Is this still the going rate ? Or did it went up or down ? This is a part of my survey before I reveal my plan. More as it develops.
The costs of locations rises and falls depending on the location. 30 years ago $1,000 a day for a location would get you a villa, manor style location. Too much for one shooter because of ROI. For three it was affordable.We used to go on one, two or three trips a year to villas in Spain, Portugal, Canary Islands, etc.

I know shooters who did make it pay, shooting for Playboy style productions.
