old school Posted October 6, 2014 Report Share Posted October 6, 2014 October is here again and that means yearly IA rate increase. Not sure for the film and TV gang, but commercials are now $71.80 hour which is $789.80 for 10 hours. Don't spend it all in one place.;~_ CrewC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff Wexler Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Hey, Crew, now I think I know one of the reasons why you've been smiling all these years doing commercials. That's some seriously good money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old school Posted October 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Tuna Sushi double R. @JW, you know me, I like to smile.;~) but as you also know, Roger showed me the time/money ratio of commercials a long time ago. I never did commercials for the dough though, just as a way to stay home and be a family man. I love and cherish my film days where I fulfilled my original dream of being a film maker in the crafts, working with the best. Thanks to you I got there. After that I loved and had a blast being a dad, and doing commercials. I was lucky, it paid well and most of the people in the game are good. BTW, out of curiosity, what is Film & TV scale? It's not that far off as I recall. CrewC I love October...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Reilly Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 Hmm..interesting..bet many reading here read ":$71.80 hour which is $789.80 for 10 hours. Don't spend it all in one place." with a raised eyebrow. I mean..categorically: "commercials"? Please explain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old school Posted October 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 $71.80 an hour is the union scale under the L A IATSE commercial contract. 10 hour minimum. No question that this fact doesn't answer. The IA has many contracts that have different tiers of pay for different types of work. At this point in time I only really know commercials.

dolo72 Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 The UK APA (Advertising producers association) rate for sound hit £500 for a 10hr day in June this year. Very nice rate which translates to $804 a day in US but you get much more for your money stateside. I think this is why my freinds in Drama are all telling me to stick to commercials, plus you get to see your loved ones more often.
