Huh? If you come under budget on a job you save the client money and get a pat on the back. You DON’T get a piece of the savings. WTF?
Yea on the production side 😬
Yes you should structure it as a percentage of the savings on a job, usually paid out as a bonus once the project wraps.
I believe you are talking from the production side. This doesn’t happen on the agency side. A lot of production companies have underage deals with their directors. Not producers. But I do agree with president 1, that is might sacrifice the job. That being said I work on both sides and if a job came in really under I have gotten a bonus before. But it’s never something I’ve worked out ahead of time.
That would just lead to producers cutting corners, quality and safety to come under and earn themselves more money. Not good.
I’ve worked at production houses where
Producers made bonus on percentage of profit over standard 20%. So those types of plans exist. I agree that it can lead to decisions maybe being made not in best interest of the job. I didn’t see that happen but the danger is there.
