Do you use your phone? A DSLR camera? Which camera do you use?

Hey guys, I’m planning to start taking on small filmmaking projects (Reels / short videos for restaurants or local businesses) and I’m currently trying to figure out what a realistic starting price could look like. I understand that in the beginning you often do free or low-paid projects to build portfolio and experience. Still, I’d really appreciate some insight: What did you charge for your first paid Reel (shooting + editing)? What was your initial price range? And at what point did you start increasing your rates? I’m attaching a Reel I shot a few months ago. It happened spontaneously - I was having dinner at a restaurant, had my camera with me, checked their Instagram quickly and asked the owner if he’d be open to a quick video for Instagram. We filmed for about 10 minutes and I edited it right after. The whole thing was very spontaneous - and I genuinely enjoyed the process. Shooting, editing and turning around something quickly felt really good. In the end, he didn’t post it. I assume he wasn’t 100% happy with it, but I learned a lot from the experience. I’d appreciate your honest feedback: How does the Reel come across to you? What would you improve? And what would you consider a fair starting price for something like this? Thanks a lot, Marco ☀️
