A question I often get asked is "How much do you charge for a one minute long social media video"? 

There are two possible answers:

1) If you only need one, one minute video, then my answer is I charge for the time it takes to set-up and shoot the video - $75/hour, and the time it takes to edit - $50/hour. For one, one minute video I assume the minimum amount of shooting and editing is needed, so the simple estimate is $125.

2) If you need 5 different one minute videos, then more shooting time, and more editing time is needed. For example, 5 videos might need 2 hours of shooting (more if the client wants to change wardrobe or location), and at least 3 hours of editing. So the estimate for 5 one minute social media videos is $300.
