Custom Computer Builds
Custom Computer Builds
I have decades of experience building computers and I always build with an eye to quality. I tell you exactly what the parts cost me, I will even give you copies of my receipts. What you pay extra for is my experience, support, knowledge and expertise. We start with determining what you need the computer system to do for you, budgetary considerations, upgrade path, security concerns, optional equipment & peripherals, etc.
The next step is researching the parts based on what we learned in the previous step. I take great care when building a system, I do not rush, I do it right. From cable management, to careful assembly followed by installation of the operating system. I take the time to thoroughly test the finished computer. I ensure all the latest, stable drivers and software are installed and properly tested. In addition to the operating system I also install bench marking and testing software and I install a remote tech support package called Awesun. This is a secure software package that allows me to login to your system over the internet and do technical support remotely. If you wish to have me install other software packages such as office software, CAD, Video editing software or creative suites I would bill you extra for that over and above the build fee.
You pay for parts, equipment, shipping, software, etc plus my build fee.
Basic build fee for one computer system and up to 3 peripherals: $500

Graphics Design (Logo & Brand Identity)
Graphics Design (Logo & Brand Identity)
My experience with graphics design starts in 1996 when I designed my own logo for my first computer business. I went on to design and publish business cards, a free press news paper, websites and icons for software as well as Graphical User Interfaces. Through sheer repetition I have gotten fast and can reproduce an existing logo of any complexity or design you a new one. Call or Email for a quote today.
We start the process with a questionnaire as part of the discovery process. We use the information gained from the questionnaire to collaborate with the client to achieve their goals in creating a brand identity design.
We deliver a full Design brief with style guide and mock ups for your full product range. You can find our questionnaire here.
We work with you every step of the way to achieve the goals you set for your company. We help you match your brand to both your existing customers and the new clientele you wish to attract to your brand.
YouTube Thumbnails
YouTube Thumbnails
I will design an eye catching clickable thumbnail for your YouTube channel. You can supply as much detail as you want and I'll do the rest. You can suggest colours, fonts, style, images etc. or I can decide what I think you need. You do need to provide what the thumbnail should say. Pricing will vary depending on how fancy you want it and what you provide. See below for an example of what it could look like.
Pricing is usually $10 to $20 and includes 1 or 2 revisions (depending on the price).

Video Editing
Video Editing
I edit video projects in DaVinci Resolve Studio. I have edited hundreds of videos. I do mostly projects oriented towards YouTube but I have done some editing in 4K and can handle all aspects of these types of projects including sound design, colour correction, special effects, compositing, 2D & basic 3D graphics. Feel free to check out my recent projects on my portfolio page or check out my YouTube channel. Call or Email for a quote today. Finished projects can be rendered in a variety of formats and Codecs including H.264, H.265, MPEG, Quick Time, Pro RES, etc. The raw project files can be provided for an extra charge. DaVinci Resolve Studio can handle full 7.1 surround or Dolby Atmos as well as HDR production.
How much time a project takes depends on the complexity of the project. A 10 minute video can take as little as an hour to edit (including intro, outro, auto balance colour, upload to YouTube, thumbnail graphic, etc), or it can take several hours or in extreme cases, it could take days. It depends on the number of cuts, text, special effects, colour correction, compositing, syncing of multi cam footage, audio processing, speed ramping, re-timing, etc. Some editors in the industry charge a flat rate per minute of finished, rendered video, but in my view, there are just too many variables for me to work that way. I would be willing to quote a set fee for a finished project if it is a large scale job but as a general rule, I bill by the hour for actual time spent editing.
That said, I am flexible and will entertain other options. If you have a YouTube channel an are monetized and wanted to hire me full time we could discuss salary or even revenue sharing on the videos I edit.
$35.00 CAD: Per hour of editing time.
