[MacDV] on Pricing Slideshows

[Frank Garcia]

Sorry for the delayed response. I assume the discussion about the 
slideshow pricing was referring to my query.

It's not actually DVD slideshows although I just did 5 for a Wedding 
DVD. The project that I am querying about is actually an 
audio-narrated project idea I'm pitching to a U.S. company, and it's 
for the web. It will be audio based from an interview I do over the 
phone, digitized, and then I'll "art direct" the photos to be taken 
for me, since the subjects are out of town, and then have it 
delivered to me and then I do the slideshow for later posting on the 
web to promote a project.

Responding to Ted: No color corrections, etc. unless needed but I am 
going to aim to do zooms/pans/rotates to make the show kinetic. I may 
also dip back into Photoshop for neato SFX because I took a course 
and want to remember all that I learned.

I must be vague because I don't want the specifics of the project to 
get out! :)

But essentially, this is a new concept and I don't want to over (or 
under) charge so I wanted a ballpark figure. Someone on this group 
previously mentioned $250 per slideshow. That, to me, is too much. 
I'm currently aiming for something like $150 US per show, but will 
likely provide a small discount, and so that our package deal of 
about 5 shows isn't too hefty for the company. I want to grow with 
these guys so I want them to be happy...

Thanks for all the replies. I must tender the pricing ASAP! I'm 
already overdue because I'm waffling on this.
