What is your policy on taking breaks? If you require a meal break, do you require that the client provide your meal?
I break only for quick meals (lunch and dinner) on long shooting days.
Do you charge overtime?
There is no overtime. I do not charge an hourly rate. Instead, I will shoot for as long as necessary to create the particular film for which you've hired me.
Do you give access to your raw footage?
Raw footage is generally not available, nor recommended for a variety of reasons.
Do you reserve the right to use the video in the future for promotions, contents, etc.?
I respect your privacy. I will use your film for promotional use only if you have given me permission to do so.
Is the client involved in the editing process? If so, how much input does the client have in editing?
You are free to involve yourself in the planning as much as you like, or you can take a hands-off approach and entrust the planning to me.

Time for the editing process varies according to the time of year.
