Freelance Videographer Needed

Post by Spotzer02 » Thu Apr 08, 2010 5:30 pm

Spotzer Media is currently looking for videographers in Turku .
To tell you a little about ourselves we are the first global media advertising firm the offers fast, affordable products to local businesses. We do business in over 13 European countries as well as Australia and the United States. We are looking for someone who will be able to help us create our 30 to 45 second basic and interview video products. This entails a 1 to 2hrs shoot, and an edit of the 30 to 45 second long video.
The jobs are all locally based, in the city where you reside, and we only require that you have your own equipment for the assignments, both filming & editing software- depending on the product. The work is freelance; however with reasonably high volumes it has potential to be constant work if you have the time for it.
For an example of the types of videos that we make, please go to www.spotzerstudio.com.
If you wish to become part of the Spotzer team we first must take a look at any work you may have. Do you have an online demo or show reel that we may take a look at?
If you have any other filmmaker contacts in those areas you feel would also be suitable, would love to hear about them.


Regards,
Vanessa Yu

Maybe you should put your fees also here, for the people who are interested.


Just so you know:
They also offered a freelance photographer position awhile back, after which I contacted them.
They offered me a fee of €60 per job, which included all expenses and required me to sign over all copyrights of the shot photographs to them.
Signing over all copyrights is already a big no-no, and - in the photographers case it was in a 50km radius of the capital region - €60 including all expenses (so also traveling), would in most cases not even cover the costs from getting from 50km east of Helsinki to 50km west of Helsinki (legal kilometri korvaus is 45 cents per km at the moment).

So be careful with this company and make sure you read the contract closely if you're considering this.



In the above case, a 1-2 hour shoot, you will have to count with 4-5 hours of total time involved not including the editing. You probably will want to be on location an hour or 1,5 before the actual shoot to set up your material and scout the location, also half an hour breaking up your stuff + the traveling time.
I believe the videographer's fee was 120-150€ per job.

Right on.
own equipment for the assignments, both filming & editing software- depending on the product.
Get a camera (probably a quality one) : over 2000 Euro
Get a filming and editing software: over 2500 Euro

No thanks. I have experience in editing videos (not filming) and will not be applying if no payment is declared.
