Questions we get
What is a Director of Photography day rate in Miami?
Published Miami rates run from about $1,000–1,400 a day for a DOP without equipment to $2,500–4,000 at the top, and a camera and lighting package adds $350–600 or more a day. Our full day is $1,950 with the complete kit included.
What camera do you shoot on?
Our own: two Sony A7S III bodies and a Sony A7 III, Sony G Master 16–35, 24–70 and 70–200 lenses, DJI RS 3 Pro gimbal, two Aputure 200x lights and Nanlite tubes, DJI Mic 2 wireless audio. For bigger productions we rent ARRI, RED or Sony VENICE / FX bodies, which our founder has operated on set.
Can you bring a bigger crew?
Yes. We regularly put together a gaffer, sound recordist, focus puller and assistants for the job. Each extra crew member is priced per day in the quote.
What about overtime?
Extra hours are $250 each. If a day is likely to run long, we quote it as a full day from the start.
Do you fly drones?
Commercial drone work needs an FAA Part 107 certified pilot. We bring in a licensed pilot when a job needs aerials and put the cost on its own line.
