Man, this is great stuff!! One big piece of advice I really took from something Chris Do said was "every new client/project should be charged more". So although I'm currently not charging these types of prices, I know one day soon I will! My average cost per project is around $2-3k, which I feel like is a step up from last year when it was $1k-$1500/per project. My biggest issue that I'm currently having right now (with a repeat client) is pricing properly and getting a true understanding on the scope of work. I've mainly done client testimonials for them, so those are easy to quote, but more recently they've been wanting other types of videos that require more pre-production and planning. I'm currently trying to storyboard 4-6min video for them (it's a client onboarding video that they'll send to they're clients) and I'm realizing I've never done a proper storyboard for this legnthy of a video. And this video script (which they wrote) has a lot of moving pieces. I'm working my way through it, but if there's one thing I learned that I do, is I start working on a project before even sending or figuring out a quote. Cause I feel like if I don't try and storyboard, then I don't reaaallyy know how much work we'll need to do during production and I might underquote the project. Anyway... just wanted to share lol I'm sure people will read this and think I'm stupid, but that's fine lol
One of the best purchases I’ve made that will take my video production business to the next level. Great work putting this together @ChrisFranklinJr Keep up the great work. All the best.
Which key light is that off to the left?! A lot of them look similar but in need of a light for this EXACT SETUP a key to overpower the sun in this scenario
This is good stuff but not for me. I’m a freelancer and get decent sized projects (5-15k). My emailed proposals are plain text. I tell the client in that same email I don’t believe in spending a lot of time on fancy proposal documents and often get great replies.
