This one from Mandy is tomorrow (Thurs, 20th) and might have room for negotiation. Perhaps with the short notice you can work some magic. For stuff like this I just tell them what equipment they can, and cannot afford.

I worked in radio, back in analog days.

Every now and again, we'd see an ad in Broadcasting magazine for a 'beginning announcer'. It would promise decent pay and shift at an out-of-the-way station. It would also request a 'longform demo reel'.

We'd laugh. This was basically that station's way of replacing their stock of blank tape...

---

[Totally off-topic, but in the 'recycled tape' category:

Through most of the 70s and early 80s, my sound studio had distinctive blue boxes for 5" and 7" reels. We sent out a lot of radio dubs - hundreds a week - and it was cheaper to get custom pre-printed boxes than plain boxes and printed labels.

The boxes had my name on them, since that was also the name of the company.

...

Sold the studio in '84 and went to work for a big post house. One of our gigs was playing home base for CBS Sports when playoffs were in Boston.

Playoff time. I'm about to mix a live sports insert. Producer hands me the v/o, recorded by their network voice in LA.

It's in a blue box with my name on it!

The spot title and advertiser had been crossed out, and "Boston V/O" scribbled in.

I didn't say a word.

If you don't boom for free on this one, they won't be able to shoot.

How will I be able to sleep at night with the quilt, knowing I could have helped them?

Boom Operator Needed Tomorrow (Los Angeles, CA)

We are a collection of professional crew and talent shooting a quick interrogation scene on the RED in an empty office building downtown tomorrow. Everyone, including the building owner, is involved to get footage for their reels, as well as a credit because the scene will be tied to a project on IMDb.

At the last minute both of our sound guys have had to leave town and we are now in need of a boom operator. Should be a less than 2 hours, and we would appreciate your efforts in helping us not have to scrap our shoot.

Thanks for your time. :)

What exactly goes into a building owner's reel?

Hmmm, if "both" sound guys bailed, why are they only willing to hire a single replacement?

It's funny how I'm never concerned with "more footage for my reel," but I am interested in being paid a reasonable day rate.

There is a high chance the only credit will be the production company.

There is a tiny chance the production mixer's name will be in tiny type, in an unreadably fast crawl limited to half the screen.
