    Hello,
    thank you for the inquiry for a union crew here in Chicago.
    We are the perfect company for your assignment as we have 5 staff crews and 20+ camera packages. Big Shoulders has been providing crews, editing and a studio for 17 years here in Chicago.
    We work with 15+ different foreign TV networks and broadcasters every year. We shoot at McCormick Place almost every week for a trade show or meeting. We know the building and people.
    A 2 man, HD crew will be $1,750 per day. Half days are not allowed by union rules but we can discount the gear for the 2nd day ($1,500). Our crew includes a full audio package with boom and our camera package includes an HD client monitor as well as full complement of lights including some Kino’s. No charge for parking either.
    I hope we can work with you on this and future assignments.
    thank you, please call me anytime.
