SLATE / INTRODUCTION VIDEO:

​Frame yourself in camera so you can be seen from head to toe or as close as possible if your space limits your framing. 
Look directly into the camera and answer the below questions.
1. What is your full name? 
2. Where are you located? 
3. Are you represented by a talent agent? If so, who? 
4. Tell us more about your experience canoeing and swimming. 
5. If you are also submitting for the role of trail-running dad, please tell us about your running and trail running experience. 
​
After you answer all questions smile with your teeth and then show us your side profiles. 

SCENES:

FRAMING: ​Frame yourself in camera so you can be seen from the wasit up and show us the below scene.  FACE THE CAMERA NOT SIDEWAYS
​You are sitting in a canoe looking out to a beautiful setting, you feel calm (subtle). You look over at your significant other (just slightly off camera) and give them a look, you’ve found the place you two have always wanted to visit together (subtle). After a few moments it slowly starts to rain. You hear a horn (signal from your friends) and turn your head quickly to look back to your car. You playfully giggle in the canoe as the rain really starts to comedown.

You do not ACTUALLY need to be in a canoe, you can be in a chair. 

Feel free to show us 2 versions of the above scene.
