minus-squareCouldbealeotard@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12arrow-down2·12 days agoNot when your primary work is irregular and you basically have to live and breath the work for the many months you are attached to it. Basically every waking hour you are on the clock, which makes the hourly rate pretty low.
minus-squaresouthsamurai@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5arrow-down22·12 days agoIt’s about ten times what I used to make in one year. Also, he had the chance to negotiate a contract. If he didn’t either stand for more up front, or take points on the back end, that’s on him.
minus-squareviking@infosec.publinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15arrow-down1·12 days agoSo your salary is shit, but that doesn’t mean the director’s is amazing.

minus-squaremagikmw@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·12 days agoThere’s plenty of directors available to direct MCU movies. There’s only one company making them. Not much leverage.
minus-squaresouthsamurai@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down3·12 days agoVery true. The point of doing it wasn’t the direct payment, and I’m pretty sure he said so back a few years ago. But, if he wasn’t okay with it, that’s on him.
