How it works:
For any time spent on-location for drone operations that exceeds the allotted time in your chosen package due to unforeseen delays or additional requests on-site. This rate includes pilot's time, equipment use, and basic on-site data management. Billed in 15-minute increments.
How it works:
If you want more high-resolution, edited photos beyond the number included in your package, you can select them from the raw footage, and they will be professionally edited and delivered.
How it works:
If your final edited video needs to be longer than the maximum length included in your chosen package, the extra minutes of final edited video will be billed at this rate.
How it works:
This is a separate, premium service for clients who explicitly request all unedited, raw video and/or photo files directly from the drone's camera. These files are typically very large and require specific software to view or edit. It's ideal for clients with their own in-house post-production team or who want to archive all original footage. This fee covers the labor, equipment, and storage involved in preparing and transferring these large datasets. Raw footage is NOT included in any packages unless specifically added.
How it works:
If you need your final deliverables (photos or video) faster than the standard turnaround time specified in your package (e.g., within 24-48 hours), this fee applies. Subject to Verve Collective's current workload and availability.
How it works:
This covers the cost of travel (fuel, vehicle wear, time) for locations beyond a 30-mile radius from Columbia, MO. Mileage is calculated round trip from our base to your location.
How it works:
This rate is for projects where the client primarily needs drone capture time without a specific pre-defined final edited product (e.g., for data collection, long-term monitoring, or providing raw footage for their own internal team). It covers the pilot's time on-site, including flight planning, setup, actual flight time, safety operations, basic on-site data management, and initial data transfer to a provided drive or cloud service. This rate explicitly DOES NOT include any post-production (editing). All raw footage collected during this hourly period is provided to the client. Billed in 15-minute increments.
