  So a restaurant wants me to come in and make a panoramic video of their space. I'm thinking it would either be a slow panning video or taking a handful of pics and setting up a Quicktime VR video of it. I have no idea how much to charge for something like this. Any advice?

  do you already have the pano-gear or are you renting?

  I would take a bunch of pictures and stitch them together in something like Autodesk Stitcher that can export qt vr files. That's what I'm going to suggest anyway. He was just thinking of having a slow pan video file (not interactive)

  you may want to look into renting one of these pano-handles for your tripod + a 180° fisheye. you´ll get a whole pano with only 2 shots, which can save you so much trouble when shooting from different positions and different exposures. lighting could become a real bitch, but i guess you have that under control. sounds like a day´s rate for the gig?

  What's a standard day rate? I've been an in house designer since college so I'm pretty ignorant on this subject.

  i dunno, everybody makes their own, depending on skillset, region (rural/metro, us/europe), competition, desperation, etc.

  check the filter to get an idea, there´s been much discussion on the subject.

  charge your day rate. depending on your values, it's your hrly x 8 or 10

  • But you usually give a small discount for a day rate vs hourly.– ETM
