North Carolina 2008:07
North Carolina 2008:07
July 25, 2008
By Jason Tomlinson
South Region Executive
On June 27, Screen Actors Guild was proud to celebrate its 75th anniversary in conjunction with We Have No Life Productions at the first WiFi (Wilmington Inside the Film Industry) conference in Wilmington, N.C. Members from all walks of the local film community attended the event to celebrate 75 years of the Guild and highlight the wealth of talent in the Carolinas.
#1 B-ROLL/BEHIND-THE-SCENES FOOTAGE
More often nowadays, we are seeing commercial producers shoot behind-the-scenes footage. The usage for this type of footage varies: Internet, director’s reel, advertiser’s in-house reel, etc. This work is covered under the SAG Industrial & Educational Contract and should be negotiated separately from the commercial work. If behind-the-scenes footage is not negotiated at the time of booking, contact SAG immediately, and we will notify the producer that they are required to negotiate and pay for this under the Industrial & Educational Contract.
#2 EDITING RIGHTS ON SPOTS MOVED OVER TO INTERNET OR NEW MEDIA
Under the 2006-2008 Extension Agreement, extended or unlimited editing rights on commercials originally made for broadcast or cable and subsequently moved over the to the Internet or new media must be negotiated. The negotiated amount must be above and beyond the minimum 300 percent move-over fee for use in each area. As an example, a producer MAY NOT offer 300 percent for a move-over fee on a commercial that was originally made for broadcast and will now be shown on a cell phone and include five edits in that amount. Payment should be negotiated at not less than 300 percent for the cell phone use plus a separately negotiated amount for additional edits. To include additional edits as part of the use fee undercuts the contract and the union should be notified immediately, as claims for non-payment of edits will be filed against the producers on behalf of all principal performers in the spots.

GUILD CELEBRATES 75 YEARS
SAG Honors N.C. Film Icon at CelebrationBy Jason Tomlinson
South Region Executive
On June 27, Screen Actors Guild was proud to celebrate its 75th anniversary in conjunction with We Have No Life Productions at the first WiFi (Wilmington Inside the Film Industry) conference in Wilmington, N.C. Members from all walks of the local film community attended the event to celebrate 75 years of the Guild and highlight the wealth of talent in the Carolinas.
During the event, the Guild honored Pat Hingle (above) for his contributions to the film community. Attendees viewed a film montage of Hingle’s vast résumé of film credits. Assistant South Region Director Melodie Shaw presented Hingle with a plaque. Hingle’s esteemed career includes a host of memorable performances in films such as Norma Rae and The Gauntlet. I hope that everyone enjoyed the event. I enjoyed meeting and speaking with our members who attended.
