In Toronto it seems like $500ish is the norm, using your own equipment. Though I am sure that there are people who will take a lot more, and people who will take a lot less.

I wrote the AVLA a couple of years ago, and they said to contact that CMRAA. I contacted the CMRAA and got a response very similar. Unfortunately, Canada is still behind when it comes to reasonable...

My advice: don't buy any equipment. If I could do it all again, I wouldn't buy a single piece of equipment outside of a computer with appropriate post production software.

I prefer to think of things in a bit more black and white. Just watch a lot of movies and make observations.

You don't see zooms in movies, so don't use zooms in your work.

The mid-week discount thing isn't reasonable for me because, like Danny said, there is still the post production time which is the bulk of the production.

This may be a little off topic, but I...

I second the extra camera to record audio option. You have to bring it into you NLE and render out to MPEG anyway, right? You're only out the time it takes to capture the tape and sync, which is...

It would never work. The only reason I got married was because it doubled my inventory of lenses and batteries :)

Absolutely awesome job. The focus is off in a few clips, but that comes with the territory and doesn't take away because everything else is so good. Two thumbs up.
