Ways to put a
life on film.
Every film is one complete piece of work at one fixed price — interviews, filming, editing and delivery, all included. What changes is the shape of the story: one life, two lives together, or something larger for the whole family.
One Life Story
$3500 incl GST
One person, one complete life-story film — the heart of what I do.
- Two interviews, an hour each
- A 45–60 minute final cut
- Your photos and home footage woven in
- Delivered by digital transfer and on a storage device
Two Lives
$3500 per person
A full film for each partner, and a shared chapter on the life you have built together.
- A complete film for each of you
- A shared “life together” chapter in both
- Everything in One Life Story, twice over
- Shared chapter priced by arrangement
The Legacy
By arrangement
A larger production for the whole family — several voices, and a longer film to hold a family’s history.
- Interviews with several family members
- An extended film across the generations
- Extra copies for the family
- Shaped to suit — we scope it together
All prices include GST. A film is paid 50% to begin and 50% on delivery of the final cut. “The Legacy” is a working title — this third option is still being shaped.
What every film includes
No hourly rates, no surprises — the whole craft, start to finish.
The making
- Background calls with family and friends
- Sourcing your photographs and any old home footage
- Two filmed interviews, an hour each, at a place of your choosing
- Two cameras, with lighting where it is needed
- Editing, with rounds of your feedback
What you keep
- A 45–60 minute final cut of a life
- The finished film by digital transfer
- A storage device with the interviews, final cut, photos and videos
- A 2-minute trailer, on request
Good to know
The details behind the price.
Payment
50% to begin and 50% on delivery of the final cut, by electronic transfer, with an invoice by email. Changes can still be made to the final cut once the balance is paid.
Travel
I film right across Victoria. Travel beyond a 100 km radius is charged at 88 cents per kilometre past the 100 km mark — the rate set by the ATO.
Timing
Around five to six weeks end to end: a week of background interviews, a day of filming, a fortnight for the first edit and a fortnight for changes.
