AOI Contracts Masterclass
<UL>
<LI>Providing an accessible insight into contracts, this master class will offer a general overview of contracts before focusing on motion contracts more specifically.</LI>
<LI>AOI advisor, Robert Lands will take a look at illustration contracts in depth.  Areas covered will include the clauses that most often trip people up, the essential clauses that should be included to ensure the contract is fair and he will also touch on recent trends.</LI>
<LI>Matthew Dench will then take a closer look at media contracts. With illustration increasingly becoming a cross-industry discipline, Matthew will cover the ins and outs of these often weighty and financially heavy contracts.</LI>
<LI>Lastly, we will have a word from long standing AOI member Miss Led who will give the illustrator’s perspective on negotiating and standing fast using examples from her past.</LI>
<LI>Practical examples will be drawn from publishing, TV, film and editorial and there will be ample time for Q&A with the speakers. </LI>
<LI>This session would suit agents and illustrators who are currently, or are hoping to work across a range of commissioning areas, providing concrete skills as well as building confidence.</LI>
