Cheap Professional Video?

I know everyone gets the occasional phone call from the “tire-kicker”, or the call from someone wanting a high end commercial, complete with special effects and an entire stadium full of children that will help sell their product… All for $10.

But I’ve had several of these kinds of calls lately and felt like venting a little. Here’s a few of the lines I’ve heard: “But it should only take an hour!” And, “I only want a one minute commercial!” And my personal favorite, “He just needs some light and you can shoot him against a black background… You do shoot High Definition, correct?”

I’m not sure why people want me to work for so cheap, but I know that my experience is worth more than $5 an hour. And I bought my professional video equipment with real money…

Anyway, just had to vent a little. Anyone else get these kinds of calls?
