[MacDV] Pricing for video slide shows?

[Frank Garcia]

I'm about to embark on a gig for a company, creating "stills slide 
shows" but I confess, I am stumped as to what should I charge? 
Essentially stills only combined with audio narration in apps like 
iMovie or FCX for web posting. About 5-10 minutes, depending on 
content.

They don't have a lot of money but I don't want to undercharge for 
myself. Does anyone have a "ballpark figure" that I can gauge for 
myself? This is for a U.S. company so that's U.S. funds...

Please privately e-mail replies to this address...

While on the subject, iMovie has an annoying "pixelation" bug on 
stills and the work around is activating the Ken Burns Effect to 
render it in full quality and not pixelated. I recently did 5 
slideshows and 4 rendered okay but 1 has to be redone because of this 
poor quality rendering.

There are other apps out there that do the motions/zooms just like 
iMovie such as Still Life and Photo to Movie but they are separate 
purchases.
