Ever Wonder Why Your Crew Ad Gets Flagged

Date: 2010-07-12, 8:27PM PDT

The reason why most ads are getting flagged is that when you post a no pay gig for a DP, Camera Op, Grip, Sound Mixer, and especially a Boom Op, you are devaluing the work that these people love to do and their perceived worth, especially when you are asking for someone who has their own gear to work for free.

Even a skilled boom op has the right to get paid a decent day rate and if you think it's ok bring someone on with zero experience to hold a boom is ok, well then, you get what you deserve.

Oh yeah, there are plenty of lame-o's who will flag and ad so that when they submit for it they have a better chance of getting call back, hmmm....what's worse?

Not a hater, just a player.
