buisness side of a music video
A semi-known band has apporoached me to do a video for them. They are on an independent label and say the label has no money to give for the video (which I beleive). I asked to get my production costs covered and 1.5% of dvd sales. Is there a standard rate that people ask for when they work for free? The project is really interesting and a very huge director has worked with this group in the past so the videos will get noticed. On the other hand I am a student and never really get opportunities so I don't know if should do it at the risk of being screwed. What would you do?
