salaries
Fri, 25 Nov 2005, 06:51 amhello.
could somebody give me an idea, what salary/fee is a set designer, producer, director paid for a show. Are there any fixed fees?
thanks in advance

Thu, 1 Dec 2005, 09:45 amIn my experience it depends totally on the size and budget of the production, and the level of time and cimmitment needed on the gig, and is better explained as a "Fee" than a "Salary", unless they are retaining you exclusively over a period of time.
Tech and Creative fees (of which i do both) are slightly different and should be negotiated with the company/director before any work goes ahead. Prices can obviously range from $50 to somewhere around $10,000 (even more for public artworks).
Not particularly helpful i know, but as long as you value your contribution to the project, so will others. Golden rule is to make sure that when you work it out by $/per hour, that you are making more than your favourite barista. Also, the more experience and good shows you have to your credit, the more you can charge. But be careful, you don't want to scare off particularly good projects if they can't afford you. Quote high, but be flexible.
