The 1 k per finished minute thing as a rule of thumb has been outdated
since the late 80's. That it sometimes still works out to that figure
is more by chance than design. It was predicated on a much smaller
universe of camera technology options and more restricted access to
editing, and makes certain assumptions that may not be the case today.
With today's tools, a guy who really knew his business could do that
1980's job for $50 per finished minute and yet deiver higher quality.
Conversely, the lowered barriers to entry mean any guy with two grand
can be a "player" in terms of the gear, but may not have the skills and
discipline to pull off the complete production, making expensive
mistakes that double the cost and the timeline for completion.
