About reels, footage, formats and conventions

Our reels are concise & straight-to-business to grab and hold the attention of casting. Scenes are tightly edited to focus on you, with dovetailed & optimized audio for a polished presentation (see case-studies below). Repair, enhancement, adapting raw footage and internet capture are available. Content, pacing, encoding & delivery are always current to casting needs; consultation included.

*Footage should be as high-resolution as possible, in original aspect ratio & file type

Coaching & "Pre-Directing" (scene prep for shoot or class)

Scene-study classes usually demand preparation-with-partner outside of class. THIS IS INSANE!   In real life, rehearsal is DIRECTED; partners cannot direct one another. We will attend, observe & review ("pre-direct") scene essentials with zero value-judgement, using concise, trusted guideposts. One-on-one coaching is similarly efficient, ensuring solid footing while pursuing precision & ease.

Audition taping, V.O.s, reading, editing, encoding & upload

Blue background, natural lighting, establishment of scene-specific camera eyelines, "beats" & structure. Chroma-key ("bluescreen") static or motion backgrounds optional. High-quality VOICE-OVER recording and editing also available. Note: being prepared & off-book saves money!
