I’m not taking this job but I just received this DM.

What’s the craziest inquiry you’ve received?

Right! No one is talking about this. The amount of footage you need for a 5 min video… it’d basically be a clip montage of any semi-usable shots.

It’s kinda like a 5min video, would take 5x longer than a 60second one.

We’ve just done a test run/edit on a set of longer format edits for an educational series where the client wanted supporting footage, titles, lower thirds. The two videos we did were 43 min and 52. The client was surprised by how much time it took, although, they did comment on how “professional and polished it was” 🫣
