The session-fee check for the spot arrived Tuesday the 11th; I picked it up at mine agency and cashed it, immediately calling SAG for an appointment to register as a SAG member
Wednesday January 12, 2000:
I went to SAG and with the $1242 fee in hand, I registered (I even added an extra hundred "in advance" to handle the "flat" annual dues),
making me a fully paid member of the
Screen Actors Guild.
Wednesday January 26, 2000:
I attended the SAG orientation meeting, outlining the features and benefits of the union, after which I had two commercial auditions (one of which had me in for its callback). I also attended the Saturday 0001.29 meeting, the topic of which will be discussing upcoming February 2000 contract negotiations for commercial work.
Update:
By mail my Chicago friend Bob indicated that the AmeriTech spot is airing, but that he didn't spot me.
This could be a case of his simply not realizing he was seeing me in the line-up.
I've replied to clarify how to spot me and I will contact the ad agency to see if I can get a copy of the completed spot(s).
My cyberfriend
Bix
has also seen the spot, but as with Bob, only the latter part and not the beginning. As presumably I am in the opening shot or two before the camera begins to move down the line (I'm only the second guy in the Line-Up), she has also missed seeing me.
Update February 17, 2000:
Emptying my
rental post box,
I found I'd received a February 11th [2000] residual check for the commercial, my first official commercial residuals check!
Considering its amount, it probably aired quite nicely…!
May 4th, 2000:
Lisa Fields of
O2 Ideas
(the ad agency that made the commercial) called me back to let me know they're sending out to me a video tape copy of the commercial.
