Hey CB:
I did two thorough sound design for two holiday shows in a mid-sized Seattle theater last year, one ~100 cues and the other ~30. They are bringing the same shows back this year and want to use my designs again. They are paying me royalties for re-using my design (as we had decided last year).
My question is that I have no idea what to ask for royalties.... Any thoughts on a general percentage of the stipend I was paid the year before? I'm most likely going to have to re-send/do my cue sheets because they have a new SM.
Also, they recently have upgraded their show computer to run QLab, but one of the two shows was run off of ShowControl for PC-- This might not happen, but how much do you think would be reasonable to ask for a re-program of the show for a new playback medium? (~30 cues- not too many).
I want to ask for 30% of my stipend. To high? Low? Any ballpark percentages would be super helpful.
