Writers strike and we all get taxed
While we are at it can we dish out some residuals for the electrician that laid the cables for this "project". I mean if he hadnt gotten that job done said project would not have been "brought to life".
You knew the pay going in, you took the job. Just like the rest of us. I understand negotiating for more pay, but come on already.
The lighting director is using as much art as the writer. as is the DP and camera operator. In fact just about every job that has an impact on the picture is considered an artform these days. People want to get paid for all of this intellectual property that they supposedly "own" now. maybe we should pay some residuals to the mentors that taught us these art forms. without them there wouldn't have been foundation laid for these megaopoly pictures.
People get so upset that someone has figured out how to make more money off of them then they can, that they have a sudden sense of entitlement. Guess what... it will just evolve from here. in the meanwhile we are cutting off our industry nose despite our face. lets piss on the blue collar guy that has to make his measly 250-500 a day doing some ridiculous job that he gets paid way to much for.
Dont we realize we get paid a ton of money to do relatively unimportant work that is mild and usually simple. So I successfully recorded audio for a whole day, this entitles me to make 4 times the median family income by myself.
I am not saying the Producers are right by any means, there is tons to bash on there as well. I think we should work on legislature that deals with excess profitability, and relate it to social consciousness. I know that sounds all eco, green, happy democrat ala westlake mom with guilt issues and plastic surgery in her escalade on 22's calling for social reform, but seriously break the poor people off some.
More later
