REQUIREMENTS FOR PLACEMENT ON THE ISA MULTI-CAMERA QUALIFICATION LISTS
(Excerpted from Article 24 of the 2002 Basic Agreement between the DGA and the AMPTP)

General Requirements:

24-501 (a) All qualifying days must be obtained on multi-camera television motion pictures (including videodisc/videocassette, pay television and basic cable motion pictures) of the type covered by the Basic Agreement or by the DGA Freelance Live and Tape Television Agreement. The employment required under this provision for placement on a MCQL may be satisfied by employment with signatory companies to any agreement with the Guild and/or with non-signatory companies.
  (b) Seventy-five percent (75%) of the qualifying days must be "shoot days." For purposes of the MCQLs only, individuals may count any shooting or blocking day on a multi-camera program as well as the remaining work days in a week during which there is at least one (1) shoot day and one (1) camera blocking day. Twenty-five percent (25%) of the total days may include prep and wrap days. (Shoot day provisions do not apply to qualifying days obtained on news or sports programs).
  (c) There shall be no location requirements.
  (d) The verification process for counting days for placement on the MCQLs should include, to the extent possible, payroll records; pay stubs; crew/staff lists; screen credit lists; and letters of verification from production company executives. All letters must specify the duties performed.
