What does copy, credit, meals, travel, and lodging mean exactly?
“Copy” is a VHS or DVD copy of the final project once it’s finished. “Credit” is having your name credited on the final project. “Meals” means that you’ll be fed throughout the shooting process. ‘”Travel” can be as large as plane tickets to and from the shooting/touring locations or as small as a gas stipend or subway token. “Lodging” means they’ll put you in a hotel or other housing for the duration of the tour or your portion of the shooting schedule.
