model agency for video and commercials in Berlin

Video and commercials in Berlin are booked as a day of screen work where the performer's role is fixed before the call sheet is printed. A model agency in this city lists the faces a production can cast against that brief, and the terms that follow from the role are settled off site.

Three things to settle before the day

• The performer's classification as principal or extra, which fixes both the usage structure and the screen time they will be asked for.
• The hold disclosed at casting: the contract type, any waiver sought, and the competing product areas the booking closes off.
• Who holds the actor's position while lighting and camera are set, so the setup is complete before the principal steps in.

Berlin's studio district sits close to the trade-fair grounds, so a commercial day often runs into the same week as an exhibition floor. That overlap means the booker confirms travel and overtime before the date is locked, and agrees in writing what the pictures may be used for afterwards.
