(via esquareda:kevin:annie:visualarmory:Linsey)

One of the most obnoxious proposals by any client for compensation in freelancing film is:

We can’t pay you, but this will look great for your demo reel.

I agree and disagree with this.

Working for free - especially for exposure on a major platform - can be an exceptionally valuable thing.

Case in point: I wrote for free for CollegeHumor for several years, just cuz it was cool, and fun. Because of this exposure, I wrote an article that was read by my future wife, and now we’re like in love and stuff.

BOOM
