My thoughts.... total honesty... walk away.

 

A client like this will never be happy with what you produce, will want change after change and not want to pay for it. He doesn't want to pay for it now. Good luck finding a pro on camera talent that will work for $10 a spot you'll need it.

Thank you, I was starting to think this. I sent him an email saying that I can't lower my already low prices and if he decides he wants to get quotes from other professionals and they are lower, send them over and I'll see what I could do. --- but good luck finding lower prices!! (i didnt say that part haha.)

I am with Bill one this one!

The prices you are quoting are very low and should not be beaten by other professional video production companies, if he queries this any further say " the price is only going to go up" than he will hopefully walk away from you

Again as Bill said hes never going to be happy with the end result and you'll be working on this job for weeks.

My advice RUN!

Thank you all. I replied to him about a month ago that the price I offered is already very low and I mentioned if he could find a lower quote from another professional to send it to me and I'll see what I could do. Haven't heard from him since then.

He was fishing. I had a similar experience. A friend referred an artist to me for video work, I'm i a different state, but still have ties to the area. Exchanged pleasantries via email, she told me she had a video company but they left her "high and dry"  so I thought she was in a tight spot. Gave her a price, if we could do several in a weekend because of the travel time involved. She said she didn't realize I was that far away. In the meantime, I see her promoting her video guy, the one who left her "high and dry" on her facebook page. she was just fishing for a lower price, wasted my time.
