We are getting close to year-end, especially bigger companies needs to handle their tax-writeoffs, employees go on vacation, likely there is more than just 1-2 companies that need to revise their structures etc etc etc
Whatever the reason is congrats to the winners and good to see things are being worked out  |
i would say stop speculating
this business usually works very easily: shooter sends models, client approves, client says what he wants, shooter shoots and pays model, props, location, makeup etc.
then shooter sends content, client checks, client pays. done.
there are NO reasons not to pay immediately as long as content was shot according to the specifications. because the shooter has already paid everything he needed to pay in advance and needs the money back. plus he needs money to live and to be able to do the next shoots.
