how much do you think BASE is worth in Tv land and film land...just interested as to what people would charge...what they think its worth and what its really worth...Tom and Norman...and others please feel free to answer...i think that we all sell it a little short...maybe Tim R coul let us all know...

TV = $1500-2000 per minute.

At the risk of threadjacking... I was treated, Friday, to the second crappy CG BASE scene I've witnessed on television. Is this economics? Or are producers (?) just generally not big on getting stunts like a BASE jump (no flying Corvette or anything) done the old-fashioned way? The CG stuff is so mind-numbingly bad that I find it hard to believe that even non-jumpers aren't immediately turned off by it, whereas an actual BASE jump would be, well, pretty exciting for everybody.
