Vancouver Videographer Rates

Recently, there was a posting on vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/tfr/ that I thought was an awesome pay scale that we should all follow.

Producer: $600-$1000 a day
Director: $500-$1000 a day
DOP: $400-$600 a day
Editor: $350-$500 a day
Gaffers/Grips: $350-$500 a day
Sound: $350-$500 a day
Writers: Good ones name their price. A ten minute corporate video script :$1500-$2500 half on commencement

I do concede that http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/tfr/ should be a forum where up and coming videographers can find low paying, introductory jobs. It should also be a forum where new Producers can find cheap, eager workers.

The point of this blog is to value our work, and kick out the wankers who think "It will look good on your resume"

Pay me or GTFO!
