Camera assistant demand follows DP demand — most AC calls are paired with a hired DP and a specific camera package. CrewFeed surfaces both on each listing.
Common questions — 1st AC / 2nd AC jobs
Are 1st and 2nd AC listings separated on CrewFeed?
They share the same role key in the filter (1st AC / 2nd AC) — the specific call shows in the title and body. Use the keyword filter '1st AC' or '2nd AC' to narrow.
What's a typical AC day rate on tri-state shoots?
Posted rates most often land between $450 and $900 per day for 1st AC and $300 to $600 for 2nd AC, with commercial work toward the top of those ranges. Each listing shows the actual posted rate.
Do AC listings usually pair with a specific camera package?
Most do — listings name the camera body (ARRI, RED, Sony FX-series) so you can confirm familiarity with the package before applying. CrewFeed surfaces the camera keyword in the listing tags.
