Michael McQueen Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 this is an email i got, not sure if its related to the same job or not. but even if i was available i would probably pass on this. the rates are far too low. and no NC person with that amount of gear is going to work for that little. maybe if it were a slow season there might be some bites but those rates just aren't cutting it.

Nicole Hankerson Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 Yeah thats pretty low for labor and gear. Especially needing the wires, hops, and then an IFB. That's already over $200 rental for gear. Maybe they will negotiate and offer more. Nicole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course I'm still wondering and growling (since the 80's) why MTV (VIACOM-Paramount) remains non union... This is why they aren't union: RATE: $450 based on a 12hr day + OT if applicable + $200 Gear Rental. Tech prep will be a half day paid at $225 with no gear rental. most of the guys in charlotte are union(commercial based, not much film based) and will only work for union rates; labor starting at $500/10(thats for mixing). and then full gear rental. I would quote this job around $1100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
studiomprd Posted May 12, 2012 Report Share Posted May 12, 2012 " This is why they aren't union: RATE: " I disagree ... first of all, the IATSE has made many "deals" with lower rates, much lower rates, and gear rates are not part of union contracts.

" plenty of folks will accept that, and, frankly, plenty of them will do a fine job... BTW, I found a good deal on radio mic's that ought to be great to do lo/no budget work. These should be fine with an H2N, or even an H4N http://www.soundprofessionals.com/cgi-bin/gold/item/ATW-251-FR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicole Hankerson Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 They are still looking and me and two other people have declined it. Heads up you will need 8 wireless, 2 ifbs, and they want 5 channel mixer and no iso tracks I had a very big discussion with the quote on quote audio senior mixer. They will NOT give you more money BUT they need a mixer by tomorrow. So maybe they will up the rate. Nicole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProSound Posted May 14, 2012 Report Share Posted May 14, 2012 I spoke with them as well and I talked to like 3 different people and no one had the power to negotiate with me at all. By the time they did get back with me many hours later Another job at my normal rate had booked me. Not worth dealing with people like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the time they did get back with me many hours later Another job at my normal rate had booked me. Not worth dealing with people like this I agree. I spoke with Brook and I asked him where can he rent 8 wireless for $200? He was like I know it's low and you will kind of have to suck it up and I was like no I won't because I'm declining the job. I said they needed to offer more and no one wanted to do that. Nicole Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
