Now that one is even more ridiculous! Or can I say, ridiculouser? Walking away from that one is the best thing you could have done. Working for free to get experience is one thing but noone should ever have to spend their own money or use their own stuff for a project, especially for people you don't even know.

There is a local movie theater, a real old one. They have plays and people voluteer. All the money is going to restore the building. That is a good reason to work for free.
I won't even do wedding photography for relatives or friends for free. I might give them a lower price, but I've got to much invested in equipment. and my time is worth something. If they want free I'd show up with my wifes pocket size coolpix!! |

Looking for someone to take pride in their work!
They want someone to edit for hours and then author a DVD for that pay. Aaand, by the way, that person must take pride in their work!
Experienced Video Editors Needed for editing weddings. Must be capable of completing with chapters, menus, and titling. We are looking for people who take pride in their work. Please email any sample or your work if available. Xxxxxxxx Films Compensation: $150 per wedding |
Now how's this for the ultimate audacity! 2 camera people with XL1, you bring stock, lights and wireless mics. Two 11 hour days and only $250 total! The stock alone can cost $150 or so. He posted this ad a few days ago at $300 no less and DROPPED the price with this post! So you come in with $10G plus of gear and get under $5.70/hr per person BEFORE tape expense! I'd say this guy's a real slime BUT he's been posting these ads for months and HE GETS FOOLS TO DO THIS! I can't even imagine a newbie doing that much work with that much gear for so little money.
I sent him an email for $1600 for two days. That would be under $37/hr per person before expenses. Even that's on the low side for corporate work IMHO. Two Cameraman Needed $250.00This Sat/Sun Only 2 videographers/camera men needed to videotape 2 day event This Sat and Sunday October 29, 30. Must have XL 1, bring stock, dv camera with broadcast quality and bring lighting. We are shooting in dark room, Must have experience shooting seminars. Needed immediately! Last Minute changes..Call James at 718-341-2327. Event address is: 144-02 135th street, Jamaica in JFK Holiday Inn. Event is from 8am-7:00pm. Must have your own transportation. You need to bring 1 lav mic and one wire less mic. FREE Breakfast and Lunch this is in or around Jamaica, Queens no -- it's NOT ok to contact this poster with services or other commercial interests Compensation: $250.00 |
Surely these kinds of employers couldn't care much about the product because I can't imagine someone that knows what they are doing working under those terms. I bet that free breakfast is a boiled egg and a little paper cup of immitation orange juice. I can't imagine what the lunch is.

I emailed them some samples and wrote, "I assume it was a typo and you meant $1500"
