Hi folks,
Everyone always wants to know what the other guy or gal is making. Some of us are more willing to share our day rate information than others. I'm a big believer that sharing this information keeps all of us from undercutting each other and weakening the system. So on that note, here is some information that was recently posted on WIFNY. Happy holidays.
Producer for Commercials:
$1000/day - non union producer with a union crew.
Producing with non union crews sometimes pay less then $1000/day.
For very long term jobs I have gone as low as $500/day but won't go below that.
Post Producing for Commercials:
$600/day though I believe the going rate for freelance commercial post-producers is in the $700-800 range.
advertising agency in-house post-producing job for $450/day seems the going rate.
++++
AP:
Inexperienced/Low rate: $800/week.
Experienced & basically a producer with an AP title: $1400/week
Average: $1000
Producer:
Inexperienced/Low rate: $13-1400/week (although I have heard of people taking lower to get the credit)
Experienced: $2500/week (this is the highest I have seen - it was for a couple of the producers on the Carrier project, which involved a big sacrifice: living on an aircraft carrier for 6 months).
Good solid average rate: $1600 (maybe $1800 for field?)
+++
AP for Public TV non fiction:
$225-$275/day (without benefits) maybe more for someone truly wonderful or verging on full producer
Producer for non-fiction:
usually $300 - $350/day depending on skill, extra-special or producer/manager might get more, up to $400/day
Producer for NY local news-based video or talk freelance:
$300/day. Good Morning America about the same.
Producer for Reality shows:
producers may get $450-$500/day.
