Greensburg damage and tornado video wanted

[Bill Hark]

I received this e-mail and told the person I would pass it on as I didn't chase the Greensburg storm. Below is the quote from the e-mail and contact info. I make no judgements on the source, price etc; just passing on a request.

Hi - i'm trying to get some footage of the tornado and damage of
greensburg kansas for a video i'm producing for the US Green Buidling
Council. Can you help me out? I have a super low budget so if i could
get footage for like $100 or so that would be great. i only need
like :!5 - :30 total. Let me know. thanks!

This is exactly what I am talking about..."super low budget"
Give me a break!!

I wouldn't even sell them, like :!5 of general storm footage for $100 LOL. I agree that it is funny they have a super low budget when both the phone number prefixes are from the LA/Hollywood area. Just another production company trying to rip off chasers from their hard earned footage.

I just visited the kontentfilms.com website ... they don't look like a company that should be asking for that kind of footage for $100. Go to "about" and "clients" ...

Someone needs to direct this chick to ST. She needs to be in the arena with all the lions she's mocking.

$100? Hell, for the flash of footage that would get her from me, it wouldn't even be worth the postage on the package. I should just sell her my Macksville stuff as Greensburg, she'd never know the difference. Be about as honest.

10 second minimum

There should always be a 10 second minimum when billing for footage....not worth a persons time otherwise. I always include that as part of a quote. In the end...those who are OK with that usually buy more than than 10 seconds.

I'm still thinking that $35 per second is the minimum too. I would bet Greensburg footage usually goes for more....even if it's not exactly current anymore.

As Heidi recommended I hit the website, what a load of crap....any of the Greensburg stuff I have been selling is going for a lot more. $100.00 does not even cover the time it would cost me to go through the video!!!! This is exactly what I was refering to in the other thread. "Super low Budget" I have heard that so much over the years and frankly I am so sick of it!
