TECHNICAL SELF-TAPE INSTRUCTIONS

RECORDING DEVICE / FRAMING:
  • You can record your self-taped audition on a cell phone camera.
  • Your phone or camera should record in the landscape / horizontal position.    

LIGHTING / AUDIO:
  • Record your audition in a well-lit area. Soft and/or natural light is preferred.
  • Your light source should come from behind the camera, not from behind you, otherwise we will only see your silhouette. 

LOCATION:
  • Record in an uncluttered area where we can see you clearly. Ideally against a neutral backdrop. You can film outdoors if you have good lighting and it is quiet. 
  • Avoid loud or noisy areas (i.e. fans, street noise, etc.). ​

WARDROBE:
  • Wear what you would wear to take your family to the park. ​

VIDEO 1 OF 2: SLATE

Frame yourself / your family in camera so you can be seen from the waist up.
Each family member should into the camera and answer the following question. You can film each family member individually or as a group.
1. What is your full name? 
2. How tall are you? 
3. Who is your talent agent? (If applicable)
4. (Kids Only) How old are you?
5. (Parents Only) Briefly tell us about a camping trip or recent adventure and a good memory associated with that trip. 


VIDEO 2 OF 2: FAMILY SCENE​

Please film your family scene all together. Frame yourself up so we can see you from head to toe. 
Show us TWO versions of the below scene. 
Scene:
Your family is fishing at the lake. Show us a few moments of what this looks like for you. One of you catches a fish! Reel it in and pose for a picture.
​

PHOTOS

Be prepared to include some photos along with your audition. They do not need to be taken specifically for this project, as long as they represent your current look (haircut, hair color, facial hair, etc.) 

1. Headshot - This does not have to be a professional headshot photo. Any recent, nice quality photo. No hats, sunglasses, or filters

2. Full Body Photos - 1-2 recent photos showing your current body type. 

3. General - Feel free to also include any additional photos that you think casting would be interested in. For example - family photos
