Minnesota Crew Rates

[awelgraven]

I'm looking to put together a possible budget, and I'm wondering if there's a way to find out rates for various crew peoples (DP, AC, AD, Boom Op, Art Director, and so on). Are there any Minnesota-based resources or Unions that would have minimum rates for crew and/or actors?

I don't know about Minnesota but the rates in maryland may give you an Idea. And I don't know if they are high or low.

AD-$250-$300 per day
DP-$250-$450
Lighting Tech-$275-#375
boom and sound-$200-$350
Grip-$250 per day

Again these are the prices here for people who actually know what they are doing.

The rates Richard gave you are a bit on the bottom side for working professionals here in mini. Then again it depends on how hungry people are.

I think your rates more for the low-low end

This what I pay my people in Maryland that know what they are doing:

AD-$700-$1000 per day
DP-$1200-$1600 per day (no gear)
Cameraman- $700 per day (no gear)
1st AC- $600 per day
Lighting Tech (Key Grip)-$550-$700 per day (no gear)
boom and sound-$500-$700 per day (with gear)
Grip-$350 per day

Hope this helps.
