velocityphoto 0 #3 June 25, 2009 I think it's a bit higher than that .Maybe if you was just shooting video. A friend will bail you out of jail , a REAL friend will be sitting next to you in the cell slapping your hand saying "DUDE THAT WAS AWSUM " ................

PhreeZone 20 #4 June 25, 2009 I've been paid for videos and stills everywhere from $30-40. $35 for video and stills seems to be about the going rate.Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
davelepka 4 #5 June 25, 2009 QuoteI think it's a bit higher than that .Maybe if you was just shooting video Keep in mind he said $35 was the no-edit price. Drop off the tape and memory card and you're done. I get a few bucks more, and I also just drop the tape. I don't own any editing equipment, CD burners, printers, DV tapes, DVDs or CDs, and I don't spend any time working on/with any of that stuff. If I had to edit my own, and provide my own equipment or media, I'd be looking for more per jump. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jethers203 0 #6 June 25, 2009 It really depends on the DZ. I worked at one that paid $42 for doing a DVD and $37 for a VHS. I was responsible for doing the editing and did this while I paid a packer ($5) to pack my canopy. That DZ took my stills and put them on Shutterfly and the customer could buy them from there, with me getting most the profit. This DZ charged about $90 for DVD At the DZ I jump at now, I make $20 for doing a DVD and $20 for the stills. I give the customer the option of stills up front. If they agree, I take my camera on the jump, if not, I save my neck. This DZ charges $40 for DVD. I also pay a packer (if available) to pack for me while I edit. Hope that helps.
