When you decide to "make a movie", or "a video" please know you will need the services of a makeup artist to "tie the tie" on the production. It won't look complete without makeup and hair.

If you feel as though your production isn't worth spending the "extra" money for the makeup artist, then don't seek the services of one.

We keep the continuity and integrity of your scenes. At least a professional MUA does. Its not just "light makeup", "nothing to strenuous", work we are speaking of here.

We deserve the money we should be demanding.

So, the point of the post is, if you can't see the value of the makeup artist in monetary terms, don't look for one.

Thank you

Internships give school credit.

California minimum wage is $8/hr.

We don't care about your "artistic vision".

Work without pay=SLAVERY.

We will report you to the State labor board.

You should be ashamed of yourself.

You get what you pay for,

I believe it's an insult to ask someone to work for free or for low pay. If you're hiring a professional you should paid them. for a penny payment ask your family members or friends to do the job for you.
There's no such think of credits and meals.. come on... it cost money to rent a camera so if you're going on production you have to have money for everything....
I think all low end production companies, wanna be photographers,etc should be reported to the labor board.
And you people out there don't accept low end offers.... don't believe that working for free or low pay once will get you connected to the next job because it's not going to happen.As long as there are people out there doing the work for free your next job might be in exchange for meals... got it?
Stand up and show some respect for your work!
