Hey again everybody,
just wondering how much money an independent filmmaker should be asking for a 3-5 minute music video. that doesn't include the cost of transportation, food for crew, paying crew, etc (it's their responsibility to pay for all parts of the video right?). i recently have been getting a lot of requests to do music videos and i've been asked by one band how much i charge. i've never been paid to do video work but i feel that the work i produce is of good, professional quality (which is why people come to me in the first place, i assume) so i want to know what you guys think is fair for an "amateur" filmmaker to be paid for the creation of a music video. i would be directing, writing, shooting and editing it so keep that in mind when considering pricing. thank you so so much in advance, can't wait to hear the lovely sage advice from the masters here.
