FAQ'S ABOUT SHOWREELS

What is a showreel?

A showreel is your video portfolio. It’s a short video with a few clips demonstrating how well you can act and what characters you can play. It is an absolutely vital tool for anyone wanting to pursue acting as a career.

Do I need a showreel?

If you’re an actor with any serious ambition to do it professionally, then YES, you absolutely need a showreel. Your showreel is a way of showing what you can do and creating the perfect first impression. If you don’t have one, it will hold you back in your career and may prevent you from possible castings.

How long should a showreel last?

Showreels typically last 2 minutes or less.  

How often should I update my showreel?

As often as you need to. As your career progresses, you will get more footage of yourself and you can use this to update your current showreel. If you need help editing your showreel, get in touch as we can edit and colour grade any footage you may have. 

What if I want to update my showreel with new material at a later date?
We will archive all of your material once we have completed the editing process so that we can easily update your showreel at any point in the future. Updates to your showreel will be charged at £65 for a one off payment. This includes colour grading.
 

Should I include a montage in my showreel?
This entirely depends on your material. A montage is not necessarily right for everybody's reel but it can sometimes be a very useful way of transmitting a lot of visual information, in terms of how you look on camera/casting types in a short space of time.

Where do you meet with clients in the North West?
We meet with clients via Zoom for the consultation. The filming location can vary depending on where you live, we can shoot in a location of your choosing if it has free access. Indoor or outdoor, we simply ask for notice in advance of your preferred location. 

Will I get a rehearsal?

Rehearsals will take place on the day of filming, we will however contact you regarding your bespoke script for approval, we will read with you via Zoom to make sure you are happy.
