Uh - why don't you start by telling us where you are, or even better -
your gear = what?

Be nice to know what one gets for 7K/mth. The gear's free and the operator works for less than loader? Hmmmm, not sure this "deal" is worth the time to email you to discover the details.....
 
well first you need to wire the money to Nigeria......
 
Ha, it's funny to watch everyone freak out when the deal sounds too good to be true.

It's sad to watch poor marketing not addressing the basic premise of a good deal which is "What's the damn catch?"

Doesn't everyone know at this point that everyone always wants to have the answer to the magic question of "WHY?"
 
r u available to work for a rental house? where are u located?
 
By the month.. Lol.

Okay, I am going to hire your ass and make you hike the John Muir trail, shooting 4K all the way, on a Steadicam. Think you can finish it in 1 month? If so, you're hired!

I mean, after all, your company's name is "ready to go." :)
 
Well, someone must have hired him, hasnt come back for a reply :bleh:
 
I wouldn't be too fast to make fun of this. I think the catch is that he chooses what he wants to get involved with. It sounds like for the right kind of project this is something feasible. Let's say an independent low-budget movie desperately wants a Red but can't really afford it. And the original poster wants experience and has a Red just sitting around. I see nothing wrong with this arrangement. I'm sure he is not going to insist on being the DP of the project. I would totally do this.
 
I didn't mean to make fun, just very puzzled as to his business plan. Our industry for the most part, is based on daily labor rates and weekly rental rates. If the jobs go over a month then you negotiate for that at the time. Don't you think to only offer a monthly rate is just kind of limiting your options?
 
I don't think this is about a having a business plan or justifying the work-income-to-hour ratio. Remember, the film industry is a strange world and people tend to do even stranger things to get a foot in the door or even sometimes just to expand on one's routine. Famous actors and DP's have worked for free on certain projects. Would you call them nuts? No. It all depends on the project and the circumstances. Maybe the original poster figured out the minimum amount of money that he would need to get by in a month and decided to make a one-time offer to get involved in something exciting to jump-start his or her career or to expand his network of contacts.

Take David Mullen for example. You all might ask what kind of crazy business plan is he following by posting here for free? Is he saying his time isn't worth anything? Well, of course you wouldn't ask that because it's not always about just making money. We all know he is an awesome guy who is giving back to the community and at the same time he gets a chance to stay sharp on all kinds of topics just by the sheer variety of questions he gets on these forums. Maybe the original poster also has something honest and mutually beneficial in mind. Why not give him or her the chance?
