INITIAL/UPGRADE/ELIGIBLE/INTERCHANGE APPLICATION (Indicate one):

For each project you have worked on (beginning with the most current) indicate:

PROD TITLE: Production Title (working title and, if different, release title)

PROD CO: Production Company/Studio

JOB TITLE: Your job title. If you worked in more than one job classification, indicate the number of days worked in each classification.

DATES OF EMPLOYMENT: From the first day of work to (including) the last day.

NUMBER OF WORK DAYS: Divide the number of days worked into three categories: prep, shoot, or wrap. Divide shoot days into two categories: studio or distant location.

• Paid travel days are counted as prep days.
• Camera blocking days and camera test days are counted as shoot days.
• For placement as a Multi-Camera First Assistant Director every workday of a week in which shooting occurs is counted as a shoot day.
• Distant location is a location on which an employee is required by the employer to remain away from home and be lodged overnight.
• Applicants are not credited for any work without proof of payment.
• Days paid but not worked (i.e. holiday, hiatus, idle location day) are not credited.
• One day of work is credited when an applicant is paid for two jobs in one day.

TOTALS: Total the Number of Work Days on each page, and indicate the Grand Total of all days worked on the first page.

25%/75% The requirements for placement state that 75% of days worked must be spent with the actual shooting company. Therefore, 75% of the minimum days required must be shoot days.

If the requirement is a minimum of 350 days, at least 263 of the 350 days must be shoot days.

If the requirement is a minimum of 260 days, at least 195 of the 260 days must be shoot days.

If the requirement is a minimum of 200 days, at least 150 of the 200 days must be shoot days.

Note: Days credited to an applicant for placement on any DGACA-East Qualification List are generally carried forward when the applicant upgrades (changes classification on that list). However for determining eligibility to work in the Southern California Area or to interchange to a Southern California Area Qualification List, some workdays may not be counted for this purpose.
