Updated Jan 29, 2020. Here is a list of things that will affect the price of your custom video or picture set. These prices are in addition to my base price for videos/pictures.
Factors that Affect Both Videos and Pictures
There are pricing factors that will affect both custom video and picture set pricing.
-
- Nail Polish: If you want a specific nail polish color on the toes or fingers, it is an additional $15, which will go directly to the model as compensation for a nail polish color change at a salon. If you want a specific polish on BOTH the fingernails and toenails, it is $30. This also includes the requirement of no nail polish (unless the model already has no polish). Also note that I require a 7-day advance notice on specific nail polish colors, so it won’t be possible for a model to have a specific toenail polish two days before our scheduled shoot.
- Video/Picture Props: I charge for all video/picture props that cost more than $2 collectively for each video. So, if you want a model to eat a whole chicken, you will be invoiced for the rotisserie chicken. If you want the model to crush a giant plastic toy car, you will be invoiced for the toy car. Alternatively, for non-food items, you can send me the props or items you want for the video. Food items must be billed to you and purchased by me (including bubble gum).
- Location: If I have to leave my home and go somewhere else to film the video or take the pictures (for instance – inside a grocery store, at a local park, a downtown area, the side of the road, etc), it will cost more because your video will require more time to shoot. There is not a set amount this will increase the price. It will depend on exactly where we need to go.
- Clothing & Style: Videos or pictures involving risque outfits (lingerie, thongs, bras exposed, etc) are priced higher than those where the model is in everyday clothing. Some models are not okay with bikinis or lingerie. Before submitting your custom inquiry, you may want to contact me first and see if your preferred model is okay with the outfit selection. Also, if the outfit takes a while to get into (or if you want really elaborate makeup, hair styles, etc), it will increase the price because time involved to get ready for the video/pictures will also increase. The number of outfits and/or different pairs of shoes required for your custom video will affect the pricing as well. Each additional outfit and/or pair of shoes is $10. So for example, having a model wear 3 pairs of shoes in the video would increase your price by $20.
- Nail Polish: If you want a specific nail polish color on the toes or fingers, it is an additional $15, which will go directly to the model as compensation for a nail polish color change at a salon. If you want a specific polish on BOTH the fingernails and toenails, it is $30. This also includes the requirement of no nail polish (unless the model already has no polish). Also note that I require a 7-day advance notice on specific nail polish colors, so it won’t be possible for a model to have a specific toenail polish two days before our scheduled shoot.
Other Factors for Custom Videos
There are other factors that will increase the price per minute for custom videos. The base price is $6/minute (effective Nov 11, 2015) for a very BASIC and simple video. This would be a video in everyday casual clothing with no camera interaction from the model, no dialogue, and one general camera angle. Examples would be a model sitting and chewing gum and blowing bubbles or a model walking around in or showing off some type of footwear. There is a 5-minute minimum for videos. The following factors increase the price per minute for custom videos (in addition to the list above that applies to both videos and pictures).
- Camera Angles: As mentioned above, my lowest price per minute is for one general camera angle (for example: full body, close-up of the shoes while standing still or sitting). If your video needs multiple angles and cuts, that will increase the price some because it will involve more time (moving camera lights, editing pieces together, etc).
- Conversation: Conversation varies from general conversation (for example, “Do you think I should wear these shoes tonight?”) to sexual in nature (for example, “I’ll let you jerk off”). Please note that some models are not okay with sexually explicit dialogue. Before submitting your custom inquiry, you may want to contact me first and see if your preferred model is okay with the dialogue you require.
- Demeanor: Pricing also depends on the level of interaction you want from the model. Is she supposed to pretend the camera isn’t there? Or do you want her to look at the camera and be flirty or controlling? Do you want her to casually walk around, or do you want her to run her hands over her body seductively? This factor somewhat goes along with the above factor regarding conversation. I do not shoot any videos that involve actual sexual acts (such as masturbation), with any of Fanta’s models or myself. Please see ‘What I Do Not Film.’
- Details: If you write a novel for a 5 or 10 minute video, the price is going to be more than for a short, one-paragraph script because it will take more time to film and produce your video. By no means am I discouraging you not to submit as many details as possible. I’d be happy to do the video so long as the model is compensated for the time involved.
- Prep/Clean-Up Time: Some video will take more time with prep work (such as tracking down objects to use for the video, getting bubblegum ready to blow bubbles, moving furniture around, setting the scene the way you’ve requested, etc). Other scenarios may involve some clean-up afterwards (such as pie-in-the-face, other messy videos, and walking in mud barefoot, just to name a few). I don’t have a specific amount this will increase your custom video price as it will depend on your specific scenario and how much time I estimate it will take.
- Cranking, Revving, Driving, etc: I (Scarlet), along with Celeste & Mojo, are the only models available for these types of custom videos on Fanta Productions. All other models are handled by Shish through PTP. Effective Feb 1, 2020, these types of videos start at $125 for 5 minutes. Other factors might increase your price, like stalling the car while out in traffic, anything above mild revving, hard driving for majority of the video, etc. If I am able to do stuck custom videos, they start at $175 for a 5 minute video.
So, generally speaking, your price per minute is based on what you want the model to wear, how you want her to talk and act in the video, where you want your video shot, how detailed the script will be, and how much time I estimate it will take to film the video.
Other Factors for Custom Pictures
My base price per picture is $2 with one model and $3 per picture for two models. That is for general pictures in one outfit/pair of shoes. There is a 20-picture minimum with picture sets. The following factors increase the price per picture (in addition to the list at the top that applies to both videos and pictures):
- Poses: If you want very specific poses for some or all of the pictures in your picture set, it will increase the price per picture because of time involved. I am not discouraging you if you want very specific poses, and I will be happy to do them. Typically this is a $1/picture increase if you want specific poses, but it could be more depending on what you want.
- Difficulty: If you are wanting pictures of something very specific that might be hard to accomplish (for instance, bubbles blown to head-sized), it will increase the price per picture for the whole set. With that example, it might take us 30 minutes to get that specific picture or pictures, as it depends on factors out of my control (the gum/model in this example). I will usually tell you upfront if something might not be possible picture-wise, or if I am not sure it will turn out the way you are envisioning it. If you would still like to attempt the picture set anyway and I am not able to get exactly what you asked for, I do not refund money for that. I don’t offer refunds for this because I will have told you upfront it might not be possible, and you have agreed to move forward anyway, and I can guarantee we will have spent at least 15-20 minutes trying to get the specific image(s) you asked for.
So, generally speaking, the price for picture sets is based on what you want the model to wear, where you want the pictures taken, if you want specific poses or just general shots, and how difficult it might be to get pictures of what you are asking for.
These are just guidelines. It’s best to submit a custom inquiry and let me quote you the exact price. By submitting a custom inquiry, you do not have to commit to purchasing a custom. If the price is out of your budget for the time being, just let me know, and we can do it at a later date. Please feel free to contact me with any further questions you may have.
