I totally see your point. But I'm genuinely not trying to " fleece " anyone.

There are plenty of professions where you pay less for experience; hairdressing, make up artists, plumbers, tattoo artists, Christ I've even paid less to see a dentist in training for a check up...

If I was offering £500 to an a videographer with ten years experience, absolutely I'm a dick.

But I'm trying to offer someone a chance to make some money, and the stress free side of it for me. I don't NEED a fancy video that took 10 hours to edit.

I want a funny video of my uncle getting pissed, and of me and my husband bumbling around on a dancefloor, that we can watch back in future years.

I don't understand all the hate I'm getting for that?

It really doesn't matter, as I've had several messages that I'll be discussing to see if THEY are interested. That was the point of this post, it was directed at those who are up for this sort of agreement, if people aren't I don't understand why they bothered to get involved if they had no intention whatsoever of offering their services or even bothering to find out what I was going to suggest in terms of payment.... It's people jumping on the negativity bandwagon and it's quite depressing reading it.

I'm choosing to focus on the positives, which are people were concerned I might be trying to take advantage of a young person and ask them to do it for free, or next to no pay. Which I'm not.
