What a shoot day costs, line by line
Three people, two cameras, one van. Where the $2,900 goes.
A shoot day with us is $2,900. People ask where it goes, so here it is.
People
A director, a director of photography and someone on sound. Ten hours each including the drive, and a half day of preparation for the director. That is a little over two thirds of the price.
Kit and everything else
Two cameras, lenses, lights, sound and insurance make up most of the rest. What is left pays for the shot list, the call sheet and the drive we hand you at the end with every file on it.
