Diving Video/DVD

[daz]

As some of you know, I've dabbled a bit with underwater Videography both around the UK and abroad.

I've put together a few videos of different places and was wondering whether anyone would be interested in copies of any of the footage for a small price?

I was thinking of putting together a compilation DVD (or Video for you technophobes), bit of simple editing and throw some music over the top. Footage would probably include areas such as Red Sea, Gozo, Thailand, Philippines, Porthkerris.

So at this stage I am interested to know if you MIGHT be interested. Just a straight Yes or No.

Please feel free to suggest what you might consider a reasonable price!

Cheers,
Daz

Price will depend on quality and if a % goes to RNLI (?).

How long would the video be?

ps. nice idea.

Thanks for the feedback so far.. So what would be reasonable?

20% / 25% / 30% donation to the RNLI?

What would you consider a reasonable price to pay for a strictly non-professional DVD (albeit, most of the people who have seen my work have been very complimentary).

About an hour long?, maybe an hour and a half?

To be honest I already have an idea of what sort of price would make it worthwhile for me to do. Anything over and above I would be more than happy to donate to RNLI.

If a DVD in a nice box with printed outer and menus about 1hr long I'd say £10 with 40% going to RNLI. Thats £6 to you more than enough to cover cost of blank DVD's, printing the cover and your hassle factor, P&P etc.

Cheers Tim,

Subject to the quality of the footage obviously.

OK seems like a good ball park figure to run with, let's base it on that at the moment (hmmm need to sort out some printed cover....), everything else is doable.

Just sent you a PM Tim, check it out. If you agree then that will be the first step as to whether it is worth doing and maybe some constructive feedback on what people can expect.

Cheers,

Thanks for the interest so far.

I'm looking at a few options and have a willing impartial volunteer who will review the footage to provide feedback, constructive criticism and the like.

Tim has made some good points around packaging and the RNLI. Too be honest this is not a money making scheme by any means. (Christ anyone who has got into Underwater Videography is kidding themselves if they see it as a way to make money ).

It's going to take a week or so with postage and the like before I get feedback from my chosen victim (oops volunteer!). But I'll keep all interested parties up to speed.

There are a few YDers who have seen some of my footage already Mark Chase, DaveJ and the like so if they want to add any comments on the limited stuff they have seen so far then great.

Either way, whatever option I go for, I'll offer a satisfaction guarenteed or your money back

Thanks again,
Daz
