    I want to smack the photographer saying he wants to charge $450 to cut a 20 second social reel. $5,000 for 10 fucking reels? That's crazy to me. The entire video shoot was $8,000.

    • Fuck him in the asscrazyprick
    • maybe they are worth that much.
      how many units do you expect to sell with this campaign?      uan
    • That doesn’t seem that crazy. 3hrs at 150/hr? Probably more time spent talking than doing. Do it yourself if you don’t wanna pay.monNom
    • Or ask ChatGPT to do it.palimpsest
    • What a video cost to shoot is of little concern to an editor. You definitely can do it or find someone for much less assuming you don't expect endless revisionsspl33nidoru
    • He shot it, so he's already made 8k. If someone charges $150/hr, they should be fast enough to cut a reel in an hour. imhocanoe
    • Fuck it. I'll do it live!canoe
    • Video guy here. Don’t do social stuff. But curious, how many cuts are there?Graphics?Resiz...toemaas

      Utter bullshit. <3      PonyBoy
    • A person's rate is their rate regardless of the amount of time it takes to do something... your assumption on the time to complete is silly at best.PonyBoy
    • He’s giving you a fixed price. He’s gambling that he can get it done in the amount he quoted. You could take the risk and tell him you’ll pay his hourly...monNom
    • But now you are gambling.monNom
    • Pony, you would know because you art directed it, right? 3 cuts, audio, final frame. 2-3 hours. Spare me.canoe
    • It sounds like you might actually know what you're doing - why not cut it yourself instead of bitching about someone's set rates? What a waste of time. <3PonyBoy
