How much should i charge for softball video freelance work?

February 162010

I’m 17 and have about 2-3 years of filming and editing experience with final cut. A softball team has hired me to film and edit a highlight dvd for the team. I use a canon xh a1 which records in 1080 HD. I would be filming around 3-4 games for the team and then compiling the highlights. Whats a reasonable price to charge?

Hmm… I’ve always wondered what price to charge also, when filming events. if I were doing that same thing…

– the cost to get there (gas), the cost of a ticket (if they charged you)
– if the final product will be on DVD, then the price of 1 DVD

So, travel costs + DVD cost. Experience alone is great payment!

    I filmed my high school’s talent show and charged for the price of the DVD + $0.10 per minute (I’m a weird guy).
