SAG New Media Agreements!!!

I'm hopefully going to get a podcast out tomorrow or Wednesday sometime about the MOST awesome meeting I attended tonight on Dramatic Web Content!! (i.e. Webisodes, Mobicasts, Animation of the dramatic, theatrical kind….)

Bottom line is this:

1) Yes, SAG does cover web-media and new media (mobicasts)!!
2) No, you don't have to pay anything! Just treat your actors with respect under simple guidelines….like if it's going to be a 6 hour session…feed them!!
3) And YES, YES, YES, it is EASY (& a quick turn around) to do a SAG agreement!! REPEAT – it's SIMPLE to do and you will have a pool of FANTASTIC PROFESSIONAL actors to be in your web or mobi-content!

You (SAG members & Indie producers!!) have been LIED to you!!

SAG wants to help!!! Just make the phone call!!!!

More to come!!!!

Networks set for $120m from web ads

By Matthew Garrahan in Los Angeles

The
four US television networks in a pay dispute with Hollywood television
writers over online video advertising are in line to generate $120m of
revenues in 2007 from free web streaming of their content, according to
a leading media buyer.

The networks have been reluctant to
acknowledge the size of their streaming businesses, partly because
online video advertising has become a sticking point in pay
negotiations with the writers, who have been on strike for almost a
month.
