how much should i ask for compensation?

Hi guys, i just helped my cousin with her comedy show in NYC. she paid for me to uber over from nj for free and i took photos of her 12 min gig. i then edited the photos and sent them over (took like an hour and a half). a few days after, she asked me to

“There is a file
within the file
that has all the pro cameras.

I have a PDF
Which identifies
all the pro cameras
Including B-Roll
And extra B-Roll.

One of the B-rolls
has video of people laughing.

Kindly keep in mind,
the first project is to have one video, one angle centered facing me (no edits of video)

This video should have

  1. The best audio of me delivering the comedy
  2. The best audio of the audience laughing.
  3. Only one centered view of me - you have two options - the video in the main file and the frontal view video of the pro file.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated work :-)
Can’t wait :-) “

It took me about 2 hours to edit in the audience laughs and stuff. then she called and asked if i could crop the video more and change the start time and end time. she also wanted me to up the audience laughter and i did. after i sent her that copy, she face-timed me for an hour and a half, where i did small edits that she wanted. she was very happy at the end saying to let her know what i want for compensation and that I can work with her part time while I’m doing my Masters in the city. How much should I ask for? I was thinking $25 for 5 hours a total of $100 for this total. I have my BFA in Visual Arts with a concentration in Photography and Media so I did a decent job I believe but I’m only 22 with no real work background in this line of work.

Best SONY Lens for LIVE STREAMING on Full Frame Camera

greetings all ..

hope i have a clear answer on this question i am confused on finding answers for

i am a live streamer and my old set was SONY ALPHA 6700 paired with SIGMA 16 1.4

i loved that setup although i am forced to do inbody camera zoom 1.1 or 1.2 sometimes to get the best angle that works for me

" i have action figures consoles etc on my background so even regular zoom of camera looks ok on my setup but sometimes i want more zoom to have me more focused on while streaming "

Now i decided to go to FULL FRAME and i bought SONY A7SIII " couldnt afford FX3 "

and now time to get a lens for it

i already purchased but didnt try yet 24MM 1.4 Master lens

but i keep getting videos telling me that 34MM or even 50MM is better for streaming

that got me real bad since when i asked google about best LENS that matches that old SIGMA 16 .. I Keep getting the answer of " 24MM is best for full frame if u were using 16MM on crop sensor "

so FINAL desicion is not made ..

i am still able to return the 24MM in case if its not the one i need

i like semi-Bulr background " but not much blue that makes background unseen "

and i still didnt test 35 nor 50 to see if the more zoomed in i would like its looks

so help me plz

which one is better for Live streaming / video content for youtube and shorts etc

and if u have the knowledge what are Famous streamers use in thier kits

" so i take reference and check thier stuff to see if that look suitable for me "

thank you for reading this and hope you can help

Just started learning color grading a few days ago. Looking for honest feedback.

I started learning color grading about 3-4 days ago. I've watched a few tutorials, messing around the controls in DaVinci Resolve, and practicing on some log footage that I found online.

This is one of my recent grade.

I honestly have no idea if I'm heading in the right direction or just making things look "cool" without actually grading them well, so I'd love some honest feedback. Also, can someone tell me if i'm starting this colour grading journey correctly or not.

Memory card question

Hi all,

using my gh5 for a shoot on Saturday. To my horror discovered last night one of my memory cards has went walkabout.

away for work until late Friday and the shoot is early Saturday AM so don’t have time to go and buy a replacement in person.

my question is. Is if I buy this https://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-Temperature-RescuePro-recovery-software/dp/B0BXH2WY9Q/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?crid=3J13BTUPAKFZV&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.8YicRZp9GTWbgjhLZH14kjvVcD0IrdzLpWGu1QnBcpM_DXdwXsRHh_ozPw1EfTx9uO27ptCPpvDG2sS_Muate6TZCmDyMz67TbmT8x1zG0DIW5h-pOiNCbwzbGpskD5h__vfLsfeyO-JfZ7zuhCzPpEcvlg0AWvwGRfD6j2LQq-uKIbK3vxg1Di4560BxAQYsYkGoVh97oi2g7mcEeBWPw.ntQSzt8J69gGbFdqW7JjWMupmpHHocSUwnH_hDDRX10&dib_tag=se&keywords=v60+memory+card+128gb&qid=1784189968&sprefix=v60+memory+card+128gb+%2Caps%2C146&sr=8-7&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.d7e5a2de-8759-4da3-993c-d11b6e3d217f

And pair it with the attached image. Using the dual card back up function. Will it cause me problems? It’s a professional shoot where I can’t let anyone down. Sorry if this is vague/noobish. But looking for some help.

TIA
