PCR DNA Shoots
Posted: Wed May 26, 2004 10:17 pm
Ok, someone explain this to me...just got offered a shoot requiring PCR DNA test etc...cost of tests ?250. Rate of pay for the job ?150.
Means I have to work for free for at least 2 shoots a month just to break even so why bother? I hear all this stuff about not being able to pay the guys more because of budgets...ok so when the guys at the top won't accept ?150 for a shoot and the rest often cant be sure of being able to get enough work each month to justify taking the risk of paying out that sort of money, where are the guys going to come from to do the shoots here? And where are the generation of new male talent going to come from? Perhaps it would be a good idea to start budgetting for the guys to get the same money as the girls if we want to avoid black market style shoots done on the older style certificate basis.
