Rates & Production Details

The important stuff.

Enough detail to budget confidently without turning the page into a contract.

Production days
A standard full production day includes up to 10 hours. Half-day packages include up to 5 hours. Extended schedules can be accommodated as required by the project.
Production management
Routine coordination associated with a standard Three Cheers production is included. When Three Cheers is responsible for substantial production management involving crew hiring, rentals, locations, vendors, talent, schedules or other significant logistics, a 10% production management fee applies to applicable production costs.
Travel
Travel days are billed at 50% of the applicable full-day labor rate. Airfare, hotel, rental vehicles, mileage, parking, tolls, baggage, equipment fees, ground transportation and other approved travel expenses are estimated during budgeting and reconciled against actual costs on the final invoice.
Equipment & specialty rentals
Equipment packages are configured according to the needs of the production. Specialty cameras, lenses, lighting, grip equipment, locations, permits, talent, art department, expendables and third-party rentals are quoted separately when required.
Post-production scope
Deliverable pricing assumes organized source material and a standard revision workflow. Base editing does not include graphics, color grading, final sound, music/score, VFX, titles or mastering. Those finishing services, extensive footage review and unusually compressed turnaround are quoted separately.
