A content creator makes the thing itself: they appear in it, shoot it, cut it and hand it over ready to post. You are not hiring a crew, you are hiring one person who can take a product and turn it into something people watch to the end.
Most short-form work is priced per video or as a small batch, and a batch is almost always better value than one piece — the setup is the expensive part, and once someone is filming, the second and third video cost far less than the first. Turnaround is usually days rather than weeks.
Say what the video is for before you say what you want it to look like. A creator who knows the piece is meant to get people through the door on a Tuesday night will make something different from one who was asked for “a nice video”, and the first one works.
You say what you are trying to achieve rather than what to buy. Lucy shapes it into a brief, prices it against what people here actually charge, and shows you the creators who can do it. You agree a figure before anything starts. The money is held until you approve the work, and Lucy takes 15% of the creator’s fee — never a fee from you, and never anything on approved expenses.
