Possible downsides?

Being newer photographers, the volume of images and flexiblity to run from one idea to the next might be a bit less than when you hire Ken, Colin or our full Staff.

Please consider this our discount option.

Video work varies greatly, so we custom estimate each project… please consider the details below just rough guidelines until you chat with us.

Note: All video projects require additional editing time at $100/hour

When do we use Half-Day Rate?

We use half day rates for bigger premier video projects that require our signature pre/post production process: story planning, a full light kit, additional camera angles, and high-quality audio. 

We brainstorm and plan with you, then send a custom estimate that’s much simpler hourly estimates.

What kinds of projects are Half-Day Rate?

Half-Day projects often include multiple in-depth interviews, custom video libraries, or capturing  a larger number of ideas.

Move up to joining us in consulting on ways to most effectively tell your story, and film it in an engaging way that will help your story get SEEN and shared.

Consider us your creative story-telling partner, with our Premier and Day-Rate services.

Rough Pricing Examples:  

• Simple lecture recording w/edited video  $500-$1000
• Simple interview two people interviewed w/edited video $1500-$3000
• Larger video project with day of filming & more in-depth final edited video $4000-$5000
• Multi-Day conference highlights video (speakers, interviews, etc) $8000 and up

What if I just want clips from my event with NO video editing? 

We don’t offer unedited RAW clip delivery, but we do offer something better: a clip library of high-quality, edited footage pulled from your shoot. It’s organized, beautiful, and ready to use.

Clip libraries give you a set of 5-15 second, color-corrected clips to use for future video and social media projects. (note: professional video companies typically do not offer to deliver all of the un-corrected RAW footage to the client. The files are too large and filmed in a way (DLog color, etc) that is generally unusable for clients)

What is HuthPhoto’s typical turnaround time & workflow with video projects?

Keep in mind: timelines can shift a bit depending on the size of the project and the time of year, but here’s the general flow:

1. We set the schedule together: We’ll agree on delivery and feedback dates as a team.
2. You send us your assets: Logos, branding guides, any media you want included – send those over before editing starts.
3. We send the first draft: Usually within 10 business days after the last shoot day (may vary based on project scope).
4. You give us round 1 feedback: This is the time for big-picture changes or anything that feels off.
5. We deliver a second draft: Typically 5-10 business days after we get your feedback.
6. You give round 2 feedback: These should be just light tweaks. Think polish, not overhaul.
7. We deliver the final video: You get the finished product, ready to roll.
