Here we go...
I think you may have covered this but I need to ask.
I was recently pitching an Idea to someone about a personal project. He liked what he saw and asked me to make him a demo for his company, something that he wants to make about 2 to 5 minutes to send his clients.
from there he is interested in cutting a 30/40 second commercial to air.
I'm creating a budget and writing a script for this. Generally speaking I was told to have him deposit my "cost" into an account so I can start to work. for the most part it will be a 2 camera shoot/light,grip truck, sound, and actors.
First question is what is included, considered my "cost"?
I will be producing, directing, and stunt coordinating. the only thing I really know is Stunt Coordinating. I think I can handle the rest, being its a smaller project.
I just want it to look top notch, I will bring the right people to do there part but I need to get paid before I start some of the more detailed legwork.
What, if any standard, percentage wise, do I ask for from this owner to get the project started? Maybe there isn't a Standard? I'm going of off common sense for the most part and covering my butt.
As a SAG Stunt player I'm used to walking on set doing the gig and walking off. I'm nervous but excited to do this and do it all. there is no deadline as of yet and the shoot will be very exciting to do.
I am learning all about pulling permits budgeting and preproduction and am loving the education I do however want to do it right.
I hope this question makes sense.
Humbly yours
