Looking for filmer in Whistler..

thats over 10 bucks and hour, to do two things that the kid loves. film and ski.

Im intrigued to know why he would not want to do this.
 
Wanna know what I can make freelancing, by just shooting an hour or two's worth of footage and editing it together relatively well? 350-500 bucks, depending on who is hiring you. 10 dollars an hour is chump change to a videographer, I can make that at McDonald's if I wanted to. Besides, Zac has better things to be doing and better skiers to be shooting rather than paid work of people he doesn't know.
 
just out of intrest .. what would you charge for a days shooting and then putting together an edit ?
 
No, hes right.

50$ for 4-5 hours of work is not worth any videographers time.

I have school so 2-4 days out of my week I have off depending on the weather, I could be shooting other people.
 
for a 14 year old kid, I would say 10 bucks an hour is a good gig. If he is making 300-500 for a shoot. Im sure the Canadian tax department to love to catch up this him.

 
minimum wage in BC is $10 an hour...

why would he settle for that when he can be making way more money filming legit freelance and projects.
 
Minimum wage in British Columbia is $9:50

and for the experience.

That said, I'm not going to discuss this further.

End threads./
 
Yeah, I usually charge $100 for a one hour photo shoot. $50 for the shoot, and then $25 for each of two hours of editing. And thats pretty cheap for my town. $50 a day isn't worth it to anyone for the amount of effort it takes to produce quality work.
 
Have you fucking seen the way the kid films? He's AMAZING. Like better than the majority of the 20-25 year olds out there doing the same thing. I would NOT under any circumstances lowball myself, especially with that talent, just because some random person wants to be filmed. I don't think you get it, by lowballing the price of his work, you undermine the film industry by making everyone lower the prices because one guy is doing it. You pay what it's worth, and no less.
 
I normally do this for free, so 50 dollars a day I would be stoked with. I film skiing, not for money but for the challenge and fun of it. I would take 50 dollars to ski anyday. I only make 8 dollars an hour working at a specialized ammunition shop in Colorado. So yeah it would be well worth it.
 
this guy is a great filmer i have never shot with him but have a couple friends that have and every edit ive ever seen of his has been completely prime and ya its gonna be expensive think about it hes gonna be filming you for like 6 hours get home and have to edit probably for another 4+ hours hes putting in good time and work to make u an edit so if u dont wanna pay get ur friend to make u some shitty edit made on a gopro
 
I'm talking portraits, like getting hired by clients. If my buddy wants shots or there's a local comp I'm happy to shoot for free, but not for some random kid. Also in fairness to zmox, as soon as you do $50 a day for one kid the next kid isn't gonna wanna pay more, and he is way to talented to film some random kid, he has better things to do like film pros for actual companies / media groups.
 
this. 50 for a full day of filming is a steal

I could make $50 for an hour of filming a piano performance (locked off tripod shot) on saturday. Turned it down #ratherwatchthebruins
 
Wait, what? I know snowboard videographers (Snowboarding industry has way more money than the ski industry) that get paid $10,000-15,000 (give or take) for a full winter's commitment to a film company. We're talking 20+ day a month in the backcountry for 4-6 months plus travel costs covered. At a rate of 500$ a day they'd blow through that in a month. This does not include their truck/sled gas and oil or parts. That they pay on their own. Some get a per diem rate, but I know it is definitely not $500. Some get paid on a per shot basis and not even a per diem rate. Maybe if you're shooting/come with $70-100,000 of very specific high end video gear then maybe it might be $500 if you come in hand with a Red Epic or Phantom.
 
I can't believe peple think Zacs time is only worth 10 dollars an hour haha.. I wouldn't play pool with you for 10 dollars an hour.
 
You're talking about someone who gets paid by the year, not a freelancer who gets paid by the day. Sorry bud, you're wrong. ou also might want to tell your buddy to get a new job, hes getting completely fucked over if hes only making 10-15k a year for that much shit. This statement is exactly why I wont be pursuing a career in the snow industries, filmers get paid shit.
 
They still get to film, be outdoors, and ski several times a week. In my opinion 10 to 15k a winter would be plenty with those benefits.
 
ya but he said he has to pay for the operating costs of a sled for 4-6 months, 20 + days. and 10 000 is not really alot to make a living, especially living in a ski town
