What are typical details included on a contract to do a scene/movie?
Not a contract to only work with a certain production company for a length of time, but a contract between the producer & the talent??
Thanks in advance.

Models usually sign a general model release granting the producer the right to publish the scene. Models give their legal name, date of birth, address, stage name, identification, etc. Details are written as to the relationship created between artist and prdoucer, services rendered, compensation, grant of rights, waivers, and any other agreements that the parties enter into.

You're my boy, Brandon.
I was under the impression that the model release is signed on the day of the shoot, this leaving the option of the model boycotting the signature if he/she was subjected to something not specified in the sex act agreement.
Is this true?
So I guess this contract which is signed pre-shoot just specifies acts required to be performed, compensation, etc?
Cheers

It's normal to discuss what's expected for the shoot prior to the shoot. Some people have the models sign the release before the shoot; some after.

So there's no contract per se apart from the model release?

I really shouldn't be here

I'm not sure what you mean heres the definition of contract
1 a: a binding agreement between two or more persons or parties; especially : one legally enforceable b: a business arrangement
I think it's more toward part b of that
I just pulled one for you
because my basement is flooded and I don't want to deal with that so I will type this instead
cover sheet
movie title
performers name
model release executed by performer
witnessed
2 forms of ID, copies attached
copies of tests
w-4 or w-9
invoice for services rendered if paying W9
on the model release itself
1. services
titles
dates
2. Initial date time location of service
3. compensation
4.consent
5.work for hire
6.assignment of other rights
7.further actions
8.derivitive works
9.ownership of resulting intellectual property (that has a-d sub points)
10.approval rights
11. waiver of moral rights
12. enforcement of rights of publicity
13.acknoledgement of nature of performance
14.waiver of liability
15.acknowledgement of imperfect accuracy of health tests
16 performer warranties
17 no use or employment obligations
18 no joint venture partnership or agency relationship
19 miscellaneous
20 age and tax responsibility certification
21 acknowledgement of binding agreement
then a page with sigs for performer witness producer and the test results
naturally those are just overview bullet points, they do not reflect any specific company and are not intended to be used as a model release, I posted them to give you an idea of what topics are covered on an average model release in my experience, it is a legal document and what I just posted is just my uneducated internet post and should not be interpreted as a legal document, or an outline for a legal document, it's for entertainment purposes only

Other than Kimi I totally agree with everything Brandon said.
Today I did two scenes. In one case I filled out paperwork before the scene in the other I did it after we were done. It really doesn't matter. I don't know any performer who ever reads a model release. You just fill in the blanks.
Some paperwork includes "witness" and "STD testing", some doesn't.
Some companies insist on the model to fill out everything personally. Some fill it out themselves and the model just signs.

Steve is right, in porn valley, all seasoned performers fill out the release without even looking. Some web companies are now filming the model fill out the release. Due to the paranoia of 2257. Metro even started finger printing people. The model release is to protect the studio nobody else.
Maybe Steve or Brandon can tell you about the occasional new performer who reads every single word, does not understand anything and it takes 30 minutes to fill out the forms. After a while, they quit reading and just sign.
Cheers.
