Thanks, I will definitely look into it.

Yes, my apologies I'm asking about UBCP/ACTRA. Thanks for the clarification. I only read the FAQ :blush:. Right now my only issue is that I would like to be able to do whatever I want with the footage. This is meant to be an "episode 1" for an online series. If people ended up liking the...

Ok thank you, I am considering it now. I'm investing around $20, 000 into this and can only afford to do the film shoot once so I do need the best talent I can get.

Does signing up for union give them any rights over my film? I want to be able to do as I want with the footage. The main benefit is to get talented actors right? I'm in Canada right now, and they have an Indie program for productions less than $20, 000. It says: FAQ 13: We’ve made some...

It appears they want me to agree to a bunch of non-sense, low tier actor it is.

I am going to be filming a project that I had to cancel three years ago due to funding issues. I auditioned an actor three years ago from craigslist who had very good acting for the part. I contacted him again last week, and he told me he's a union actor now and can't work with non-union. I...

Ok thank you!

If you have success making a film series, or any kind of online series, etc, and you have a main actor, should he receive royalties other than his pay for the filming? Or should director/creator keep 100% of any earnings made from the work and continue to pay the actor an agreed amount?

awesome, great info. a headset mic would be kinda cool, i'm going to look into that. Thanks!

I'm filming a video in a park parking lot, and there's a busy street about 30-50 feet away from where we're filming. There's also loud trucks passing by at times. Our back's would mostly be facing the traffic, so what would be the best microphone to use in this situation? A shotgun mic...

Hmm.. that enthralls me, good sir. I will look into this, thank you sir!

I contacted a stunt coordinator and he gave me this for rates: Rates/breakdown are as follows. My rate: 1800/12 hour min per day Rigging Coordinator: 929.25/8 hour Rigger: 714.61/8 hour Performer: 714.61/8 hour So does that mean it should cost around $4000 for 1 day? Btw, I don't have film...

lol that would be pretty good. The only thing is I will need it at a specific spot.

lol thanks, It's nice to have a reference, damn I wish I could get that shot.

Hey that's a good idea! Thanks Indie Talk, you're the best!
