Hey all! I have been granted the opportunity to create a proposal for a 3-4 month commercial construction project (restaurant/ bar/ event center) where the client would like a timelapse of the construction, normal stills, and video at certain points in the project.
A little background, I'm part 107 licensed and insured, have been contracting for other companies in the real estate space for about a year, but started fully on my own about 2 months ago.
The insider contact for this project told me to NOT lowball at all, apparently the client has deep pockets. My current rates are $199 for 10 stills, and $399 for an edited 2ish min video, but these prices are geared towards single shoot properties which has left me scratching my head for a project of this scope, especially the timelapse. I'm no stranger to TL, but say if the project lasts 4 months - 120 days, played back at 30fps thats only 4 seconds of footage and would require traveling to the site every day at the same time and launching to the set height/distance/etc. I still need to talk with the contact again, however wanted to get a feel for what others have done for something like this.
If chosen for the project I'll definitely have a contract signed by both parties and a clause for additional payment in case the project has any delays.
Thanks in advance for any information and help!
