I'm a long time DP just getting started as a colorist . I've been doing it for awhile but mostly for friends and my own pieces and work out of my house, but i think i do a good job, have a good DPs eyes, know Resolve pretty well and use a Flanders for color accuracy. However I also know I'm slow and haven't even put together a reel yet .
I've been asked to bid on a 30 min narrative short that was shot in sLog3 on an FX9 ( I assume UHD) . It looks shot well, and is a lovely piece, but I know the production was/is on a shoe string so they won't be able to afford the typical local guys. . I would very much like to do it, but really have no idea what to bid. I also know that at this stage of my "career" I can't charge the going rate and don't want to charge by the hour because I know I'm slow so I just want to give them a flat rate. Can you guys give me any idea what a typical independent colorist might charge for a 30 min short? Thanks
