And the numbers work like this:
My costs per 4 to 6 clips:
2 models to do the "dirty" ( no medical needed since it is all simulated) 200 USD each.
1 assist (or do some solo) about 100 USD
Location 200
5 crew 100 each = 500
Equipment ( lights and semi pro cameras ) 300
Food and lodgings, supplies etc.... 200
Post, we own it so its just in house time ....
Total for 4 to 6 clips about 1600 plus post edit.... I shoot in Canada and will pay 2 to 3000 dollars USD, that is why I am saying Asia, further to the East Europe ( Ukraine would work) or South America...
That is it. This will never work in USA , Canada or most of Europe
Unless somebody wants to work on 400 to 1000 dollar margin. Guess what, I would not for all that "brain damage"....
.... Where is the guy for Chile who sent me a PM ??? Probably went into coke business... Or the Russian cheat ?? When you need them.
