#6. The YouTuber – Package Price $1000
Similar to tubers found in nature, this one in potato-like fashion is a little clunky or just kinda lays there with a bit of girth around its middle. “Quick-n-Dirty” this guy basically has no coverage to speak of and has straight cuts for edits just to trim out a bit of the fat.

#7. The Flip Clip – Price $675
Shot with The Flip pocket camcorder or something like it. A one-person team shooting with a mini camcorder or smartphone camera. We then chop it together with simple title cards here and there. Voila! Post it to the web!

#8. The Clip – Price $80 per hour
Basically a footage-ectomy wherein we extract the desired bit, maybe slap on a white-on-black title card and some lower-3rds and beam this little space soldier directly to you or a video-sharing site of your choosing.

Values

Named after Sayajit Ray’s film The Big City about a young mother who takes a job to support her family despite social mores frowning on women in the workplace, our company keeps an optimistic eye trained on what is possible even against the greatest of odds. Furthermore, we give clients this “view from above” while keeping our feet on the ground. We are dedicated to seeking out the finest strategies for communicating messages clearly but also to thoroughly engaging audiences and end-users with product tailored to their individual imaginations. In fact, respect for the individual is the foundation on which we write, design, photograph, animate and edit our work. We aim to inspire the heart and mind by reserving space for individual expression during execution and audience participation at end-use. We want to leave people feeling, thinking, having something to say about their experience. That is the essence of the wealth of opportunities, the multiplicity of moments and pictures, the unending hope a metropolis affords to everyone. Welcome to the big city… _____________________________________________________________________________________________
