FAQs - Membership
Membership on TheSpotSpace is free and open to professionals in the
advertising, marketing and commercial production communities. Freelance
and staff creatives, directors, producers, executive producers, sales
reps, editors, composers, fx artists, designers, music/sound, casting,
location and production design professionals are welcome to join.
Signing up is a two-step process. Members must apply online and give
adequate information to show that you are engaged in the advertising,
branding or commercial production community. Once approved, you can
create a profile and add your photo. Approved members can then add spots
to their profile to create an on-line reel. You're welcome to upload
your six best spots.
FAQs – Spots and Reels
Members can upload spots and/or branded content clips to show their
reel. A maximum of 6 clips can be included. Commercial spots are preferred,
along with appropriate branded entertainment clips. Spec or student
work is welcome, provided the content and quality are demonstrative
of commercial work. This is not a "short film" or "home
video" site.
To provide a viable talent pool for advertising projects and to maintain
quality on TheSpotSpace.Com, all work will be screened for content and
quality before inclusion on the site. We reserve the right to refuse
any spot or clip not appropriate for advertising or branding.
Compression and format:
Video Clips must be sized at 320 x 240 pixels, QuickTime only. Clips
must be less than 3 minutes in length and less than 6 megs each. Thumbnail
images must be in .jpg or .gif format, no larger than 320x240 pixels.
Any submission that doesn't follow the specs will not be approved. Please

for more information regarding compression.
SPOTS - RATING
Top rated spots are determined by the average rating from 1-5 with 5 being highest. (Top rated spots are not determined by number of hits or views.)
For instance, if 10 people view a spot and each rate it a "5" it would be rated higher than 20 people watching a spot and rating it a "2".
Rules for rating spots:
You must be a member and logged in to rate a spot.
A member cannot rate his own work.
A spot can only be rated once by each member.
