So I have a new client that I'm working with on some theatrical one sheet posters and I think he's low balling me on the buyout price. Does anybody have experience with this? This is a major motion picture with a major release and one of the biggest directors in the world. My client knows this is the first time I've worked on a high profile gig like this and I think they might be trying to ring me dry. Anybody know how much teaser one sheets and key art usually cost?

one senior art director i asked said people (or our shop at least) don't do that anymore. first i've heard of that.
a creative director i asked says they do and that:
"if they're also going to use his key art for internet and outdoor, they probably want to include all that under a blanket price
I've seen an $8000 buyout just for internet
so I would need more details"

Well, there's all kinds of merch made off of movie posters. So you've got to get a nice piece of that, right?

interesting. i guess since i'm a contractor working for the agency their selling price will be really high. i just need to get paid a fair price to sell the agency the comps.
