On screen talent cost?

[Macville]

Okay, so I'm quoting a client on a project and they need talent included with the quote. This is the first time I've had to quote something like that, so I am wondering about what talent costs run? The video is to advertise to retailers for a new shopping center. It won't be seen by a ton of people and will be useless after they get the shopping center finished. I was thinking about $300-$500 for a 10 hour day?

Is SAG involved???? That rate seems kinda high. Here in LA you'd have a line a block long if you paid nothing and several blocks long if you paid 100 per day.

I'd call around to your local talent agency and see what they run so you can give them a quote you trust. Alot of it will depend on who your talent is in addition to the scope of the release. http://www.18karat.com/ dont know anything about them but they're in your area and have a web page.
