Default What do I charge?

I have got a sniff at some proper work at last but I have no idea what to charge? Yes I know 'how long is a piece of string', I just want some idea of what is the norm.

It is an outdoor pursuit company looking to develope the corperate ents side of thier business and they want the video (5 mins ish) for thier web site and to use it to spam businesses in a mail shot.

They have seen my web site and like what I have done (oddly). I am confident I can do the job as I have read much, know some clever designer types and have talent offered from friends for music / stills / sound / transport ect.

This would be my first paid job so any ideas what I should expect to get paid? Personally I would be happy to do a costing on expenses plus 14ish quid an hour (my hourly rate in my proper job). Off the top of my head I thought 1500 to 2000 would seem about right. Any thoughts from you industry types ?
