no worries... PG & VG can't be the same person. Do not be lured into very cheap packages... However, it does not equate that expensive must be good...
If you are on a budget, i would say
[email protected] is very good in his PG.
PG can be as low as $300-$450, these are what some BS are charging if you are adding to your BS package... However do note that the PG who will be your AD might not be from the BS but rather some freelance PG that have some working relationship with the BS.
My advice is to look through what you like. If you were to ask blur btb, her PG are in the range of 2-3k... I nearly fainted.. heehee... Some of the really top end ones can easily charge 5-6k... Zzzz..... but do note that if you are engaging from those big establishments, they have a huge overhead cost. They got studio rental, advertising and etc.
VG likewise, the cheapest i have seen so far was $988... However, the quality is lacking. Some freelancers are emailing me $1888 for PG & VG complete package... Its neither here nor there.
Its a very interesting process. My VG comes up to $2100++, which includes AD VG, Express Highlights & ROM VG on a separate day. At first glance, it might cost more than Forest Productions. But i do like what i see in their works and etc.. Take note that some PG/VG have hidden cost. Shall not dwell too much on that.
Forest Production has a package which you can consider. Think its $2000-3000.. There will be surcharge coz they going to revise their prices soon... The prices that they are charging, i might as well take ala carte and is still better. In terms of photos, videos and equipment used. Not mentioning pre-services rendered and looking through their portfolio, i am blown away..
BS package is ard $3++k
PG is way below 1k if you engage Shu Yen.
VG is like 1-2k at least..
hope it helps
