Question 1

Can I bring my own actors?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, I actually recommend it if you know someone who would be a good fit for your scene. This way, you act with someone you're already comfortable with. And you can even share the cost of the scene if you decide to! 
 
Alternatively, I can provide actors at a cost of £35 per actor. This is to cover the actor's expenses as well as the time I spend looking for a suitable scene partner.

Question 2

Can you provide locations?

Accepted Answer

I do not provide indoor locations at this time, but I am happy to facilitate an outdoor shoot if needed.

Be aware that shooting outdoors can create a few complications: weather, background noise, inconsistent lighting, etc...
 
If you are providing an indoor location: 
Make sure that we can have control of the lights on the day, so that we can turn on/off the lights depending on the needs of the scene. 
If we are shooting in a place that usually plays music (bar/gym/etc), we also need to be able to turn off the music on the day.

Question 3

Do you provide costumes and props?

Accepted Answer

I do not, you have to source costumes and props yourself.

Question 4

Can I shoot my scenes on different days?

Accepted Answer

If you book a package, you have to shoot all those scenes in one day. If for example you want to have three scenes filmed, but want them over the course of two days, you'll have to book a Two Scene Package as well as a One Scene Package.

Question 5

How long does it take to film a scene?

Accepted Answer

I like to plan for 3-4 hours per scene. It might not actually take that long, but it assures that we have time to film the very best scene that we can.

Question 6

What equipment do you use?

Accepted Answer

I shoot all the scenes with the Black Magic Pyxis 6K, Meike S35 and DZO Cine Lenses, and professional RØDE audio equipment. I bring lighting equipment to all the indoor shoots. I also own a few vintage lenses that can be used if we want to give your scene a different look. All editing and colour grading is done using Da Vinci Resolve Studio 20.

Question 7

How big is the crew on set?

Accepted Answer

For the standard packages, I shoot everything on my own in order to keep the showreels affordable.

Question 8

When will I receive my showreel?

Accepted Answer

I'll try to get you your showreel as soon as possible, but it might take up to 21 days.

Question 9

Can I get the raw footage?

Accepted Answer

I do not provide any raw footage. The edit that I send is what I consider to be the best version of the scene, and takes are chosen depending on performance of course, but also technical elements such as sound, lighting, and continuity.

Question 10

If you write a scene for me, how many rewrites do I get?

Accepted Answer

If you have some notes when I first send you a script, I'm happy to redraft the scene for you once.

Question 11

When do I pay?

Accepted Answer

I ask for half the payment when you make the booking, in order to secure your date. The other half must be paid before I send any video files to you.

Question 12

Where can you shoot?

Accepted Answer

I am based in London, and am happy to travel anywhere within the city. If you want to shoot outside of London, that is fine, but I will ask for you to cover travel expenses as well as accommodations if I need to spend the night away.

Question 13

Can I reschedule/cancel my shoot?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can reschedule your shoot. If you need to reschedule, get in touch at least 7 days before the shoot date and we'll find a new date that works for both of us. If you want to reschedule less than 7 days before the shoot, I'll have to ask for a £100 rescheduling fee to secure another date.
 
You can cancel your shoot, but you will lose your deposit ☹️
