There is but we weren’t on it. They also have location scouts roam the streets, at least that’s how our house was located.
go higherRhythmdoctor said:Director and 10 others showed up today for another walk through. Afterwards, the producer lady seemed optimistic. Said they'd be back Thursday with camera crew? My thought was to see angles, lighting etc... But then my wife got a text about an hour ago from the producer saying they'd like to move forward with the filming and asked where to send the agreement.
Pretty exciting stuff! Now it's just about getting the agreement and if the money is right, we say YES! I'm thinking $2k is my number (per day). My best friend is a producer for a well known reality TV show and while there is no connection between the two, he at least is in the biz. He thought $2k was very reasonable, although he admitted he doesn't really know anything. So whatever that's worth, LOL, it makes me feel good about my $2k number.
I guess y'all will be seeing my home on tv soon
also, have daily time frames cleary denoted. it's not a 24 hour clock. start at 7am, hard end at 9pm. then, when they need to get the shot and need to go past 9, you've got them by the short hairs. $500-1500/hr is easy to get. and that's when the last PA leaves. not when they start to leave.my family did this for years in downtown LA. we used to have a very unique industrial warehouse complex, that tons of movies, tv shows and commercials were shot there. they pay A LOT. depending on the budget, 5k+ a day is quite possible. if they want to use your furniture(which would be odd and would surprise me), go as high as you can. and if they do, put in writing the things you are excluding, such as your guitars. the guys working on set are careful, sort of. they are used to everything being a rental and treat it as such. also, get an iron clad damage waiver in place as well. they will expect it and will fix anything they damage after the fact. and they will damage things. door jams, floors etc. just make sure to get that in writing and if they use your stuff, take pictures beforehand.
bonus, under 10 days is tax free! speak to a professional on that one
the last big movie at my place was gone girl, with emily ratajkowski. sadly, she wasn't in any of the scenes, filmed at the building. ben affleck was an ok dude though.
The only issue is that I don't want to be so demanding that they look elsewhere. I want to be easy to work with so they keep coming back. It's a fine balance, I know. And this is a Netflix Original 30 minute sitcom, not sure how big their budget is. When I get the contract, I'll pm you or post here to get some input.
they would sometimes put us up in a hotel also, but i would strongly advise some supervision. while it sounds cool to have a shoot at your house, it's merely business to them. if they want to park the generator truck on your lawn and you're not there to say, uh...no. they will just do it. and think of your neighbors as well. you may have rules/laws in place regarding noise, etc.
I should start a thread about it, but have any of your wives gotten more nuts as they've gotten older? My wife when she was young was always super fun, risk taking, just DGAF as long as we were having fun. Not physical risk but stuff like banging outside with the possibility of getting caught kind of thing. And not only sex stuff but like just heading somewhere without some definitive mapped out plan of where you going, etc.
That's effin' brilliant.
My wife wasn't that adventurous when we were younger. Now that she's knocking on 40, she is even less so. You should see the monster itinerary for Disney. 10 friggin pages. I like to go somewhere and figure out what I want to do. She has it mapped out to the minute. Maybe it's just Disney. Don't know. But I can relate.
I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little disappointed.
Sorry, man. This was more or less a dream scenario.They pulled out, saying the scene was cut from the script.
2nd best thread in the month of July. Man. You gave us all a sweet ride. Well done, moar Please!They pulled out, saying the scene was cut from the script.
UghThey pulled out, saying the scene was cut from the script.
So what were the details of the contract before they pulled out? Inquiring minds want to know.They pulled out, saying the scene was cut from the script.
:(They pulled out, saying the scene was cut from the script.
That’s my hope. It’s a series set specifically in my neighborhood in Chicago so chances are better than average!Now that you are on their radar, maybe this will lead to other opportunities like this.
this wasn't the problem. fair pricing. in LA, there are registries of a sort. call the location scout back and tell him/her, that you're always willing and to keep you in mind in the future.
