- Every percentage is a percentage of the tier price of one video ($125, $175 or $295). Never of the bundle, never of another add-on.
- Add-ons are priced per video and summed.
- Runs longer than 90 seconds are priced per 15 seconds over 45.
- Organic use means your own channels, with no time limit.
- Paid usage starts on the delivery date.
- Exclusivity means 90 days, same product category, named in the agreement.
- A revision round is changes that match the brief you approved. A new hook, a new product or a new location is a new video. Ask within 7 days of delivery.
Worked example. One tier 02 video, two extra hooks, 90 days of paid usage: 175 + 70 + 87.50 = $332.50.
Payment. Jobs at or under $150 are paid in full up front. Jobs larger than $150 are 50% deposit and 50% on approval. Send the brief and I will reply with a quote and an invoice.
05, the fine print, in plain words
Questions brands ask first
What exactly do I get for $125?
One UGC video, 15 to 45 seconds, 9:16, one hook, two revision rounds, and organic use on your own channels with no time limit. That is tier 01, the entry tier. A harder shoot is a tier up, and everything else is an add-on you choose.
Which tier do I need?
Bench at $125 if the product carries the shot on its own, tabletop or voice-over. On camera at $175 if someone has to say it or demo it, and on location at $295 if a buyer needs to see it used in the place they would use it.
Do you film longer than 45 seconds?
Yes. 60 seconds is $40 on top of the tier price and 90 seconds is $75. Anything longer is priced per 15 seconds over 45.
Can I run it as a paid ad?
Yes, as an add-on. Paid-ad usage is 25% of the tier price for 30 days, 50% for 90 days and 100% for 12 months. Paid usage starts on the delivery date. Whitelisting or Spark Ads is 30% of the tier price a month.
How many revisions do I get?
Two rounds, included. A round is changes that match the brief you approved. A new hook, a new product or a new location is a new video. Ask within 7 days of delivery. An extra round is $50.
Can I keep you off my competitors' products?
Exclusivity is an add-on at 40% of the tier price. It means 90 days, in the same product category, named in the agreement.
How fast is it?
Turnaround and delivery dates are agreed per job at booking, so you get a date before you pay rather than an average. Rush delivery under 72 hours is an add-on at 25% of the tier price.
Who owns the video?
I keep the copyright and license it to you on the terms we agree at booking. Every tier includes organic use on your own channels, with no time limit. Paid-ad usage, whitelisting and exclusivity are priced as add-ons. The full wording is in the terms.
How do I pay?
Jobs at or under $150 are paid in full up front by Stripe payment link. Jobs larger than $150 are 50% deposit and 50% on approval.
Is there anything you will not make videos for?
Not much. Gear, tech, fitness and home are what I own and use, so those are the easiest yes. If your product is a bad fit I will tell you when you ask, before you ship it and before you pay. Send the link and find out.
