That's $1350 my friend, and I'm shooting/directing. If you aren't, add $250 or so more. Oh yea...lube, baby wipes, and don't foget copies for model releases and ID's!!

this is pretty much bang on. but talent costs are going up, we're getting more girls/pimps asking $900 and $1000 for b/g, and add $100 to that for the agent fee. For some reason it's the smaller talent guys who are asking this, the big agencies are still at $800 but these guys who pop up out of nowhere want more.
A good male performer is going to cost $300-400. Male talent prices are going up too.
Then there's all the time chewed up trying to book the girl and negotiate, phonecalls, emails, and the flakes - a flaked shoot is often unrecoverable, it's a lost day and $$$ you'll never get back.
This girl cost us a grand to shoot for somebody
A location rental is $300-500 a day if that's what somebody wants.
My guy Brian has spent $8,000 on camera equipment since January 1, I told him that's his problem not mine and that he spends too much on that shit but he says I wouldn't know ..... hehe.....i do know .... he spends too much on camera stuff.
Brian shoots pretty much solo girl, not much b/g.
He just sent me this a few days cuz he likes me to feel sorry for him. For the first quarter of 2004, Jan-May, here are the model/agent fees he paid - $42,736.00
My other guy Marco shoots alot of boy/girl video so his model/agent fees for the same period would be much more than that.
It's an expensive proposition. So please spare me the offers of $1,000 for an exclusive b/g movie.
