Marc Got the same email on my way back home last night (gotta love 4am last call). They only want to pay $400/day w/gear. Told them where to shove it, wished them luck, and proceeded to bed a happy camper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marc Hoppe Posted February 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2015 Wow, they obviously don't realize that they're in no position to negotiate, do they. Thought is toss it up for people if they were available, but it's obviously not worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afewmoreyears Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Of course they did..... is anybody really surprised..? But that damn Plumber still charges $75 hr...... and I've called 20 of them... they all charge $75 an hour.... I have more respect for Plumbers... than I do for the brothers and sisters of this trade. There...I said it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Maloney Posted February 9, 2015 Report Share Posted February 9, 2015 Wasn't me I swear. I cannot go out the door for that ! Heck its a 40 mile drive for me to downtown from my suburb. In January I got a email from a so called award winning producer offering me a whopping $1000 !!!! for a 8 day shoot. I politely told him , he could not even rent my mixer for $125 a day He replied back with a rental company where he could rent a mixer for $39 a day I replied no further Cheers Tom Chicago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
