Victor Lazaro Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Hi all, I am offered to work as steadicam operator on an independent feature as Steadicam operator and I am not sure of how much I should ask for daily, shoot should be about a week. I don't own the stead we are going to be using, A Zephir with RED Epic. This would be my first big stead job (other than music videos). Thank you for your help.

The big question is are you any good or not? Can you even do the job? sounds like they have no money & are giving you a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Brad Grimmett Posted July 31, 2012 Premium Member Share Posted July 31, 2012 Haha! Phil, you crack me up. Victor, you should try to talk to some other steadicam operators in your area and see what they are charging so you can have some base of knowledge. Ideally, you'd know rates based on experience, but since you don't you should try to gather as much information as you can about the project and the going rates in your area before agreeing to anything. Check out the Steadicam forum and try to find some helpful info there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Thompson Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I would say as you don't have a clue, £75 quid for your time. As they will have to rent the rig out, i think thats fair enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Phil Rhodes Posted August 1, 2012 Premium Member Share Posted August 1, 2012 That would be fairly normal for a starting-out in the UK. I've used to make more than that doing steadicam, but not very often! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
