Are you sure that everyone who works on a movie gets royalties and not just a salary while they are employed ?
- b20000 4y agoCamera operators and lighting people probably are just paid by the hour. I'm not an expert, so I'm going by what I've heard left and right from industry people. But, anyone who writes a script, acts in the movie (and is not an extra somewhere in the background), works on the sound effects or composes the music, very likely walks home with a rev share, and possible also with a chunk of money up front. Another data point - someone recently told me they got 120K up front for a few minutes of singing in a commercial which airs on TV.
