Okay, let’s tackle this. So Jackson Snorek has 3+ years of experience as a camera assistant. This role is entry-level in the film industry. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, camera and photographic equipment repairers (the closest occupation) have a median hourly wage of $24. However, this is not directly comparable to a camera assistant. Considering the film industry is a niche market with varying pay scales, I'll use a rough estimate of $50 per hour as a starting point. This rate is likely on the lower end, but it's a conservative estimate for an entry-level camera assistant in the Greater Chicago Area.
