I just read an article regarding the background of how Hallmark movies are shot. From what I read, they use non-union camera people and pay them $600 a day when the current union rate is $800. It also mentioned because everything is done on the cheap, they work people to death on long days just to get to the next project. I have actually been shooting for close to 40 years and considering contacting them for freelance work but after reading this, it may not be worth it. Any thoughts... Bob
