FREQUENLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I've been in the videography industry for over four years. In this time, I’ve worked on a diverse range of projects, including music videos, commercials, fashion shoots, personal reels, and more. Each project has allowed me to hone my craft, bringing unique stories and visions to life. My clients range from emerging talents to famous musicians, showcasing my commitment to quality and creativity no matter the scale of the project.

In the world of music video production, you typically face two extremes:
On one side, there are solo videographers or novice directors who offer lower rates but often lack the specialized equipment and experience necessary to create a standout video. The result? A basic, uninspired video that doesn’t stand out from the crowd.
On the other side, you have large production studios that charge premium prices—sometimes exceeding $10,000—even for simple projects, simply because of their reputation.
What makes me different is my ability to strike the perfect balance. I offer high end production quality comparable to major studios but at a much more reasonable price range. I specialize in crafting unique, visually captivating videos that deliver outstanding value without compromising on creativity or quality. I don’t just shoot videos—i create cinematic experiences.
-
Pricing is determined by factors such as project length, complexity, location, and additional services (like special effects or custom animations). I offer customizable packages to fit a range of budgets, and I’m happy to discuss a quote that aligns with your vision.
-
Absolutely! I’m more than happy to travel for your project. Please note that all travel expenses, including transportation and accommodation, will be added to the booking fee to cover the costs of getting to and from the location.
-
Booking a project is simple! After an initial consultation to discuss your vision and project details, we’ll secure a non-refundable $250 deposit to lock in your spot. Then we’ll solidify concepts, locations, and a schedule. Once the project is confirmed, I’ll handle the filming and editing, keeping you updated along the way.
The final payment, (total video cost minus the non-refundable deposit,) is due prior to the delivery of the final video as a standard practice. Requiring payment before sending the final video ensures that both parties are protected and that the project is settled upon completion. Once the balance is received, we will deliver the final product, fully edited and polished, and ready for your use.
-
Deposits are non-refundable, as they secure your booking date and cover essential planning and preparation costs. Last minute cancellations can result in lost shooting days and unused resources, which the deposit helps offset. However, I’m happy to work with you to reschedule if needed.
-
I know how important it is to feel secure in your investment. That’s why I provide a detailed production agreement that outlines every aspect of the project, ensuring clarity and legal protection. My portfolio speaks for itself, featuring many artists who trust me time and again, proving my commitment to delivering exceptional work and fostering lasting partnerships. I’m focused on providing a seamless experience and always strive to go above and beyond for my clients.
-
Project timelines vary depending on the scope and complexity of each video. Typically, a standard project takes about 2–4 weeks from planning to delivery. However, I work with clients to ensure timelines align with their needs while maintaining high quality results.
-
I use top of the line professional grade equipment; including a Red Dragon X Cinema Camera, various modern and vintage lenses, and high quality professional lighting to ensure each project has a polished, cinematic look. Equipment is chosen based on the specific needs of the project to best capture your vision.
-
I manage the entire production process, from pre-production planning and storyboarding to filming and editing. My goal is to bring your concept to life in a way that aligns with your vision and brand
-
No, expenses for studios, models, props, and locations are not included in the project cost and will need to be covered by the client. However, we have strong industry connections and can often assist in sourcing high-quality options at competitive prices, ensuring you get the best value for your budget.
-
Absolutely. I understand the importance of getting the final product just right. I offer up to two rounds of revisions to ensure the video meets your vision. After that, additional revisions are available at a rate of $150 per revision. This process helps maintain a smooth workflow and allows me to deliver high-quality results efficiently.
-
Your satisfaction is a top priority. In fact, dissatisfaction is rare because I put in the work to carefully plan each project, ensuring we capture high quality footage. When it comes to post production, I understand that everyone’s taste is different, and I’m always open to your feedback. I offer two rounds of revisions to ensure the final video aligns with your vision. If you're not happy with the initial edits, we’ll work together to refine it. After the two revision rounds, any additional changes are available for an extra fee. My goal is to deliver a product that exceeds your expectations and meets your needs.
-
I understand that things can come up, so I offer a 15 minute grace period for any delays. However, please note that any time beyond that will be deducted from the original start time we agreed upon. To ensure we make the most of our time together, I recommend arriving promptly.
-
I understand that some projects have tight deadlines. While I always strive to meet your timeline, expedited editing is available for an additional fee depending on the urgency and scope of the project. Let me know your timeline, and we can discuss the best way to accommodate your needs.

The final cut of your video will be available for download for one month. The RAW footage is retained during the editing process but is deleted once the final version is approved. Please be sure to download all files within this time frame to avoid any loss of content.
