4. Delivery of Footage
Your footage needs to be delivered to us within 72 hours following the event.
Our preference is that you render the clips together so that each game is one fluid clip. If you’re unable to do this, then we prefer that you at least organize the clips in a folder to indicate which clips go with which game.
If you prefer to mail your sd cards, we will require that you provide us with a tracking number. You will be reimburse for shipping and the sd card will be returned to you after footage retrieval.
For Uploading footage- we will share our google suite drive link and you will be required to upload to this platform.
5. Payments
Arrival and Departure times: Ensure that you record both your arrival and departure times as this will be how we determine what is due.
A deposit will be sent once confirmed hire before event and remaining balance will be sent once we confirm receipt of all footage has been reviewed by our team after footage has been uploaded. (We prefer that you have a paypal account as it simplifies the process but can also make arrangements through venmo or cashapp)
You will be hired as a 1099 contractor.
The pay rate will be based on the event you are shooting for and discussed before hire.
The pay rate can be deducted if videographer doesn't perform the task at hand.
