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 & evolving to casting needs.
*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 attend, observe & review ("pre-direct") scene essentials using concise, trusted guideposts. One-on-one coaching is available, providing a template for solid footing, precision & ease.
Audition taping, V.O.s, reading, editing, encoding & upload
Neutral background, natural lighting, establishment of camera eyelines, "beats" & structure. Chroma-key static or motion backgrounds optional. High-quality VOICE-OVER recording and editing also available. Observation: actors really need to be off-book more often. Sheesh.
Editing Reel
We work primarily (fastest) in Vegas but are proficient in DaVinci Resolve, Premiere, After-Effects and Mocha. Titling, transitions, basic FX, color grading, sound polish & sync. Output to any format from iPhone to 4K AVID.
