Thank
you for your interest in our Animal Actor/Model Casting Agency!
Please
read these guidelines prior to submitting your pet(s)
In
addition to being an entertainment company, Amazing Animals
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.
Our
agency hires domestic pets, exotics, and farm animals for print
ads, commercials, TV, and film. It’s free to list your pet
in on our animal talent website. Pet owners are paid a fee percentage
for every project their pet books.
Samantha
Martin, owner and chief animal trainer, has over thirty 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.
The
animal’s health and welfare always come first.
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.
If
you think that your animal may be right for a commercial
or film career, please consider the guidelines below and
return the registration 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 destined to be a Pet Star?
Consider how well can you answer the following questions:
•
Is your pet friendly and easy to handle? • Does your pet enjoy new experiences and environments? • Will your pet readily accept directions and
handling from a stranger? • Is your pet obedience and/or agility trained? If
so, does your pet have a strong sit/stay?
If
you answered "Yes" to these questions, then submit
your pet now!
Additional
considerations:
- A pet who is anxious around
new people and/or animals is not a good candidate for this type
of work.
-
A pet that hates changes to its environment will not be happy
in a studio setting.
-
We frequently need groups of animals ranging from a litter of
puppies to a flock of sheep. Please reach out to us if you are
a breeder, animal rescue, or farmer.
-
Don’t hesitate contacting us if you have exotic pets. We
welcome them for projects too.
If
you think your pet is ready to be a star, please download
