Einstein proved that Time = Money.
Think about your hourly rate (how you choose between 35-75 I don't know), and the approximately 32-40 hours you may spend on this project, which seems pretty generous. Two hundred events, even if there are no common corrections and every one of them is unique, would be two days if you spent 5 minutes with each one of them - constructed, reviewed, approved and moving on. Are you going to be changing the color of wardrobe, tracking/relighting key elements that are moving in an an organic way, fixing exposure events (cinematographer, aka camera operator racked during a take)...? All of these are momentum killers.
Is the session going to be attended, or are you going in with a spot/look consultation and then "go 'way, I'll do the rest" followed by approval and revision? If the client wants to be that hands-on, then Walter's suggestion is not unreasonable, and if the client is uneasy, then you will have to decide whether you want to cap it at an amount (and leave yourself open to the client milking it beyond profitability for yourself) or try to convey to them that they are receiving value for money in some other way.
The main benefit that is being purchased is your expertise in positioning their product to their satisfaction.
Their own experience is a factor in deciding what that is worth. What amount of "pain" are you addressing?
