Q. Do you know of any online resources to find weekly rate averages for production art positions? I'm in the process of closing a deal to do a comic adaptation of an optioned feature film, and if the film goes into production, I may also have an opportunity to contribute to the production art staff on a weekly basis. Although my day job involves advertising and design work, I have no experience with the standards of feature film rates.

I would check the IATSE and NABET websites. You probably won't get union rates. But standard non-union rates for techs (not for writers!) are often as high as union rates; you just don't get the benefits.

Q. What do you call an electrician who can work when he's stoned?
A. A grip.

Q. How can you tell the Teamster kid at the playground?
A. He's the one sitting by his tricycle reading the funny papers while the other kids play.

Q. How many Teamsters does it take to plug in a light bulb?
A. Four. ... You got a problem with that?
