jean_paul_b_ardou Posted July 19, 1997 Share Posted July 19, 1997 Hi, <p> I am looking for information on pricing the production of a slide show. <p> So far, I have made a tentative list of the elements involved, but besidesthe price of film and processing (and then again, how do you account for thefact that it takes x slides shot to get one that makes it to the final show?)it is not easy to price! <p> Find my list below, and if somebody has experience/knowledge in the matter,please drop me a note. <p> Maybe there is a better way to price a slideshow, such as saying that itcosts so much per slide, which price would include all cost categories. <p> Maybe there are books written on the topic. Does anybody out there know? <p> Thank you very much. <p> Very truly yours, <p> Jean-Paul Bardou <p> Costs for Slide production <p> Regardless of duration, the production of a multi-projector slide showinvolves at least the following activities, with their associated costs. <p> Pictures Taking original dedicated pictures and/or Picking pictures from archives and/or Duplicating pictures from slides or paper prints. <p> Processing Done by a photo lab. <p> Special effect slides Design on computer Printing Copying to Slides or off-house high-contrast production <p> Subtitles Design on computer Printing Off-house production on high-contrast medium <p> Text Writing Editing Recording <p> Music Selection Time metering to text <p> Mixing text with music <p> Writing script (slides/text) <p> Synchronization <p> Durations/costs <p> Costs for photographic material (Here in Danish Crowns, since I live in Denmark) <p> Film: 45 DKK for 36 slides -> 1.25 DKK per slideDevelopment: 45 DKK for 36 slides -> 1.25 DKK per slideSlide Mounts: 36 DKK for 36 slides -> 1.00 DKK per slideTotal (before tax): 126 DKK for 36 slides -> 3.50 DKK per slide <p> It must be kept in mind that for a slide that is chosen, many are taken (fromone in three to one in ten). <p> Special effect slides Design on computer ????

david_johnson Posted October 30, 1997 Share Posted October 30, 1997 Hi <p> I produce my own AV shows using twin Kodaks , and I have just been paid $100(US) for a 14 minute AV of a wedding. Now I tend to set a standard showing fee of $100 for one evening regardless of how many AV;s are in that show. <p> I did cost out how much an AV cost me a long while ago whilst I lived in the UK , I now live in Bermuda , and the total figure was well over 1,000 UK pound if you included travel costs , film ,time , purchase of CDs for soundtrack etc etc. For that AV I received a fee of 40 pounds for 1 showing !!!. <p> I hope this helps in some way. <p> Regards <p> Dave Johnson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
