After we've discussed your needs - time / day / session length - I'll send over a booking confirmation over email which will have all the details about the session and what to expect, along with a map of the location and and info sheet with everything you need to know.
I always try to cater the sessions around you and how you like to work. Usually, after we've met, we'll talk about the scene(s) that you need to do and work out if there are any tricky sections such as movement, scene transitions, prop work etc. We'll then run through the scene(s) and do a line run before we start filming.
Cinematic, two-angle monologues or duologues to update your reel and send out to casting directors/agents. Our Studio Reel sessions are shot with three cameras, from three angles and cut together to create a cinematic and dynamic monologue. All Studio Reels are shot in 4K and the final edit will be with you within 48 after making your selection.
Surely, if they come 4K ready to add for an additional editing fee which will be discussed before work has started.
All standard sessions are 60 mins long.
A monologue or duologue (up to 90 seconds long) of your choice, as well as simple costume/styling for your character - no need to go overboard with costume; a nod towards the character is enough. Be prepared! Know your piece well and rehearse it so that we can focus on getting the best performance on the day.
A 60-minute session, shooting one reel scene is $150. If you would like to shoot an additional scene, the session time increases by 30 mins and an extra $50 is added to the overall total.
You can do as many takes as you need at your session. However, I always advise that you arrive as prepared as possible, so that we're not doing countless takes. That way we can focus on quality over quantity.
Certainly! I'm more than happy to provide suggestions and ideas to ensure you make the most out of your self-tape session. Drawing from my own experience as an actor, I enjoy delving into the text and uncovering any hidden nuances or subtleties that may enhance your performance. Together, we can explore different approaches and bring out the best in your performance.
All audio is captured with a separate mic, the Sennheiser Lavier Mic, and is synced with the video footage.
No, unfortunately not.
Any props you might want to use in your self tape must be provided by you.
I will be your reader! As an actor myself, I am confident reading in with actors and having done so for the past 8 years, I feel well-equipped to provide you with a good read off-camera.
Yes, of course. This is totally fine.
All tapes are colour corrected and graded for skin tone and lighting.
All payments are taken via card reader at the session. This also works with Apple and Google Pay. A digital receipt is emailed to you afterwards.
After our session, your finished reel will be sent over to you within 48 hours or less, once the final choice has been made by you.
Reels are usually sent in the .mov or .mp4 format. Or uploaded to you wetransfer.com if they are over 2GB to send in most cases.
Parking lot next door to building $15 but safe and secure. Is best to park in that lot for quick access to the building or down one block for $10 either way, no worries over tickets and rushing out to feed meter.
