HOW THE SESSION WILL RUN
Once you arrive at our beautiful location, you'll be directed into your ACTORS GREEN ROOM where you can dump your bags and relax in whilst we finish setting up the space, tailored specifically for your scene - there's plenty of tea, coffee and biscuits to make you feel right at home. Whoever your Director is for the session, will have a chat with you regarding the script, probably have a few read-throughs of it and start the blocking process imminently - this means rehearsing the scene on our feet to solidify where both actors and crew can be placed and so you have a solidified idea how the scene will run and be rehearsed. Please don't worry if you don't have much on-screen experience; both Ryan & Hale are seasoned pro's behind and in front of the camera so will keep you right in regards of eyeline, size of shot (so you know your movement limitations) and any notes on performance in general.
​
What we do ask is that you remember you're booking us for a reason - to take care of the heavy duty technical stuff - so please try to refrain from getting too involved in any staging/direction or shot list decisions made by our team. All you need to do is character prep, learn your lines and show up on time - we will take care of the rest.
​
We will cover a range of shots and angles on each actor throughout the session so we have options in edit and although we try not to put a time limit on these sessions, it's unusual for a one minute scene to take over an hour/hour and a half to film - we will be on the ball and hope you will be too.
​
PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN COSTUME/PROPS - SUITED TO THE SCENE AND THE DIALOGUE WITHIN IT - EG: IF YOUR SCENE SAY'S YOU ARE PUTTING ON A TIE, PLEASE BRING A TIE. IF IT SAYS YOU'RE EATING A BAG OF CRISPS, PLEASE BRING CRISPS YOU WOULD EAT - WE DO NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES TO DO ANY COSTUME/PROPS BUT WE WILL DRESS YOUR SET WITH WHAT WE HAVE.
