Here's the full exchange:
Glad the kid got iPhone angles. I would like to see his agent produce one of those contracts tho. I for one am interested to know who what where and why he made 100K a day. I am even more interested to know why he felt the need to make it up to hold a teenagers footage hostage
I’d honestly guess from him paying himself that rate. The only explanation.
I went to grad film school along with legit cream of the crop cinematographers. Nine years on, the only two I could think are making in the ballpark of that rate are ones DPing features with wide releases. Don’t think they’d get even get that doing an episode of tv but it’s hard to say bc budgets are so all over the place
There's some POV VX camerawork in Mid-90s and I'm gonna guess Mikey, one of the many producers of that film, hired himself to shoot it and figured out how to get a bonus out of the budget to the tune of 100k a day. That's also why WME or CAA or whoever would have a record of those numbers handy since what an above-the-line talent (in this case a cinematographer) got paid on their last project kinda determines what they get paid for their next project.
It's weird...even is his IMDB credits are sorta padded out. He gives himself a "curator" credit, along with a producer, writer, cinematographer and self credit, for an Illegal Civ TV mini series from 2016 that probably doesn't exist in any kinda real, watchable form. Mikey Alfred plays himself.
The official name for that Doritos commercial is TRNGL
