where to get some free forms quick
 

I need to get a contract form for a video shoot. Shooting a project on an hourly rate.

Also, need to get a talent release form.

and a shot list form would be nice too.

Thank you
Lisa

Lisa,

This link doesn't have a shooting for hire contract but does have some release forms and other useful utilities and tools:

Good luck,

Hi Lisa,

Lots of free stuff.

Cheers,

Liam.

That's an awesome resource. Thank you!

Try office depot, they have all sorts of basic contracts there.

where can i download model/talent release form?
 

anyone know where i can download a generic model/talent release form? i tried finding one, but only found release forms for specific websites, film schools and such, like for example a release form for istockphoto or the university of pennsylvania.

thanks.

IIRC, Hal Landon has one at Video University dot com.

This question is common enough that I've merged together a number of threads which discuss it.

Anyone been able to order "Forms from The Independent Film Producer's..."
 

I really like a book called "The Independent Film Producer's Survival Guide" by Gunnar Erickson, Mark Halloran, and Harris Tulchin. Not just a list of documents/templates, but a thorough description of legal aspects of producing independent movies/videos.

They offer a CD-ROM with files of all the documents in the book; I am wondering if anyone here has been able to purchase those. I placed an online order (the CD is only available through one of the authors directly) almost two weeks ago and haven't seen anything, not even a confirmation e-mail. Last week I sent them an e-mail, asking to confirm that they have my order, and I haven't received a response yet.

As I said, I really like the book, so I am hoping that this will come to a good end. Has anyone here purchased this CD and can comment on the ordering process?

I have used this book for a while and found it valuable:

Business and Legal Forms for Photographers
by Tad Crawford

Now I have the 3rd addition that comes with a CD-ROM of all the forms included formated for Word and in PDF.

Here's the release I use. It's based on the one from the book and one from the local community college.
