I've been putting a call out for a DP for a short film that I'm in pre-production on. For a indie short film, what is the going rate for a DP with his own crew and equipment? -16mm camera lighting, gaffer, etc. I want to shot this film in Super 16mm. Also, does anyone know the going rate...

I'm about to place a post on a film forum, here in Seattle, for a Composer/Musician. In doing so, I want to if any of you made a contract agreement with the composer you've used, and, if you know where there is a simple sample of such contract. Even if it's a friend, I feel it's better to seal...

Quick Note: I'm all about what can be done. I'm a strong believer in that, regardless of the perceived obstacles. Also M1chae1, I'd check out your homepage, and may I say -WOW- :-) What did you do to secure/legalize/license your production name. Was it a task in doing so, and did you seek...

Alcove Audio, yes, the sound mixer is also very essential during pre-production. In this case, my film will be a music overlay, over the actors performances. There may be places where music isn't played but only the ambient sound of the location they may be in. If you've seen the finale of...

I'm in the pre-production stage right now -- bringing it all together -- and am writing/directing and producing (with another person) a short that I intend to get to the festivals. Question (s) I have: How much could the base salary be for hiring an Assisstant Director. Because, once I...

Glad I came across this site, but it's my wanting answers (in filmmaking) that lead me here. I look forward to learning a lot from you all. Terry
