Sgt Wilson Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 I was an Avionics Technician, so used to fix 'em when the pilots broke 'em. Did a fair bit of flying though but mostly in transport aircraft. BTW I have been off this site for a while, did you find a name for your team?

M13KYF Posted April 24, 2007 Share Posted April 24, 2007 The job is interesting & I get new challenges with it all the time. Its still a very competetive job as theres always lots of freelance grips applying for the same show, so it takes a while to get you're name around and to find a good Director of photography & camera op that trust you 100%. As for rates, if it was a full time job, it would be a 6 figure salary, but being freelance I only work about 6 - 8 months of the year. I probably could do more, but I'm not greedy & at 60 + hours a week theres only so much you want to do. I've just won a contract which starts shooting 11th June until 23rd November which I'm pleased about as its a show I've done for the last 3 years Cheers Phil Do you get much work out of YTV?
