    Man this is useful! Always coming with the knowledge! I have not charged anyone because I wasn’t sure how to go about doing this. Plus I have a 20 video max limit before I start charging because I wanted to get the experience down. The further I got into the editing / the more money I spent for effects. Then I started looking at the cost of travel, paying monthly for the program to edit, paying for places to go, food, what equipment I will need for different shots, do I need to rent a lens, camera, etc... on average, each video I have made has been around $200. Lately I been spending more. But thank you for this video! This helps to really clarify a lot! Imma start doing deposits too.

    $100/min is an extremely low price for a music video. That may cover a small portion of your shoot time, but what about the edit time?

      In the beginning you're lucky to get paid. Whatever floats your boat at that time. It's gotta make sense to you. That is the key factor to pricing. I've done free videos. Those were learning processes also had some sort of exposure attached. I've also been paid thousands for videos. I'd suggest today asking the customer what their budget is so you're not selling yourself short either.

  • @ooh2weeproductions202
    @ooh2weeproductions202 4 роки тому +3

    To each there own, but that pricing might not work for some. It's a business, and businesses make money. Some charge less and go out of business, while others raise their prices. Depends what works for you and please never work for exposure unless it brings Value and you won't resent it after all the hard work! Nice video!

    • @CrackaLackTV
      @CrackaLackTV  4 роки тому +1

      Thank you. Maybe it's time I do an updated video. However I still believe this is a great video for what it's titled. Beginner pricing.

  • @tokyo485

    question the deposit process what if they deposit money and don't like the end product of the video do you give them back there deposit

    • @CrackaLackTV
      @CrackaLackTV  5 років тому +4

      I mean that's possible but it's never happened. I'd maybe write up a understanding stating something about how many edits they have and each additional edit or change equals a fee.

    • @CrackaLackTV
      @CrackaLackTV  2 роки тому +1

      I do it completely different but for beginners or anything under 1k I'd recommend half down, half at the shoot. NEVER do anything based on when it's complete.

    GREAT VIDEO! Bro i need a question answered... say u shoot a video for someone... if they arent paying, who posts it to social media? I shot a video for a friend and didnt charge, but i feel like im gonna get little to no attention. If i posted the video, it gets plays, and i get attention to my channel/movement. Uk? Thanks

    • @CrackaLackTV
      @CrackaLackTV  4 роки тому +3

      I post all my work to my social media. The artist also posts to their social media. Usually the actual music video only goes on 1 person channel. So that should be discussed upfront. Hey I'm doing it for free so it's going on my channel. If you want it only on yours then pay me.

    $100 per minute is insane cheap. Me as a beginner I wouldn't charge any less than $2500 day rate. Music Video is a lot of work.

    • @CrackaLackTV
      @CrackaLackTV  Рік тому +1

      As a beginner, your finished product isn't going to be worth $2,500. By all means, get as much as you can get. However, when anyone starts doing something new, we suck. So it doesn't matter how much time it takes us. As you get better, your final product gets better, meaning customers value it more.
      If my 11 year old daughter made her first music video, it might take her an entire month, and it would still suck. It's part of the learning process.
