Shin, don't quote me on an exact price but I know for sure of two gentlemen who have price tags (one above and one below) $4,000 with Paper Crane. I never said that was just the filming. I'm talking everything total. The man / woman hours in filming, editing, cutting. I'm talking about the art work design for the DVD, the cover, materials, packaging of gimmicks, advertising, etc. There is a lot more than goes into it than you think by the time you start with raw footage film. The cost jumps up pretty darn quickly so the way most companies do it is, you either pay some money up front to get the ball rolling or you wait until the product starts selling and hope that your revenue exceeds your expenditures before the magician starts seeing $.
Danny,
What's up man? We haven't chatted in awhile. Like Draven was saying earlier, anytime you work with an agent or someone who is helping you get gigs or exposure, 20-25 % usually comes right off the top and is given to the person who got you the gig. Any time someone in my club books me for a gig, I give them 20%. That is pretty standard across the board. By amateurs like us releasing material on The Wire, you are being given the potential to become the next big thing and make a few bucks or you can still enjoy it as a consumer and find more products that you might enjoy. I just sent you a PM so check it.
