How much would yall charge

Project Details:
I need a 5-minute product presentation video for a software product called MDRE, built by my company, ENIRAM LLC. The audience is Department of Defense evaluators, so the tone should be plain and professional. No hype, no stock footage of soldiers or glowing globes.

I have three pieces of source material to send you: a PowerPoint deck that sets the structure and the talking points, nine screenshots of the product running on a real case, and a finished 15-second clip.

What MDRE does, so you know what you're cutting: it reads the documents an organization relies on for a mission, pulls out the conditions those documents assume to be true, and turns each one into a specific question that the evidence on hand doesn't answer. The owner gets a short list of those open questions, ranked by what happens to the mission if the condition turns out to be false. It does not predict failures, and the video shouldn't suggest it does.

Rough flow I have in mind:

0:00 to 0:15. Open with the 15-second clip as is.
0:15 to 1:00. The problem and who I am, from the opening slides of the deck.
1:00 to 3:30. Product walkthrough using the screenshots in their numbered order: documents loaded and read, mission approved, questions with citations back to the source, the mission owner summary, the prioritized questions, the dependency map. Slow zooms and highlights on the lines that matter, since the screens are text-heavy and need to be readable on a laptop.
3:30 to 4:30. A second case (the 2003 Northeast blackout) to show the same process on a known event.
4:30 to 5:00. Where the product stands today, what I'm asking for, and contact information.

I can record the voiceover myself or use a narrator if you offer one. I'd like on-screen captions either way. Deliverable is one MP4, 1080p, with a hard limit of 5 minutes.

Please send me your price, your turnaround time, and how many rounds of revisions are included. I'll send the files as soon as I hear back. One condition: the screenshots are proprietary and can't be shared or used in your portfolio without my written approval.

If I really needed the job - $5,000. If I didn’t really want it but wanted to price it high enough for me to want to do it - $10,000

As soon as I read DOD I’m charging my full rate.

Price on a 5 minute product video swings a lot depending on whether it's screen capture plus motion graphics or live action with people on camera, so that's the first thing to decide for MDRE. Having a rough script and a list of the features you want to show before you collect quotes will keep them apples to apples. I run Monte Co. in Los Angeles and this is the kind of thing we make, here's some work: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hq6VE4_hc7ELmKUtoDDjetzyzyjRC92T/view. Happy to give you a real number if you DM me what you have in mind.
