3. Third they want to buy FCP and have us train them on how to cut together a quick video if needed.

To me this is a RED FLAG!!
Walk away.... or negotiate a finished product, you not in the training business... unless you are... then ignore my first comment. ;)

The time lapse is pretty straight forward. If there is a building near by that you can negotiate a window view or a weatherized mount on top then set up a DSLR (hard wired to power), set it to 1 frame every 24 hrs and you will end up with 1825 stills for a 74 second time-lapse of the entire 5 years (at 24p). Adjust # of shots per 24 hr period too get a longer time-lapse. Make sure you set you shots for part(s) of the day that is light on Dec 21st) otherwise you will end up with a huge pain come time for post production... pulling out all the black frames.

Get a solid travel itinerary from them on travel dates and places before bidding on any international travel (or otherwise) You cant give an accurate bid without accurate information.


Good luck!
