2021 Filmmaker Retainer
Why Retainer
The benefit of having Watch Me Rise on retainer is that we become embedded into your team as your primary video partner to help you strategize and win with videos. By planning out a year’s worth of content ahead of time The Clay Studio saves money overall on the cost of production, as opposed to coming up with videos ideas on short notice.
Additionally, a retainer agreement makes cash flow more predictable and manageable as the cost of video production for the entire calendar year is spread out over the monthly payments.
Produce A strong Video B-Roll Library

This would involve dissecting the last few years worth of video content produced by Watch Me Rise as well as any additional internal or external resources. Also expecting 4 days of new footage collection including construction milestones, the current building, clay mobile programs, and resident artists. We would then organize based on types of footage The Clay Studio would use to promote programs, fundraisers, and exhibitions.
Anyone who needs to will be able to access this library of footage and find what they need quickly. Footge will belong to The Clay studio and can e used across an unlimited number of projects, fever, without the need to worry about licensing.

How it Works
The Clay Studio determines the level of spending for the calendar year.
Both parties agree to spend the amount, deliverables, and a rough calendar of deliverable deadlines.
Watch Me Rise Films sets up a recurring payment across the 12 months
The Clay Studio receives 5 free hours outside of the above projects, which can be used on a small shoot, consulting, editing, and video asset management (b-roll organizing, hard drives).
The Clay Studio breaths a sigh of relief knowing their videos are in good hands all year long.
Total cost…… 28,500
Monthly (based on 11) $2590

I have loved partnering with The Clay Studio for the past several years, they are some of my favorite projects to work on. I’m excited about the possibility of further embedding ourselves into The Clay Studio organization and helping members, donors, customers, artists, students and neighbors experience The Clay Studio.
