Home/Quarter days
Most jobs don’t need a whole day. Book the time the job actually needs, and I’ll quote for the job rather than the clock. What you get back depends on what you book, and that gets agreed before anybody turns up.
01 / KEEP IT FOCUSED
A quarter day on site, usually somewhere between one and three hours depending on the job. A product, a property, an interview, or a handful of clips for your channels.
02 / GO ALL IN
The whole day on site and everything that comes after it. Launches, events, brand films and longer promos.
03 / KEEP IT COMING
A set number of days each month at a better rate, with priority in the diary. Built for businesses whose stock or story keeps changing.
WHAT MOVES THE NUMBER
Roughly in the order it tends to matter.
Filming is the short part. A day on site can be two days in the edit, or half a day, depending on how many versions you want and how tidy the audio is.
Travel, if there is any, goes on the quote. Near Wetherby or Boroughbridge? Say so, there’s a local discount.
Most jobs are one person. A multi-camera event or anything at scale might need a second pair of hands, and that goes on the quote openly rather than being smuggled in.
Everything here is a starting point, not a menu. Tell me the job and you get a number for the job.
THE AWKWARD QUESTIONS
Half on booking, half on delivery for anything over a day. Smaller jobs are invoiced on delivery, payable within 14 days.
A quarter-day job is usually back within a week. A full day, around two. Long-form takes as long as it takes, and you get told the honest date rather than a hopeful one.
A handful of revisions are included, and we agree what the film is doing before anything is filmed. Most of the disasters in this industry come from nobody asking that question early enough.
You get full commercial use of the finished films. Raw footage can be handed over too, on a drive, subject to the terms in your quote.
I may keep some of the general footage, like scenery, buildings and process shots, for my own projects. Never anything with your people’s faces or voices in it.
If you hold the rights, yes. If it’s a chart track, no, not unless you fancy buying a sync licence. Everything I supply is properly licensed.
Yes. One local can per booking, handed over in person, or a 0% if you’d rather. A can, not a keg.
