Start
off by offering NO PAY... and requiring that the potential slave have
thousands of dollars of Camera, Audio, Lighting or Makeup Kit as a
requirement of the job.
(Remember,
those of us that use this equipment probably paid a pretty penny to
acquire it... I know I paid out quite bit for my Camera Gear... so
consider that when you look for free rentals)
Try
asking a Camera Rental House for free gear...
If
you pay, offer an insultingly low amount, like ANYTHING below Minimum
Wage for a 12 hour day... (which is currently $64/8 Hours, $88/10
Hours, $112 for 12 Hours in most of California)
offer
IMDB credits and food as the only pay, as if you have some magical
ability to grant IMDB credits that no one else has...
(I
can create a bogus IMDB page that will get me an interview with
Martin Scorsese in mere minutes... so, IMDB means nothing)
Use
the following keywords (all as reasons to accept low or no pay)
"Great
Crew"
"Fun
Production"
"Labor
of Love"
"Pro
Crew, all donating their time."
"Award
Winning Director, In Between Projects"
"A-List
Talent all working for free"
"No
Pay on this one, but future jobs will have pay." (Assuming you
really DO have a next job)
(none
of these will pay the rent, or Auto Insurance, real money, will)
Sound
like a total Douchebag, and require a headshot for a below the line
crew position that will never appear on camera...
(that
screams "I only want to hire hot females" that I can hit on
while they are working for me, for free...)
THAT,
is how you get flagged... in case you haven't already figured that
out...
