Wandering Ear Posted April 7, 2021 Report Posted April 7, 2021 Is there a contract rate for Music Playback operators? I didn't see the position specifically listed in the ASA, so mostly wondering where they usually fall. Also, if a sound utility operates playback for a scene, would that re-rate them for the day, assuming the playback rate is higher? Quote

Under the ASA most playback Operators fall under the VTR category even though they aren’t the same thing. I usually try to get the same rate as the mixer although sometimes it’s just a little less. A utility should re rate to playback if that’s what they are doing however, you should hire a person specifically for that job. If your utility does it then you should get a different utility for that day, IMHO. Quote
Wandering Ear Posted April 8, 2021 Author Report Posted April 8, 2021 Thanks for the info Ryan. I'm not sure hiring additional personnel makes sense for just a single scene in a day. Do you remember when re-rating kicks in? Is it after 2 hours? Quote
