How much does it cost to hire Giovanni Berriel?
The cost of hiring Giovanni Berriel depends on the scope of the project, so every quote is prepared individually.
The main factors are the number of shoot days, the locations and any travel involved, the number and length of final videos, and how many platform versions are needed. A single social media reel for a Jakarta brand is a very different job from a multi-day travel series across Indonesia. Giovanni Berriel recommends sharing the budget range with the brief, so the plan can be shaped to fit it. Contact Gio for an exact quote.
Where does Giovanni Berriel shoot?
Giovanni Berriel is based in Jakarta and shoots on location across Indonesia and Southeast Asia.
Many hotel, product, food, fashion, and event projects take place in Jakarta and nearby areas such as Tangerang, where he has worked with Novotel Tangerang. Travel projects take him to destinations around the country and the region. From experience, travel shoots go smoothest when location access, permits, and on-site contacts are confirmed before the crew arrives.
