This invaluable resource provides fundamental tools to produce a more thorough, more organized, and more professional production along with crucial information to help prevent accidents, insurance claims, and law suits- saving you both precious time and production dollars. This must-have guide covers the essentials of the business, from sample pre-production and post production schedules to contracts and company policies relating to insurance, talent management, and even customs and immigration details. The book contains the many necessary forms including SAG, DGA, and WGA forms, together with standard production forms, deal memos, and release forms which are found both in the book and on companion computer disks (available for both Windows and Macintosh formats). Seasoned professionals will find the checklists invaluable and the book a quick reference for the myriad of information they can't always keep in their heads.
