Even if people gave you their rates, it dosen't mean that you should follow their rates. Each of us have different budget, it all boils down to how much profit you are comfortable with after paying all the expenses.

i agree. there isn't a standard rate that you can follow.. ie. per 1min/30secs, or per how many days of shoot, or how many people appear in it, or how many edits you have. calculate your costs, follow from there.

Your idea also costs money don't forget.

I think he may be a client la. Trying to work out his budget for the next product.

One simple way is to get quotes from companies direct. Hope this helps.
