The work

What we
build together.

These are the calculator’s service deliverables. Exact quantities, formats, milestones, and approval requirements are confirmed in your proposal.

  1. 01Footage review and editorial direction
  2. 02Editing, basic color, and sound treatment
  3. 03Agreed final exports with captions where scoped
Match the ambition

Three ways
to scope the work.

These planning ranges use the smallest client profile and standard timing, for one project. Choose the scope that reflects your deliverables.

Small scope · 1×

Focused project

Up to 30 minutes of organized source footage into three short edits.

$1,250–$3,000 / project

Medium scope · 1.8×

Expanded project

Up to two hours of source footage into eight short edits.

$2,250–$5,400 / project

Large scope · 3.2×

Full production

A larger content library into fifteen short edits and a coordinated review workflow.

$4,000–$9,600 / project

Client size is a separate factor.

Small / Emerging uses 1×. Medium / Established uses 2×. Large / Public figure + celebrity uses 4×. The calculator multiplies the base range by both the client and scope factors, rounds each end to the nearest $50, then applies quantity in the stated unit. An agreed quoted fee replaces the planning range and bypasses these multipliers.

1× service-effort factor

Emerging

One person, a focused offer, a local audience, and direct approvals.

2× service-effort factor

Established

An established professional or creator with several offers and a wider audience.

4× service-effort factor

Public figure

A public figure, national profile, management team, or complex commercial presence.

Build a complete budget

What shapes
the final fee.

Source footage must be supplied with the rights needed for the intended edit and use.

8% G&A
Added to eligible pre-tax service fees and agreed costs. Any agreed pass-through exclusions are recorded in the proposal.
Applicable tax
The jurisdiction, verified rate, and taxable items—or a documented exemption—must be confirmed. Tax remains pending until verified.
Suppliers & equipment
Travel, outside suppliers, equipment, and direct expenses are itemized when needed and outside the agreed scope. Anything already included is not charged again.
Timing & quantity
Additional projects multiply only the stated unit. Eligible priority or accelerated service lines may add 25% or 50%, subject to availability and explicit agreement.
Written engagement
Deliverables, dates, approvals, responsibilities, permissions, fee inclusions, payment, and cancellation terms are agreed in the proposal. No default retainer percentage is required by this calculator.
