Caution is advised and sensible. 18 months ago I did loads of filming for a pilot of a show that was going to be the next big thing. I got all enthused by the producers blah blah. They had no cash but were sure they would be able to pay me when they were rich. I must have done 200 hours of work for them and hey guess what the pilot was crap (hey, wanst my filming it was crap editing by another) and looking back the idea was crap and they were scammers and I never got paid.... The expirience was good I suppose but the money would have been nicer.

Just checked thier (hibernating) site http://urbanikons.com/ , the gits, they used some of the vidoe i shot on the site, they got all this bollox on how ethical thier business is and then they didnt even plug me in thier links.
