I think it goes back to what Dan is saying about agencies not wanting to bring the price down (and I don't blame them...who wants to ever charge less?) at a time when people can't justify high production costs VS ROI on the shoot.

That's just my opinion by the way. Educated guess with absolutely nothing to back it up. So if I'm wrong feel free to enlighten us.
Not accurate in my case. I don't sell my services on the basis of price. I'm probably more expensive than many producers. There are a lot of other factors that go into content production from style, access to fresh talent, lighting, videography, creativity, costumes & props, reliability & follow through and the business relationships that develop over time. Thanks to the support of a lot of great people & companies over the last nineteen years I have managed to carve out a few niches for myself & my services and I am excited about a couple of new ones ready to launch this year.
