FAQ
Common questions
Do you travel?
Yes. I'm based in Northern Ireland and work across Ireland and the UK most months, further out when a job calls for it. Travel and accommodation go on the invoice at cost.
Are you insured?
Yes. £10m public liability and equipment cover at full replacement value. I also carry professional indemnity, which some agencies ask for and most don't. Drone work runs under a CAA A2 Certificate of Competency with its own liability policy. I'll send certificates over before the shoot and fill in your compliance form if you have one.
What's the turnaround on an edit?
A first cut on a one day shoot is usually with you inside five working days. Longer jobs vary too much for a blanket answer, so the delivery date goes in the quote. Two rounds of changes are included. After that it's £65 an hour, and I'll estimate the hours before I touch it.
Can you work with our existing crew?
Happy either way. I slot into a team that's already running, or bring a sound recordist and a spark if you need the bodies. Tell me who you've got booked and I'll work out what's missing.
How do you handle deposits and invoicing?
Project work is 50% on booking, balance on delivery. Day rate work I invoice after the shoot, 30 day terms. If you need to move a date, that's fine with more than a week's notice. Inside a week it's half the day rate, and inside 48 hours the full rate.
Tell me about the job.
Dates, location and what you need at the end of it. I'll come back with a price, usually the same day.
