Also, it sounds like your friend does more music than post work, like what I do. They are usually more of a per project basis. Plus if they are part of the musicians union, they can get session fees and usage. |
My friend is more on a project basis. Not too sure about the union part. As for them having all the overhead his partner has all of that in the NY office.

Now THAT'S a lot of cake. |
Definitely.

No one would pay that rate for audio post here, unless there were some very specific and unique criteria. Of course, composing is different and absolutely varies. I've only taken it on a whole-project basis and never by the hour. Anyway, just a little confused on specifically what you were asking. Forgive me if I missed the boat.

I'm talking about sound design/composing/ and mixing. I wasn't really asking about an hourly basis originally....I wanted to know how much for a project.
For example....since they do GMC/Chevrolet how much would you think that project would cost?
$10k - $20k???
