DOWNTIME DISCLAIMER

due to the natural flow of production, it is normal to experience some down time on shoots. this can occur while crew is setting up a new scene, speaking with the client, working with another service provider, etc.  

each shoot's pacing + down time varies based on the shoot's needs. some shoots will require immediate action at start. some may have down time at the beginning of the shoot.

providers always get paid for the full time booked + any additional time spent, regardless of how much and when downtime is experienced. our crew needs the flexibility of ready providers for the full time booked.
