Employment-Based Digital Replica. (2/6)

Employment-Based Digital Replica. Created during a performer's employment with their physical participation, and use to portray the performer in scenes they didn't actually shoot.
Mandatory consent from performers is required for creating and using their digital replicas. Consent not obtained before deah must be obtained from an authorized representative or the Union. Clear contracts with a reasonably specific description of the use. Additional consent requirements for use in additional projects.
Performers are generally entitled to compensation (including pension and health contributions) for the creation and use of their replicas, and for their use in additional projects or other mediums. Residuals will also be paid for any use that would normally generate residuals.
Independently Created Digital Replica. (3/6)

Independently Created Digital Replica. Digital replicas created often using existing materials, and used to portray the performer in scenes they didn't actually shoot.
Producers are obligated to obtain consent prior to use from the performer. Consent not obtained before deah must be obtained from an authorized representative or the Union. Clear contracts with a reasonably specific description of the use.
Compensation and residuals freely bargained. Any compensation paid to the performer for use of the Independently Created Digital Replica will be subject to pension or retirement and health contributions.
