MY PROCESS FOR QUOTING JOBS:
First I’ll learn about the project in as much detail as possible. This will give me an idea of what the shoot will be like, and quote precisely. A good initial phone call is really important, to get a good idea of what I’m in for, kit and cost aside.
Quotes depend on the job, and genre. There’s a reason for this- a lot of jobs are different with various complexity levels, require different kit and crew and we need to quote based on this- rather than accept whatever number is presented.
Things I look at when quoting:
- Genre is very important. Especially across different genres (expect this varies between different kinds of drama shoot even)
- Drama can involve a lot more mics than simply number of cast, when you start getting into plant mics, car rigs and what have you.
- In the very open and wide world of ‘branded/corporate/commercial’ the first thing is to look at the client’s brief to establish:
– Length of the day.
– Number of cameras and contributors.
– For sound (Link/s to camera – I always assume that every camera will have a TC box).
– IEM’s, if needed.
– Kit transport
– Additional crew needed?
