent, actors and models where a production calls for them
Paid music licences beyond the standard library
Studio hire
Footage storage past twelve months
I’LL FLAG ANY OF THESE BEFORE YOU BOOK, NOT AFTER.
07 — THE COMPARISON
THE COMPARISON WORTH DOING
If you’re weighing this against putting a videographer on payroll, the maths is less close than most people expect.
Most people start with the Pickup. It’s $690, it takes two hours, and it comes off your first month if you go Monthly.
