Title: Model Release question
Post by: dnavarrojr on April 02, 2011, 16:28
I did a video shoot with an actress yesterday and I just noticed today that when she filled out the model release, she left out her phone number and email.

My first question is...  Are those two items required?  I can imagine instances where you shoot a homeless person or something who doesn't have either.  She did fill out her correct address.

My second question is... If either or both are required by ShutterStock, Dreamstime, etc... could I fill that info in, or does it have to be in her handwriting?

TIA for your help.

I fill in all the info on my releases for IS.  All they care about is the signature and the witness info.

Thanks.  I am curious as to who will accept it as is, so I went ahead and submitted a clip to Pond5, SS, RevoStock, and CanStock.  And I submitted a still to Dreamstime.

If necessary, I'll fill in her email/phone.  I really wish the agencies would accept electronic signatures so that I could just use my iPhone model release app.
