Art director on Obsession making $300 a day is crazy. That is L O W in Los Angeles for positions that REPORT to the art director. I started at $400 a day 9 years ago and rates have gone back down since 2020 but they haven't gotten to $300 for AD low.
The Obsession art director post. Man, what a choice.
One year total experience. Only credit pre-Obsession is a single short film. Sign on to a low budget indie. Agree to rate. Movie explodes. You're suddenly the Art Director fo the most talked about film of the year.
If this ever happens to you, let me give one piece of advice. Embrace it. Use the credit to fight off offers, get a BTL agent, turn those difficult three weeks into an incredible career.
Do NOT cut every connection you have to the filmmakers, put out tweets about how you wish you'd shut down their production, and complain about the rate you agreed to (which isn't even like $100 or some student film sketchiness).
Do you know how many indies I have done as an actor for $240/day? A fucking lot. Every single time I know what I'm getting into and I hope to god it turns out well and leads to another opportunity. I cannot even imagine getting cast in Obsession and then putting out a career ruining post about it instead of trying to leverage it into more work.
@DroodHT Spoke to my LGS and they asked if I was interested in the marvel set and they said WOTC are saying internally they think it’ll be like FF… which I highly doubt

@nuhre_ So you work for a company for 4 years, in an industry known for strict NDA’s and you think she lied about it? Do you have anything better to do than just shit on someone for doing way better than you in life?
