Thanks for that-

Would you by chance have any ideas on a Sony A7s (gen 1) turned on all day?

I actually have decent to good lighting in the studio, but a lot of artists don’t want to be blasted…

Thanks Todd-

And maybe to add to it just a little, the husband and wife team that we have been hiring has been very good with offering locations, suggestions and ideas for lighting, and great with coaching the artists to get good shots/footage at the shoot. They also will check out the set and make some suggestions for things to have at the shoot (they suggested fog machine, some sheer fabric, we went and bought those).

In my world, if I hire a session guitarist at his rate, he really is only obligated to play note-for-note what I ask him to play. If I need someone who can make some creative contributions, I usually offer to either pay more or include a small split of the publishing. Publishing is very easy to split via PRO’s though. In this context, he didn’t write the song, but maybe did write a cool melody that is part of it.

We do appreciate the creative input, and we found some people working for really cheaper then they probably should be, so that’s where we have offered to pay above (double) their rate card.

Thanks for the feedback.
