"We pay you a starting rate of $80 a day to rent both you and your full kit." BTW, the local rate for a 3chip pro camera is about $200/d through a rental house.

George, chill. . .10 dollars is their MINIMUM. So you just tell them you want $125 an hour, or whatever. See? It's fine.

This person must be looking for a Siamese twin since he needs a one man team. LMAO!!

You also need attenuators. That LAVA lear mike is probably real hot.

No offense, but I've done stuff like that as a one man band. It sucks, to be sure, but I've done it and been paid well for it. Ok, fine, I didn't actually interview her, but I set up a lav on her, and she read off a teleprompter attached to the cam. I still had to light her, though. Anyway, that's how some production companies work. Even real, legit ones. They just don't wanna splurge for that extra guy.

Oh. My bad. I take it all back.

I don't see a problem with that, it's just a one on one interview. How many people do you need to do this?

He's saying the grammar amused him, not the ad it self. One man TEAM, you see. Not one man band. It got me too. Oh, and he liked "Lava lear," or whatever.

It's no worse than the "Army of one" campaign the Army is using. Of course, I was an Army of one, and they called me an individual. I thought it was a good thing, but that isn't the way they made it sound. They implied it was a bad thing.

Anyways, I don't really see anything wrong with the term one man team, or one man crew, etc. If I was a woman, maybe...

. . .and the next flame war begins. . .

What flame war? I ain't flaming nobody... really!

Straighten up Josh or we will put that Lava mic on your skin ;)
