The Association of Independent Commercial Producers (AICP) Digital Chapter has introduced its new Standard Production Agreement specifically tailored to companies which produce content digitally.
The contract fills an industry void, related Matt Miller, president/CEO of the AICP. “For a long time, our members, the agencies and clients have lacked an agreement that applied to work produced digitally, and were attempting to retrofit contracts, or piece together something,” said Miller. “With this new resource, there is now a document which provides sound legal framework for this type of production.”
Ed Ulbrich, president of the AICP Digital Chapter and president, Commercials, at Digital Domain, added, “The purpose behind AICP Digital is to examine and address issues affecting companies producing content digitally, and this is one of many such business tools you will see from us.”
The AICP Digital Board and its Standards & Practices Committee created the document, along with AICP legal counsel Kane Kessler, to address issues such as: producer’s tools, distribution channels and deliverables, cancellation, payment terms, and many other areas. While these issues are not specific only to digital production, there are different considerations which need to be addressed when producing content digitally.

AICP Digital was formed in 2009, and represents over 60 AICP member companies who work in a variety of digital disciplines, including visual effects, interactive, motion graphics, animation, mobile (including applications), design, and installations.
Disney Pledges $15 million In L.A. Fire Aid As More Celebs Learn They’ve Lost Their Homes
The Pacific Palisades wildfires torched the home of "This Is Us" star Milo Ventimiglia, perhaps most poignantly destroying the father-to-be's newly installed crib.
CBS cameras caught the actor walking through his charred house for the first time, standing in what was once his kitchen and looking at a neighborhood in ruin. "Your heart just breaks."
He and his pregnant wife, Jarah Mariano, evacuated Tuesday with their dog and they watched on security cameras as the flames ripped through the house, destroying everything, including a new crib.
"There's a kind of shock moment where you're going, 'Oh, this is real. This is happening.' What good is it to continue watching?' And then at a certain point we just turned it off, like 'What good is it to continue watching?'"
Firefighters sought to make gains Friday during a respite in the heavy winds that fanned the flames as numerous groups pledged aid to help victims and rebuild, including a $15 million donation pledge from the Walt Disney Co.
More stars learn their homes are gone
While seeing the remains of his home, Ventimiglia was struck by a connection to his "This Is Us" character, Jack Pearson, who died after inhaling smoke in a house fire. "It's not lost on me life imitating art."
Mandy Moore, who played Ventimiglia's wife on "This Is Us," nearly lost her home in the Eaton fire, which scorched large areas of the Altadena neighborhood. She said Thursday that part of her house is standing but is unlivable, and her husband lost his music studio and all his instruments.
Mel Gibson's home is "completely gone," his publicist Alan Nierob confirmed Friday. The Oscar winner revealed the loss of his home earlier Friday while appearing on Joe Rogan's... Read More
