hey yall i have been getting my ducks more in a row and have an LLC and all required insurance etc. on music videos, commercials, etc, its easy enough to bill through my LLC. however, when filling out a time card for a union show (paid through indiepay) should i continue to go in as myself or as my LLC? and then should i direct deposit into my business or personal account? ideally i would bill both equipment (see below) and labor as my LLC, and put both checks into my business account so that all of my income can start going to one place and taxes will be more of a breeze. however i am unsure if i will be credited my union hours if i bill labor as my LLC. thoughts? also, for my gear i can either do loan out as LLC or invoice for the gear (also as LLC). is there a benefit for one over the other? thanks for your help brett.

Hello, I'm a fresh steadicam owner/ operator in LA who is considering joining a camera union, but am unsure about which union treats steadicam operators the best. Has anyone joined a camera union, and has experience with your membership you feel is worth sharing?
