"the pay rate will be offered to you upon successful application so please don't ask"
Is this how your clients do business with you? seems a strange way of doing business, you cannot be bothered to tell those who take time to reply if they are unsuccessful, you cannot give any prices until they are successful, which may be inadequate and so everyones time is wasted.
So what is the daily rate, if you supply equipment?
See my comments on the other job ad!
I may sound sceptical, but, I doubt a useful reply will be forthcoming.
Perhaps superman is the ideal candidate. In the real world I would think that they need a good all rounder at £250 per 10 hour day and camera hire with tripod at £135 per day - all plus vat.
