Rise in remuneration for video operators within the Department of Fisheries and Oceans

The film industry in Russia is experiencing a significant surge, with an increase in demand for various film production services that shows no signs of slowing down.

According to recent reports, requests for sound engineers' services have increased by an impressive 41%, and advertisements by a staggering 70%. This trend is not a temporary seasonal phenomenon, but a stable trend that reflects the industry becoming more accessible and popular.

The labor and services market in the film production sector showed significant growth from January to July 2025, with a more than threefold increase in the demand for extras' services compared to the same period last year. Surprisingly, the average price of extras has actually fallen by half.

The demand for gaffers, lighting specialists, has increased by 115%, and the number of offers from performers has increased by 127%. Voice actors were needed 57% more often, with their offers increasing by 128%.

Interestingly, the Far Eastern Federal District values video operators highly due to their key role in production, the need to operate equipment, and high responsibility for the visual result of the project. As a result, video operators in this region receive the highest pay, reaching 150,000 rubles per month. Meanwhile, the average offered salary for film workers in Moscow increased by 40% to approximately 98,400 rubles per month.

The wages of film workers are influenced by various factors, including the project's type, duration, scope of work, experience, and portfolio of the specialists. The lower prices for film shoots, which have become 20% cheaper, may also play a role in these higher wages.

However, it's worth noting that there are no available search results naming specific film productions in Moscow and the Russian Far East in 2025 with increased budgets that might have caused increased demand for film services and rising wages for film workers.

Despite this, more people are eager to participate in the creation of film and video content. The film industry is becoming more accessible to both participants in the shooting process and viewers, which bodes well for its continued growth.

In conclusion, the film industry in Russia is thriving, with increased demand for various film production services and rising wages for film workers. The trend shows no signs of slowing down, and the industry is becoming more accessible to both participants and viewers. It will be interesting to see how this growth continues in the coming years.
