    My favourite jobs are as an owner operator, so satisfying handing over the footage at the end and being done with it. Definitely want to do this more next year instead of doing my own projects

    I'm seeing this more and more lately actually. One of my friends was doing this up in Hollywood back in 2016 after he got the EOS C300 Mark II. Last year he had largely retired from film last year. He owned his equipment and cameras outright. Then he sold me all of his equipment and cameras. I find myself doing some of the same these days on the side, but also networking with others with similar equipment and to similar ends. I've had similar talks with my boss about all of his equipment as well, but he has no time to be on location and some of his gear is starting to age out. Times are changing.

    in my country they don't pay by the hour, they don't care about the equipment as long as you deliver 4k, they pay for creative talent, creativity costs a lot of money. Here a director can charge a lot of money for directing a commercial, it depends on his proven experience, maybe you should do the same in austria. by the way i subscribed to your channel today, i didn't know about you, i found you linked to a movie trailer. Cheers!

    I gotta start making videos where you live because in America I’ve never had a client NOT ask for a full breakdown of the cost. “I have to pay an equipment fee? But I’m paying YOU and you already own the equipment!”

      @@RICH_Photographywow generally while sometimes asked for an all in price, and I’ll often itemize, here in Canada it’s a highly expected. I think the biggest issue is we do get the stupid own/op requests that expect you not to charge for the given camera/lens package.

    not sure if i missed the mention in the video, but when you "rent" out your gear for shoots. Do you charge a flat percentage of the value (for example 3-5% of the value of the equipment per day) or you just decide how much it's worth

    Honestly came here to react to the low rental rate of only 3-5% while usually here in Canada I’d expect to charge 5-10% of replacement cost. Not to mention €3 for a c-stand?! We charge usually at least $20-25 CAD for a c-stand and arm. Hell even a sand-bag or AC is usually about $5 CAD (about the €3 you charge for a c-stand).

    • @damiencooper
      @damiencooper  7 місяців тому

      Oh wow. That’s a lot. Like I said, I based my prices off other rental houses and I’ve never seen a cstand for more than 5 bucks
