Hey everyone!
I am looking to assemble a Scarlet package that will look very attractive to people making feature films. I got into this business because I just love making movies, and after buying the Scarlet, I really want to be a part of making great films, wherever they may be.
Here is a list of equipment I have.
RED Scarlet Canon AL Mount
1x RED 5" Touch LCD
1x RED Handle
3x 64GB Redmag SSD
2x Anton Bauer D-90 batteries, w/ charger
4x Redvolt Batteries, w/ charger
1x RED Station USB 3.0
1x Redrock Follow Focus
1x RED top plate
1x WC LW 15mm Rod system
1x Miller DS-25 Tripod
Lenses
Canon 24-70mm L
Canon 70-200mm L
Canon 100mm Macro L
Tokina 11-16mm
My services would also be a part of the package. Because my goal is to make films, I would like to serve in any capacity, whether it be DIT, 2nd, 1st, or DP. So I was wondering you opinions on how to price this package.
When pricing, should I have just one price, which would include the package and my services, or should I have a rental price, and mention the cost of travel, room & board. I guess in another words, I'm renting out my package, and it comes with free service (but would need to cover travel expenses).
Also, would it be a good idea to have some sort of commission for people that help me complete a booking?
Some of you might be wondering why so aggressive? Well, my scarlet's been collecting dust for some time, and I've been really thinking about why I bought it in the first place. For me, this whole thing isn't about making money. It's all about making movies.
If I could afford to do it for free, I would, but I ended up spending my life's saving on everything, and only sustaining myself with a small job on the side, which barely makes enough to get by. What I really want is to meet some awesome filmmakers and make great movies together.
So if there is any advice on how to price this package and get connected with filmmakers making films, I would be incredibly grateful.
Happy filming!
