Re: hourly rate

I am not seeing many rates here. I think that is what we would like to see. For my church, I charge $100 a completed delivered minute with a $250 minimum. These are interviews, etc., nothing special. Most are 3 to 5 minutes. For the company I work for, I charged the same rate for 38 minutes of interviews & historical video combination, along with a few cool graphics. I was on company time for the video shooting, but all editing was offsite so I didn't double dip. (I am an IT guy). I used my XLH1. Ok, I know I am a little cheap..but how much? It's hard to get a full time video shop to give "me" a real answer. Note, as a person doing this part time, I would like to get something rather than nothing. Meaning: my church would probably do about 1/4 the video if I charged more. Now my employer, they are a different story.
