Last year I was approached by an Australian company needing sound guys for content jobs.
Ok a job is a job!
First job a red carpet job at local low rent music awards
Worked out to be 3 hours for $300 labour and gear (i paid $20 for parking)
More recently "we need you for a job in south Auckland" (45 minutes from where I live)
The rate $200
I said no thanks!
On the shoot day I receive an urgent phone call at 9.00am
"we need you here urgently!"
Sorry not available!
