Is it typical for your clients to request an itemized estimate for a video shoot production from the directors you've engaged in the bidding process? I.e, the costs/fees associated with each individual component of the production, vs a few larger buckets where one is "production" and it's a lump sum?

(3) Play straight, decline X and hope Y converts (4) any other creative ideas ...???
