Video magnifies every commercial problem photography has. The shoot is a fraction of the work, the edit can run for weeks, and revision requests are effectively unlimited unless someone has written down where they stop. A client who asks for “just one more version” four times has consumed another day of work that was never quoted for, and because each individual request sounds small, it is very hard to refuse in the moment. The trade’s recurring failure is scope: not underpricing the day, but underpricing everything that happens after it.
The billing structures this trade actually uses — and what each one means for getting paid. Every one of them can sit on a single rate card.
