RATES
I always bid production shoots and new editing projects on a case-by-case basis. Starting a project from scratch, whether in production or post, requires more dialogue by its nature to settle on a price.
That said, sometimes you just need something fixed. Right now.
So, here are some of the other services I provide below. They can be booked conveniently from anywhere in the world and can be paid via PayPal:
PRESENTATION reel EVALUATIONs:
$50
Having almost 100 shows on my resume, I am extremely familiar with a list of sales and presentation reel mistakes that make Executive Producers, Network Execs and viewers cringe.
Don't commit these errors!
If you are a new producer banging your head against the wall trying to nail a great sizzle, do yourself a favor and spend $50 for a comprehensive review of your pitch reel. I review every single frame of it for story, video and audio pitfalls and offer comprehensive suggestions with your success in mind.
Don't beg for a "NO" on a pitch that could otherwise be a "YES."
It's simple and affordable: You send me any of your applicable confidentiality agreements or NDAs (that I am of course happy to sign), upload and send me a link of the reel, then submit payment via PayPal.
Then, I will provide a complete synopsis with recommendations-- in your inbox usually within 24 hours.
consulting & revisions:
$100-$500
You have a great sizzle, but your agent wants revisions and a more targeted reel for a specific network or distributor.
You know hiring an editor to come in and tackle it is going to cost you a day rate of $600 or more when you only need a few hours, at most.
This is easy. Call me up and let's figure out what it will take to make fixes. Sometimes, you can upload your existing reel as a Quicktime and I can just patch your new changes into it, smooth out the transitions and kick it right back to you.
Or, perhaps, the reel is fine but your graphic artist that created your deck is enjoying life in Bali at the moment--and you've changed the title of the concept or the wording of your pitch. You don't know PowerPoint or PhotoShop well enough to re-tool your printed messaging?
I've got you covered, and can usually turn things around for you in 24-48 hours. I can provide samples you can preview, too. Contact me with the details of your current challenge today!
VOICEOVERS
(royalty free):
$50-100
In the process of putting together sales reels for so many people over the years, a strange phenomenon has occurred--that which I am asked by producers to personally voice the final VO.
It's been a unique experience to use some of the radio skills I used as a college radio jock and I always get a kick out of it.
It's not my life's calling, but if you find yourself in need of a male voice--and you're not able to afford Donald Sutherland--it's a solid option for you. Here is a link with some samples:
<link to come>
It's really simple. Email me your script, I do the read in my booth at home and send the voiceover audio file back to you. We can even Skype or teleconference while I'm doing the read, if you prefer.
We of course want to make we're sure the tone and inflection is what you want for your target demographic.
Payment is also a breeze through PayPal--you're off to the pitch meeting in no time.
