The Basic Price

We charge a fixed price for the entire Basic Package of $75 per hour of interview (minimum 2 hours, in one session).  All transportation costs to and from your local Washington area home are included. All time spent scanning and editing is included.  Out of pocket costs of producing a single DVD package are included.  

Optional Additional charges:

Scans of photos or documents beyond 40 are charged at 20 cents each.

Production of additional DVD sets (beyond 1) are charged at $15 each.

Additional interview time (beyond 4 hours over 2 sessions) is charged at $75 per hour of interview in 2-hour increments.  An enhanced package containing the basic and additional interviews contains all components of the basic package, except that the enhanced package does not contain any additional video stories, beyond the basic package. 

The cost of additional video stories (beyond 1) would be subject to negotiation, based on the ease of producing a story from the interview materials, the need for background web-based research, and the availability of photo and document archive to support their production.
