Charging for Creating Video Projects

[preacher238]

I have a little dilema here. I have been asked to put together a history DVD of a church building project from ground breaking to final completion. It involves scanning pictures and integrating some video clips overlayed over some music. Based on these input conditions, how much would you professionals charge for this? I have been asked how much I would charge to do this, but I have always done projects like this for free. I have always taken pleasure in the creation and not the reward. So what do you think?

If you are reluctant to charge, $25. Hardly an intrusive amount.

I agree w/ TeeGee , I have people ask me all the time to make copies of home movies, weddings, etc..... Besides the amount of time it takes to copy & burn, the cost of good media too should be a factor. And will this project take 2 hours, 2 days, 2weeks ?????

Well, as a fellow Christian that depends on you. If you feel that it something you should do for the reward, do it. But if other members wanted a copy I would charge.
