Best of Luck and Nice work!

Half day labor is usually at a premium - 60 to 70% of the full day rate. Kit/box fees can be at the full rate but may be negotiable. However, try renting gear from a rental company for half day at a half day rate. Most won't do it. This is why your producer side needs to add 20% to the budget...

You need to add the walls and ceiling ripping and burning as the beam hits them. Add particles of dust etc. Nice work.

I think the word for this is "Awesome!"

Can't say I watched the whole thing, corporate videos usually have targeted audiences, but I thought it was fine. Just need drop the music volume to better here the interview.

I know some of the criticisms are harsh but most are relevant. That's how you learn. Take what you learned from this and make more movies. You have some natural talent now read as much as you can and makes lots of not so great movies before you make a great one.

Uhh...that's a lot of money to request when most of the work is being done by other people. It might make a good two minute youtube video but 90 minutes of words?
