I've been asked to do a job for a new facility which will have professionals come in and train people on the new systems in the building. They are wanting to video tape these training sessions and create some DVD's to use when future employees come in.
The scheduled training sessions are about 18-20 hours of time throughout a single week. There will be 9 sessions of about 2 hours each covering 9 different topics. So, as a result there will be a separate DVD for each session. They also want 3 copies of each session for a total of 27 DVD copies.
What would you guys charge for this kind of project? This is a lot larger than any wedding I've done so I'm not certain that my pricing structure is scaling properly. And of course they want a full estimate.

EXTRA NOTES:
Some session are in the morning and some in the afternoon. The sessions will be in different locations and I would expect to be sort of a hands on type of training covering things like the HVAC, Electrical Systems, Kitchen Equipment (industrial), etc. This is quite a large facility.
I expect to only use a single camera most of the time simply because of the need to be mobile and move with the group. Most everything will have to be captured in the moment, but there may be a chance to go back and do a pick up or two for clarification or to get small details if needed. I expect to edit things later to cut out dead time or unimportant info.
The type of DVD will likely be whatever I come up with. I figured as a minimum I would try to break up the sessions into topics for quicker reference during later viewings. They want everything labeled and cases, but not any special graphics.
I think this job is kind of a last minute thought, so I'm not sure they know what they want except just "training videos for later". My fear is that they were thinking maybe $1,000 would get the job done. I don't know. I guess when I submit the estimate in a few days I'll find out how big or small they were thinking.
