The series the way we'd love to make it costs more than the allocated range. Everything shown is all-in: crew, gear, editing and insurance.
Move the dials until the series and the price both feel right. Tell me the version you land on and I'll turn it into a firm quote with dates and deliverables. Everything here is a planning estimate, not a quote.
Each one follows one person.
The running time of each finished episode. One shoot day gives enough material for two minutes, or three with the full crew's two cameras. Longer episodes need two days.
Two days lets Nova spend real time with someone: at work, then at home or over a meal. One day keeps it to the workplace.
The full crew is what we recommend: two cameras, a camera assistant, dedicated sound and a full lighting team. The lean crew is one camera with sound and lighting. The small crew is a director, a director of photography and a gaffer. It moves slower, so it needs two shoot days per episode.
Reels and shorts cut from each episode's footage. One shoot day gives enough material for up to six. Release them whenever you like.
Nova's host fee (paid by Goodwill directly), paid media spend, and travel outside the Front Range.
