Several projects are in the process of digitizing live models for
animation/attract screens.  If this applies to you OR may apply to
you in the future, please note the following procedure for paperwork...

Three forms are involved:

   1) RELEASE FORM:  this form gives Atari legal rights to the use of
      the model's image and/or voice.  Each project may have special
      circumstances (Ex. Cyclotron used minors, requiring an extra
      line for the parent to sign).  Consequently, ALWAYS get your
      release form DIRECTLY from Berry Kane.  The completed form should
      be xeroxed (you keep xerox, Berry gets original).

   2) W-9: for tax purposes.

   3) CONTRACTOR INVOICE:  essentially, a timecard.  Both the W-9 and
      the Contractor Invoice can be obtained from Lois.  Xerox completed
      forms.  You keep copy, Lois gets originals (attach W-9 and Invoice).
      She will deliver the completed forms to finance for payment.  It
      takes 2-3 weeks for payment (be smart - tell your model 4 weeks).

Regardless who does the paperwork, the project leader is ultimately
responsible for it's completion.

The above forms are not necessary when the subject is an Atari Employee.
When dealing with agencies, payment is made to the agency who then pays
the model.  For information on the purchase/rental of props & costumes,
refer to Rob Rowe.
