Hi,
I am looking for a co-editor to help me finish editing a corporate video I'm doing.
It's about 75 minutes long and I am looking for someone to work with and bounce ideas around.
The due date for it is the latest by - 10/1/2010. But I'm hoping to finish it a lot earlier if possible.
Anyways - I'm located in Melbourne, VIC and the job pays $200. So if any of you guys out there are interested...
Please contact me on...
Mobile: 0406578241
Email: shizzle_84@hotmail.com

Cheers,
Syed Albar

Hi,

I am writing to inquire if you are still looking for an editor to edit your corporate video? I think I can help you achieve this project. I have been a senior digital media editor, assistant producer and a journalist for over four years in television broadcasting (Beijing Television Station; China Central Television Station); a production house (MZA Productions); print media (Digitimes Inc.; U-Weekly) in mainland China, Taiwan and Singapore – producing work in both Mandarin Chinese and English. I am currently working on a freelance basis with a radio station (3CW Chinese Radio) and print media (Singapore Press Holdings) in Melbourne. I consider myself as having an good educational background with rich and varied work experience.

If I can provide you with any further information on my background, qualifications and previous works, please let me know. I can be reached via email (jingning.lee@gmail.com) or anytime on my mobile phone: 0403137216. Thank you for your time, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

Jingning Li

so, $200 for the whole gig.

can someone tell me HOW MANY HOURS of work it would take to edit a 75 minute corporate gig?

so all of us reading this thread can then do the basic arithmatic to arrive at the "hourly rate" being offered by Syed?

I mean, hell, if it's a ten day gig, then Sy's offering $20 per day.

That's good for ZIMBABWE currency, but in Oz dollars, well, I think Mr. Albar needs to put down the hookah.

Not wanting to get too vitriolic about the horribly low rates that some companies pay to film makers keen for a 'foot in the door', with the lure of 'regular work'...

I run a small film / video production company with largely corporate clients. For a corporate video that goes for maybe 10-12 minutes, we'd allocate 4-5 days of edit time (so, maybe 32-40 hours). Obviously every job differs in complexity, but let's assume that it actually has to look good, have decent titles / colour grade, sound mix etc. We have a small in-house edit suite so our rates are a little cheaper than normal, but on average you'd be paying about $200+ for ONE HOUR with an editor and edit suite.

Basic maths tells me that you cannot even WATCH 75 minutes of corporate video in one hour - let alone edit together the hours and hours of footage that must have been shot for a 75 minute end product. So (as we've all figured out) the rates offered are not exactly 'industry standard'.

I don't want to get stuck into the person who posted this ad, as I know that all too often people are lured in by businesses who want videos, but have no idea about (or respect for!) the amount of time and effort it takes to make a video. God knows enough people I work with have made this mistake in their early days of their career - a job that pays $5000 for a five minute video sounds awesome at the time, especially when you're freelancing / just starting out / between jobs, but when you calculate the endless hours of filming / editing that are invested over the weeks / months, it's suddenly only about $3 per hour...and not such a sweet deal.

Anyway, that's my rant. I know it's often a fine line between taking a small pay cut to 'get the client' and hopefully ongoing work,  and taking on a job that really isn't worth your time and effort.  But I guess the more people who give in to stupidly low rates, the harder it is for the rest of us to get 'standard' rates when the client says "Well, I can get someone to do that for a tenth of the price you're offering, so why should I go with you?".

End rant. For real this time.
