c) Event Coverage from $2k upwards

These are the minimum rates for which I am willing to accept for creating these footages. The actual quotes will be based on the projects itself. The products will be my Signature Level Quality. I do not wish to do anything less so no point asking me to compete with the next person by reducing my products to that level. If its not worth doing, I do not want to do it. Contact me only if you have something that you want to be the best amongst its peers and when quality matters. You will get what you paid for.

However, if you have a project, that maybe of personal interest to me and is in an area that I want to improve or dwelve deeper into, I may be willing to make concessions and produce special quote. If that was the case, you should email me.

Note: 2008-2009 will be a study period for me in CInematography so its the best time to make proposals.
