Splitting the money on a collab: decide it in writing before you shoot
“We'll figure out the money after we shoot” is the most expensive sentence in this business. A collab is a deal between two businesses — who owns the footage, who posts where, and how the money moves all have to be settled while you both still have every reason to be fair.
