Talk about a hell of a first post.

Just wonder at $29.00 -- which by the way you can not post a casting looking for paid work -- how the hell you make any money or cover your cost of business.

Designer, photographer, studio time oh and a HOLLYWOOD stylist.

Even with 5 or 6 at 29 a head that is 5x29= $145.

So let's see.. Designer, Tog, Stylist, Marketing Director = team of 4.

So $145/4 = $36.25

I'll be nice you live 10 miles round trip to studio 10x .58 (current mileage rate) = $5.80

So now your $36.25 is $30.45

Wear and tear on gear. Depending on what you have, but average is around $15 a day for a professional, which I'm assuming you are with a crew like that..

So now you are down to $15.45

Studio.. Rent, utilities most studio since I don't know those figures, average is around $350-400/ month for utilities...

12x$350 = $4200 a year on utilities... 365 days a year... so $4200/365 = $11.50/day for utilities.

Studio time, most are about $50 hour, if you are renting... I'll take a guess - and keep it low at $500 / month or $16.44 per day

So now you are looking at:

$15.45 - 11.50 - 16.44 = -12.49 so now you are in the hole.

Post processing time, internet fees - or if you are providing CD, then the cost of a disc, telephone and email ( both for marketing said model), wear and tear on the clothing/costumes

So roughly you are about $50-60 in the hole .... for EACH person since I assume you split it all equally which means.. oh fuck it.. you can do the math -- maybe.

I'm curious as well.  I at least added mine to my credits section.
