How much do you charge for a Red Music Video?

[Torrey Loomis]

Actually, I was totally kidding around. Definitely wasn't $160,000...probably take two zeros off and you're closer to the actual cost. The director was a real hustler and locked down the cars and the plane gratis.

I know the range is going to be huge. But i am just going to try to get a good range of numbers, that those of you who have shot music videos on Red have charged. Please provide details to help explain the fluctuations, ie: days, did you just rent/operate, lenses, etc....

Phillip

you can do it for 1250 dollars (average rental price)
or 3750 dollars (3 days average rental price)
if you are a genius you are ready to go with 4000 dollars !

If you are looking for cheap production , travel to Georgia and shoot music video here
15 000 For 1 day in LA --- for this money you can shoot 5 days in Georgia

15,000 to shoot in Georgia would be $10,000 in travel. Usually music videos in Los Angeles are scheduled for when a band is already in town to do other things like press or shows.

Not to mention not even possible with many artists schedules. Not to be mean, but the idea is pretty naive.

Apparently in LA you can hire a Parisian Red for $150.00/day so add 2 bounce cards and a USB stick for backup and $200 should cover it

(Sorry, couldn't resist) Just looking out for you LA guys!

IMHO $10,000 is low budget (but do-able if you know the right people) if you want to light with HMIs/Frames and have a decent grip package. With a Lowel Tota/Omni kit maybe less.
