rates

First off, just remember, once you accept that rate, that is what you will always get paid from this company.
As for pointers, depending on your After Effects skills and reel, explain that no only are you getting an editor, you are getting a fx artist. Also, depending on your experience, put on the table say your coloring skills and sell them on your skills. Just make sure you can deliver because if they accept your rate, you will be under a microscope.

what s is a good rate to get for me?
-
I think $50/hour on their gear, $100-150 on yours. Anything else is low with your experience.

i know it would be low but it is a steady pay do i take it if its low for know and it might open new doors.

Honestly, it’s just something you will have to decide on. Most of us take jobs for whatever reason for lower pay.
In your meeting, just think before you agree and leave yourself as many options as posible. Try to set up sort of ‘ground rules’. Like, ‘if I do this, I expect this’. That way, if the parameters change, you have grounds to re-negotiate.
Unfortunately, you will never know if it is the right decision unless you take the job. If you turn it down, you will always wonder. As far as money, only you know if this meets your needs. The one point I have read into your post is, you would turn this work down on grounds that you MAY get other work in the future. What if you don’t get the other work? Then you would have wished you took this job. What if you turned the job down, and a job paying twice the rate came along, you would be glad you turned it down.
So many what ifs!

Many of you threw out some rates and I’m wondering, are these rates for video/television production or film? I’ve read interviews with some film editors who say you can make between $25-$100 per hour but I’ve never heard/read someone making more than $100/hr on a film. Does feature film work typically pay less than commercial/video production work? Obviously, budget is a variable when it comes to films, so let’s cover both bigger budget films ($1million or more) and lower budget film, say $100K-$500K.
Thanks!

Oh I know, Grin. =) I was just looking for something in the film biz. Knowing the absolute minimum helps a bit.
Grin, I saw some pics of your setup. What Avid is that, if you don’t mind me asking.
