Hire Rates and Charges – Crew

How long is a full day?
A full day is 10 hours including a 45-minute lunch break. The day starts at call time on location for local shoots or departure time from Rocket base on shoots requiring a drive further than 20 kms out of town. If the shoot requires the crew to fly to location the day starts at check-in at the airport

A half-day is 5 hours and is ideally scheduled to fit in to the morning or afternoon on any one day. A half-day is charged at 60% of the full day rate.

Are there any charges for overtime?
Overtime rates are calculated as follows (the rates covers BOTH crew members):
T1.5 ($165.00) per hour for each hour over 10 (i.e. 11th and 12th hours)
T2 ($220.00) per hour for each hour over 12 (i.e. 13th and subsequent hours)

What about crew cancellation fees?
Cancellation fees are avoided where ever possible – these are usually only charged if the shoot is cancelled at short notice and other work has been turned away. Cancellation fees vary and will be discussed in full at the time of booking.
