How often do you hire a Digital Tech?
« on: November 11, 2008, 04:33:54 am »

I was wondering about a couple different things pertaining to hiring a digital tech.  I would appreciate it if you could weigh in and answer any (or all) of the questions.  Many thanks!!

1 - How often do you hire a DT? Every job, only large jobs, only complicated jobs, etc?

2 - For those that do hire DT's, do you generally hire independent techs or do you hire through studios, rental houses, etc?

3 - Do you hire techs to work your own equipment, or do you hire DT's who provide an entire set cart (MFDB, tower, UPS, printer, etc) of their own?

4 - What sort of day rates do your techs bill?  For just the tech by himself?  For a tech with a full set cart?

5 - When you travel, do you hire a local tech or do you fly out your "home-tech"?

6 - And finally, can you recommend any good techs in the NYC market with experience working on location?

Thanks again!
