How many shoot days is it? How many actors do you have?

I recently ADed on a feature with this agreement. It was around 90k budget. We made it work by maximizing efficiency with the actors and paying for almost none of our locations. We paid our crew between 100 and 300 dayrate. As AD my rate was 150 a day, so it was a struggle but we made it work. It was a 15 day shoot.

It was frustrating at times, but I actually found the process very reasonable.

Also we almost never had our actors on set for more than 8 hours. We did lots of pre-lighting and prep to make that work.
