I’ve noticed pay rates in the art department vary wildly depending on who’s producing the film. For anyone else in production design, do you feel rates are standardized enough, or is it still a ‘who you know’ situation?

Definitely all about who you know, your experience, and your willingness to advocate for yourself. I think a lot of people make more money because they simply ask for it.

Yes I’ve noticed this too! Always struggle to advocate for myself!

if a producer is offering good rates off the bat on a non-union I think theyre starting close to what they want to stay at and are prob being fair to all depts. if they offer very low rates and its not an ulb scale then theres usually room to negotiate. if they want to stay at a low day rate try to ask for more prep days. but theres always room to negotiate!

or a kit fee or something

Hey Bowl,
I work for a late stage(ipo) start up, earlier this year we were acquired & since then they got rid of our yearly bonuses and gave us an ESOP grant.
2 RIFs later we are almost bare bones. Since we are coming up on our usual yearly evaluations many of us assumed (with multiple conversation from our managers) that pay raises and promotions were due.
In a recent All hands we found out that this year there will be no pay raises nor promotions based off merit. Is it time to jump ship?
