Question 1

Do you travel outside of Wagga Wagga?

Accepted Answer

Yes. While I am based in Wagga Wagga, I regularly work across the Riverina and regional NSW. A travel fee is incurred for locations more than 50km from my base to cover time and transport costs.

Question 2

How much does a professional video cost?

Accepted Answer

Every project is unique. Costs depend on the complexity of the shoot, the length of the final edit, and any specialised requirements like drone footage. I provide clear, itemised and obligation-free quotes after an initial consultation to ensure the budget aligns with your goals.

Question 3

Are there any additional fees?

Accepted Answer

I provide clear, itemised quotes based on your specific project needs. While my packages are comprehensive, additional costs may apply for:
Extended Filming: Extra hours or additional filming days beyond the original brief.
Additional Personnel: If a project requires a second camera operator or specialized crew.
Major Revisions: Significant changes to the project scope once editing has commenced. Any potential extras will always be discussed with you upfront before being added to your quote.

Question 4

How long does the process take from start to finish?

Accepted Answer

On average, a standard promotional or school video takes between 3 to 6 weeks. This includes pre-production planning, the shoot itself, and the editing process. I usually am able to provide an initial draft within 7 days.If you have a specific deadline, such as an event or enrolment period, please let me know early so we can plan accordingly.

Question 5

What do I need to prepare before the shoot?

Accepted Answer

The more prepared the location and the people, the smoother the day goes. For schools and businesses, I recommend ensuring spaces are tidy and participants are briefed. I provide a "Shoot Day Checklist" for my school and commercial clients to help you feel ready.

Question 6

Are you licensed and insured to fly drones?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I am a CASA-certified drone pilot and operate under the sub-2kg rules safely. I carry full public liability insurance, ensuring that all aerial filming for agriculture, real estate, and schools is conducted legally and safely.

Question 7

Who owns the copyright to the final content?

Accepted Answer

Once the final invoice is settled, the usage rights for the edited video or images are yours. You are free to use them across your website, social media, and marketing materials. I retain the right to use the content in my own portfolio unless we have agreed otherwise (common for sensitive school or corporate projects).

Question 8

Can I request changes to the video after I see the first draft?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. My standard production process includes two rounds of revisions. This allows you to give feedback on the flow, text, and music to ensure the final product is exactly what you envisioned.

Question 9

Do you provide the "raw" unedited footage?

Accepted Answer

I typically deliver the polished, final edited files ready for use. Raw footage is generally not provided as it doesn't represent the finished quality of my work, but I am happy to discuss specific archival needs for a fee if required.

Question 10

Where do you get the music for the videos?

Accepted Answer

I use professional, high-quality music libraries where I purchase the appropriate licences for your project. This means you don't have to worry about copyright strikes on YouTube or Facebook.

Question 11

Can you handle large projects, like school yearbooks or annual reports?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I specialise in complex, multi-page publications. I manage the entire process—from photography and layout design to preparing print-ready files—ensuring a cohesive look across your physical and digital assets.

Question 12

How does the 12-month School Subscription work?

Accepted Answer

Our subscription model allows schools to spread the cost of their visual content across a predictable annual budget. All videos within your chosen package must be produced within a 12-month period. This ensures your school has a consistent stream of fresh content for the entire academic year.
