One of my hobbies is to shot video while scuba diving. My girlfriend works for a couple dive shops so we go out on their boats pretty often. While out on one of the last trips we came across a whale shark so everyone got in the water with it. Including me, with my camera. We called the other shop and they came too. So I got video of people from both boats. I collected stills from everyone's camera and put it all together on a DVD.

Now both companies are talking about me making a video of all their trips so they can play them in their shops and on their boats. Promos for the shops and to get them to sign up for more/other activities while out on their boats.

So of course I would agree to do the videos simply because I get to go out on their boats for free. After thinking about it for a while, considering all the work that would be put into these projects it wouldn't seem right not to charge them for it but I am not a professional. I wouldn't even know where to start to come up with a price. So I figure I would ask other that may do the same how much they charge and figure I worth maybe half that. Any ideas? I would guess that the video couldn't be more than 10 to 20 min tops for each.
