Hello,
I wanted to jump into motorsport type videography for a while, but i dont really know how to price myself.
Yes there are threads and couple videos on youtube for this type of stuff, but I m more lost after watching and reading all that. I know that I should sell packages, but what is a appealing package? And how to price that?
In terms of equipment, I have sony a7s 3, 17-50 and 70-200, tripod, drone, action cameras and mics ofcourse. This all I can use for video production.
I dont have any track side experience, but I have 5 years in video experience and 3 years in automotive, shooting reviews and reels.
All events I want to attend are in 100 km/ 60 mile radius from me, and I have a car for travel. All except one are one day races, so no hotels. The one race that is multiple days is close to me, so just a short commute.
I can deliver reels, aftermovie, race recap, driver interviews. Pretty much anything except photos. Yes I can take them, but dont really want to, just videos.
As for my current rate, I get 250€ /300$ for video regardles of how long it is, and 50€ /60$ for reels. Although I m a freelancer, this was set before I joined and there is no realistic way to increase the payout from each video, just to make more videos. I dont necessarily wont to make more money, I just love racing. But I dont want to undersell myself, and if I can make more, why not.
So in summury, what packages should I offer to clients? How much to charge for them? Or am I just delusional for wnating to charge people with no experience in the field?
