My New Five Dollar Video Service

December 10, 2014 By Ron Dawson

I hear a lot of videographers and other professional creatives complaining and whining about sites like Fiverr, where you can get “professional” creative services for only $5. Look people, this is the way of things. You can either bitch and complain, or you can go with the flow.

So as of today I’m excited to offer a new $5 Video Service called “Five Dolla’ Video.” Here’s what you get:

  • Up to 2 minutes of video production time. (You must meet me at my downtown Starbucks).
  • Shooting with barely crisp 720p HD iPhone 4 camera (white model)
  • 5 minute turn around time (we will email your video to you as soon as we stop rolling. No other video production company can match that turn around time).
  • A $2.50 deposit is due at time of contract signing (payable via Paypal). The balance is due prior to us emailing your video (we accept cash, credit, or Amazon.com or iTunes gift cards).
  • EDIT: This just in! For an additional $1.75 we’ll add Instagram filters. (Note: adding this feature doubles the turn around time. So please make sure you really need it, or at least can wait an extra five minutes).

A La Carte Services

You can enhance your video with these other video services:

  • If you actually need a well conceived and thought-out idea for your video from a professional with over a quarter of a century of business experience, you can get a creative brief for just $1500.
  • If you would like your video shot on a digital cinema camera as opposed to an iPhone, you can upgrade for as little as $250. (Add $600 if you need someone to actually man it).
  • Some clients actually need more time than the allotted two minutes. For as little as $600 you can upgrade to up to 4 hours of shooting. (Add another $500 if you want lights).
  • Some clients need professional quality editing, audio mixing and color grading. If that’s you, starting at only $1200 we can take the video we shot for you and make it amazing!

We at Dare Dreamer Media believe in the power of freedom. With our new “Five Dolla’ Video” service, you now can have the freedom to get the kind of video you deserve.

Operators are standing by. Just call 800-555-DOLLA.

    I’ve shamelessly stolen this idea and set up a gig on Fiverr.com like this. Thanks!

      You beat me to the punch Steve. But since we’re in different markets, it’ll be fine. 🙂

        There are plenty of $5 gigs to go around, Ron! Good luck.

    Brilliant. Makes me want to adapt this for photography.

      The beauty of my plan is that you can ACTUALLY provide this service. I would genuinely have no problem providing this service for five bucks.

    I’m waiting to see how many folks ask for a discount on the $5 video. LOL

    Too funny Ron! If I lived closer I’d take you up on the offer just to have coffee with you 🙂

    For a additional $5 I will use a Note 4 and shoot it in 4K. Note: 2hr upload time.
