VO-BB - 20 YEARS OLD!

I've been asked by an overseas studio for a rate for movie trailers. On the SAG/AFTRA site, there doesn't seem to be a separate category for trailers, nor is it a call-out on the commercial rate sheet.

Any ideas who I might ask or where I might find more info?

Thanks!

I'd get in touch with Dan Nachtrab or Anthony Mendez. They've been spending time in that realm.

Hey Mike!

Would like to help you but it would help to know the name of the country where the studio is located. Is that a secret or are we playing 20 questions ?

Ok, I'll start...

1. Is this country larger than Monaco ?

"Trailer" is just another name for a commercial, that happens to be a commercial for a movie.

standard rates in the US are 1k-2k typically depending on budget. can be as low as 500.

out of the US depends on the studio. Is it a major, minor or unknown?

I don't know how "major a player" the studio is, but they are located, and the trailers would be running in cinemas in the United Arab Emirates.

Are they funded by oil? If yes charge 5k.
If its only running in UAE I'd say 500-1k

Oh, there's gobs of money there, to be sure. Wink

But thanks, Eddie, for the great info... and for fine-tuning it.

Thanks also to Bruce for great suggestions (which I followed up on), and to Lee: I agree.
