Lighting Cameraman
How much do I charge ?
It's nice to be transparent when it comes to daily rates.
As with many other camera owner/operators, my fees
are variable and negotiable depending on the length and complexity of each individual project.
However - it is nice to have something in 'black & white' to allow for budgets & planning.
So the fees outlined below are standard rates for an 8hr
day, (inc weekends).
(with overtime and travel days highlighted below).
'Operator only hire' or daily FCPX Editing: £400 p/d
Daily Rate (inc. camera, lighting & sound): £650 p/d
A few more considerations:
-
8hr daily rates include travel time to location.
-
Travel days around 1/3 day rate.
-
Taxis/Tolls/Parking charged at cost.
-
Meals & Overnights charged at cost.
-
Travel charged at 50p per mile.
-
Longer hrs & buyout rates negotiable
-
Shorter daily hrs also negotiable
-
Overtime charged: 1/8th day rate (p/hour)
-
Dry hire rate usually excludes any equipment.
-
Rate reductions for bona-fide student or educational/charity productions.
