Available for work and willing to travel as the MUA or HMUA
I'm budgeting my second micro budget feature and want to include those essential crew spots, that I learned the hard way, are always needed. So what are the ballpark rates for 1st AD, MAKE-UP AND HAIR ARTISTS, WARDROBE, SET / PRODUCTION DESIGN? Thanks in advance.
As a makeup artist the rates can start as low as $250/day to a few thousand per day--depending on the budget, number of people makeup is needed, if there's a need for makeup effects. Also you need to...
Expand commentAs a makeup artist the rates can start as low as $250/day to a few thousand per day--depending on the budget, number of people makeup is needed, if there's a need for makeup effects. Also you need to put aside funds for the MUA's kit fee (which is the same as a rental fee). These are normally to different prices. I hope this helps.
Thanks Ken and Keisha for the helpful info.
No problem Don! I was glad to help and if needed as a makeup artist let me know.
Please be one of the first to help me with my goal... http://www.gofundme.com/argy0w
How much does it cost to hire a non-union skeleton film crew in California for a week? I want to do a reality web series and I'm trying to come up with a budget for it.

Expand comment(Note: the following information is assuming you are shooting a very simple script in terms of what the action is what resources you'll require AND that you have PLENTY of time to shoot it.) If you want to be as small as possible but still maintain some level of quality you need: 1)Producer/Director/AD/DP/PD/Cam Op/AC/Grip/Gaffer/Editor/Craft (Yes, one person can do all these things. They need to be incredibly talented and focused. It will take a ton of work, but it IS possible.) 2)Boom Op/Mixer/Post Sound. 3-?)Whatever talent you need. That's it. 2 man crew. And yes, regardless of all the no way, not possible etc comments to come. It is doable, and you can create a quality picture with it. How do I know? A colleague of mine did a film with exactly that. Only 2 crew, and 4 talent. That film played in Canne Film Festival. NOW: You better not have any focus pulls. You don't have an AC. You better be stylized or simple. I'm talking 3 point lighting set ups, outdoor natural lighting, etc. Script better be short and sweet and survive on the amazing people you cast. And again...those 2 people...better be hella talented. In most reality. You need a minimum: 1)Producer/Director/AD/Dp/Cam Op/Craft. 2)AC. 3)Grip/Electric. 4)Boom/Mixer. 5)Art Dept. 6)General Post. 7)PA. 8-?) Talent. As for how much it'll cost...inbox me if you'd like and we'll have info. General opinion on opinions on rates shouldn't be in the public forum.
