Skeleton Crew | Day Rates

A “skeleton crew” is a minimal film crew, usually consisting of a handful of people. This is often employed for small-budget TV commercials, indie films, and corporate/medical videos.

Village Crew

A full-blown video village, suitable for larger, more ambitious projects, is tailor-made to your particular project. These crews can reach up to 30 people or more. As a rule of thumb, I’d be prepared with at least $20,000.

Standard billing procedure is that 50% of estimated crew costs are paid up front, with the remaining balance invoiced immediately after filming wraps.
