So I have an Upwork account, and someone just messaged me to do a storyboard test. But this was his message:
>"Are you able to do a test on this? I will be selecting a freelancer tomorrow, and the final output has to be delivered before August 13. Budget is $40 all in to storyboard four scenes from the pitch script. If you're alright with this, please find attached the first third of the script and accomplish this test:
Storyboard sample for Sequence 3 Scene 3 (this is one of the four scenes to be boarded upon selection)
Freelancer will be chosen from applicants based on the quality of their test submission. If the pitch is successful, the same freelancer will be hired to storyboard the additional necessary scenes as chosen by the executive producer with a working budget of $250."
Is this guy asking me to do free work for him? How much does one usually charge for storyboards? $40 for four sequences does not sound like a lot.
The guy also attached his script, and the sequence in question will be at least 10 panels.
Thoughts?

Test =/= Free work
Of course, you won't know until you do it and get hired. It's impossible to know really, but that's what you get for being a freelancer with no legitimate contacts.

That sounds absolutely shit tier.

Tests are usually done by real companies and studios for in-house applicants. No self-respecting freelancer does a "test" to apply for a fucking 40$ commission with the prospect of maybe doing another 250$ commission at a later date.

OP here. Funny enough the guy who messaged me is a photographer.
He has to realize this is shit pay.
