We've been hired to do a music video for an up and coming band, that we are shooting in two weeks. The budget is extremely tight and so is our deadline, we did a previous music video for them about a month ago and had a month to pull it off. This time we decided to shoot on 16mm and we got the contract last week.. It's our fault to shoot on film on such short notice but it's quite crucial for some parts of the video.
We asked to raise the budget by a 1000$ and got approved today. Now we are considering asking for more since the scanner of our good friends just broke and we are forced to go through post-houses for scanning the film.
In short how should we ask for another 1000$ on top of the other 1000$ we received.
They didn't seem vert closed to the budget increase but this is the second time and it is a short time frame. We have good reasons for this increase but it always feels wrong to ask for more.
PS: nobody is getting paid on this project either
How should we do it?
