How it works
We start with a quick call about the show, the venue, and what you need from it, whether that's announcement clips, a recap, social cuts, or a full set. I shoot on site, sync audio, and deliver edits formatted for each platform. Turnaround depends on the project, and we agree on it upfront.
Common questions
How much does it cost to film a concert or comedy show?
Shoot rates are $450 for 2 hours, $750 for a half day (up to 4 hours), and $1,250 for a full day (up to 8 hours). Editing is quoted separately based on the project, starting at $75/hour. For multi-day or tour work, I send a written estimate after a short call. Full rates are on the pricing page.
Do you travel for tour dates?
Yes. I'm based on Long Island and cover NYC regularly, and I travel for tour dates across the US.
Can you film a full comedy set or special?
Yes. I shoot multi-camera with a dedicated room mic, so you get clean audio and audience reactions for full sets or clips.
Can you make short clips for social media?
Yes. I cut vertical clips, teasers, and highlight reels for tour announcements, recaps, and ongoing posting.
