Pushing and Rescheduling

[RonBaldwin]

Yea well it is easier said than done. The Urine that is. How about the jizz on your hummer? Gavnuke galava!

 

lucky you fly the transmitter on the bottom of your sled, your count is low so it just blew off onto an fj behind me on the fwy! I am glad you are out of there for now! Eastern Europe is crazy but fun!

[Robert Starling SOC]

It's great to see you back in the USA BJ ! You and Ron just pick right up exactly where you left!

So hows Friday or Saturday for some drinks to help get that smoke out ouf your lungs? I would vote for someplace on the west side but I am biased.

Here is a good one, I just flew home because my show got shut down for two weeks due to fire hazard in Moscow. We are suppose to go back in two weeks TBD on the fires. My gear is still there because it is really tough to get equipment shipped if it isnt in a crate full of gear. Im not getting paid now nor am I getting rental on my gear on this hiatus. Production has filed a insurance claim because of the fires. I do have a Agent Russell Todd and there is nothing we can due do to some sort of deal agreement if something like this was to happen. So here I am sitting at home trying to get the smoke out of my lungs that I inhailed for two weeks straight. It is a bummer because Ive only been home for 1 day and I already got a ton of calls. Sure I could try to work and rent someone elses gear from them. Its just a mess. ANyway, Im home for a few days then heading back out. Anybody care to grab some drinks in the next few days?

 

Big bummer BJ. "Such is the business we've chosen", I guess is the moral. Sometimes we just gotta bend over and take it with a smile. I, for one, am going to try to incorporate some reasonable pay or play clause in my deal memo from now on, wether it flies or not. And I'll do my best to enforce it. I don't think it's right that producers can put somebody on a hard booking and then cancel or push without a penalty. Maybe not a full rate for the day, but a reasonable cancellation or rebooking penalty is in order. In your case BJ, I guess it's a tough call. I would imagine some idle pay during the hiatus would be appropriate, but what do I know. I'd love to get together for a brewski and commiserate with you buddy but I'm working in the 'Rouge. Hope things go better when you're back in the USSR!

 

PS - Thanks for the PM's and deal memos guys.

This is a good one BJ. I wonder what is in the contracts clause for "Forces Majeure," I'm sure THEY are entitled to recoup ALL of your billings due to the hiatus...

[BJMcDonnell SOC]

Guys I would love to grab drinks with ya'll while I await my departure AGAIN ugh. Yep Force Majeure is exactly what it is and Im pretty screwed. All my gear is there and Im just sitting here. I just heard that my departure is getting pushed another week but production is going to start us back up on payroll for 8 hr days in good faith.

Hey BJ!

 

Sounds like a sucky deal.

 

I have two complete rigs if you need a rig in the interim; my XCS Ultimate and PRO arm or my Clipper 24 and G50 arm. Preston, transmitters... whatever you need buddy! I've got work booked but there's nothing that I couldn't fly without either one of those rigs.

Hey Robert,

 

 

 

Thanks homie. I actually may need to take you up on that offer. I have a reshoot day coming up and may need a complete setup yikes!!! Just one day though.

I was gonna post this in the classifieds for a friend of mine in Moscow...he has a complete pro package with preston for sale as well as a nexus sled/ar available immediately. He wants to move it quick, so I bet you could get the whole package super cheap, maybe $75k?

I was in Lithuania in 01 and again in 02, ran into a lot of those guys (Lithuania is like Cali to them...ask them about Nida!). My buddy has always wanted to be a steadicam op and recently got this great package pretty cheap (smells like smoke though). He and his buddy's are trying to unload it quick -- for some reason he would rather have a glideski-cam. Russel Todd has an offer on it, but he's low-balling so he ask me to help a bit on the forum.

 

pm me for a full equipment list.
