Subject: PUPT: Real To Life construction


Hi all,

I have a couple of questions for those designers and builders who have
been constructing real to life animals for film stand ins.  
Renaissance Artist is about to bid on our first project of this
nature.  I have no concerns with making the animal look real, but I
will probably want to bring someone on board to collaborate on the
Mechs.

So, here is the question.  I want to make sure that my bid includes
a fair salary for someone with this kind of experience.  Can I get
a ballpark figure from some of you what that might be? I have 
mechanical experience, but am almost certain that the job will require
someone with Servo experience, at least in the facial movements.

The second question, is, does anyone know of anyone on the east coast
Preferably (NY, NJ, PA, DE, or MD) that might be interested in
coming on board for this project?  Most of the People I know are
on the West Coast, and I'm trying to keep this project a bit more
compact than that.

Thank you in advance for everyone's assistance in this. 
 
Oh, Everybody say Hooray, it looks like Renaissance Artist is Getting
their very own, custom designed studio to replace our two current work
spaces.

Thanks again,

Liz
