Paying your talent..
 

Anybody here pay their talent with cash? I'm about to pick up filming content but I don't see some girl who has never done anything in the industry taking a check. I'm thinking it will be easier if I just pull the cash out of my pocket so I can convince her. What should I do to better protect myself from being cheated though (so she doesn't say I paid her a bill less or I never paid her at all)? I was thinking of photographing her with the cash and getting her to sign a statement/receipt saying she got her cashed and it's all there. Any other ideas?

Side note.. anyone want to link me to a fucking fantastic/expensive camera? Doesn't matter the cost long as it's top notch :thumbsup

have her sign a recipt?

Leagly, receipt is more than enough. Just make sure she sign it.

Yeah, get a reciept book. I started out a long time ago by paying cash, but switched to paying by check years ago. I honestly haven't had any girls even think twice about a check. It shows you're a real business to hand a check to them.

If you're looking for a great video camera then you've got to go for the Sony VX2100 . That's the best price I found for it. They even have free shipping.

First of all, you do not want these bitches knowing your have piles of cash laying around. Many of these girls date the biggest lowlifes they can find and I would not want these guys getting any ideas about where to find an easy "score" the next time they need some money for heroin.

Secondly, for accounting purposes you should use a check.

I have paid in cash a few times but just drove the girl to an ATM after the shoot and pulled the exact amount of money out and gave it to her.

It's extremely rare that we'll pay our talent in cash, check leaves a nice and neat paper trail.

Go for the check it's the best way to make sure that everything is taken care of neatly...

Good points..... ATM is a MUST. Even now that I pay by check I always drop a hint, about how crazy the internet business is.... That I never see an actual dollar bill anymore.... It's just numbers that go from one account to another.

Thanks for the info guys I guess I'll stick to the john handcock

get your self a canon GL2 really great quality even if your a novice.
