Hi, I'm new here but hoped this would be a good place to get some insight. I was contacted by a Japanese television company regarding purchasing some of my drone footage of Peru. They asked for pricing for both the entire edited video (attached below) and just the section featuring the rainbow mountains about 3:45-5:00. Feel free to skip through to get an idea of the variety of shots included. I have only once sold drone footage before to a TV show on the BBC and they offered a price that I felt was reasonable so I didn't need to come up with a quote. My question to you guys is how do you/would you go about pricing something like this? If it were you how much would you charge for this footage? Absolutely feel free to throw out some numbers. There was, of course, a lot that went into getting this footage and it was shot in a pretty remote area in the Peruvian Andes. This is also an edited compilation of the best clips from easily over 2 hours of raw footage.
Some more background on this video and what it took to make:
I filmed the entire video using my DJI Mavic Pro during 5 days of trekking in the Peruvian Andes. I had 5 drone batteries plus a power bank that I used to top off the charge after short flights. I kept the drone batteries in the bottom of my sleeping bag at night to keep them from freezing and draining the power. Most flights were done around 16,000 ft with the maximum altitude just over 19,000 ft above sea level. I had to fly very sparingly to conserve power throughout the trek. Each flight was carefully planned before to maximize the amount of good footage while wasting as little battery as possible. The footage was edited and lightly color graded in FCPX.
