Thank
you for your interest in participating in our Animal Actor/Model Agency.
In addition to being an entertainment company, Amazing Animals by Samantha
does a great deal of film and commercial work. Because we often receive
requests for a type of animal that the company may not own, we may rent
the desired animal from another business or an individual.
We
have a file and web pages of available animals that we can show prospective
clients. The owner of the animal receives a percentage of the fee that
we collect from the work. The job may be a photo shoot, commercial, or
film work.
Samantha
Martin, owner and chief animal trainer, has over twenty years of experience
in handling and training animals, from leash training a tiger to teaching
a rat to “sing” into a microphone for a Sony commercial. Ms.
Martin has a distinct and responsible approach to her work.
Positive
reinforcement is used in dealing with all animals. No drugs are ever used
and the company will turn down jobs if the client has unrealistic or dangerous
expectations of the animals in question. Only experienced wranglers are
allowed to handle the animals. The company’s policy requires that
the animals be supervised and handled by Samantha or one of her assistants.
The animal’s health and welfare always come first.
If
you think that your animal may be right for a commercial or film career,
please consider the guidelines below and return the registration form
with current color photos of your animal. Please include clear photos
of your pet alone—front view, side view, and close-up head shot with
a plain background (curtain or blank wall). We will keep your pet’s
information on file and contact you if we can use him/her for any work.
Please keep in mind that we cannot guarantee that your animal will be
chosen for a job. Payment is based on time involved and complexity of
job.
Actor/Model Guidelines
Is your pet friendly and easy
to handle?
Does your pet enjoy new experiences
and environments? (A pet that hates changes in its environment will
not be happy in a strange studio.)
Does your pet have a strong
sit/stay?
Will your pet readily accept
directions and handling from a stranger?
If your pet is a dog, is it
obedience-trained?
Do you raise or breed any type
of animal? We frequently need groups of animals ranging from a litter
of puppies to a flock of sheep.
Do you have an unusual or exotic
type of animal or reptile?
