    Question

    I've just been asked to make a couple of short movies for a company my girlfriend works for. As I new to the business I have no idea how much to charge. Should I charge by the minute of finished film or by how long it takes to do? Any help would be great.
    Thank you.

    There is no real cost, only mini DV tapes and a couple of blank DVD's. The main thing is time.
