Sales office wants field sales tape. You charge just for actor, tapes, travel. Not turning a profit-just covering expenses and building a fund for replacement and maintenance of equipment infrastructure. Flat budget Departmental budget is setup at start of fiscal year and must cover all year's activities without charging any company departments for services. Often end up turning down requests for videos daily or weekly.
Danger is whether projects are coming to department after much thought, since services are free.
Ideally create a treatment and budget along-side. C. Estimate high. Don't plan many field set-ups in a day. Follow a formula. Only two interviews possible in one morning due to lighting, mics, cam setup and travel to two places in bldg.
