We offer a fantastic, friendly service individually tailored
to your needs that incorporates care, precision and
intelligent editing with unbelievable value for money.
If it is well produced a showreel can be a really powerful
marketing tool. We cannot stress enough how essential it is
that they are well presented, professionally edited and
normally between 2 to 4 minutes long. We have successfully
edited hundreds of showreels and have very close links with
the business. We have strong relationships with agents and
casting directors, we talk to them regularly and understand
what they want. We have edited for TV & film regulars, for
jobbing actors & for those just starting out. We have had
requests for 500 duplicates in 24 hours, for showreels to
be streamed to casting directors the same day, for reels to be edited
in other languages and even had
people booking from Europe and flying over to edit with us.
We are a small company that puts you at the centre of its
operation, nothing fazes us, whatever your requirements are
we can help.

HOW WE WORK
We work from virtually all
formats and then digitally construct clear,
professional showreels that sell you at your best.
We would always encourage clients to be present
throughout the edit so that we can ensure you end up
with the product you want. We offer a consultation
to discuss any requirements you might have, whether
it be incorporating a montage, what music to use or
what scenes sell you at your best.

BEFORE YOU ARRIVE
The most important aspect before you arrive is that you
organise your footage as best you can. Remember
Spotlight allow a maximum of 5 mins although very often
agents and casting directors want less than that. I
would suggest between 2 and 4 mins. Go through your
footage beforehand, note the clips you definitely want
to use (a note of time codes will save even more time)
and then see how much footage you have. You will be
surprised how quickly 2-4 mins goes. Remember to bring
music too if you want to use your own - this often works
best. Alternatively we can provide music that has been
custom written for us. For more info see
MUSIC.
If you could email a high resolution version of your
photo and/or any artwork/designs that you use on other
products (letterhead, business cards, websites etc. then
we can tie in the designs with your showreel artwork
before you arrive.
ON THE DAY
Apart from in exceptional circumstances all showreels
are completed on the day, usually within a three hour
editing session, and you will leave with a copy of your
new reel. There is not a set formula to an editing
session - every client brings different footage,
different challenges - so on the day, once we have
watched your footage and selected the parts we want to
work on together, we will construct a format that best
suits you.
After we have edited your
reel we will finalise the DVD artwork, decide how many
duplicates you may want and provide you with the various
options for streaming your reel to the web - whether
that be providing you with a showreel webpage, uploading
to Spotlight, Casting call Pro or CastNet or any other
sites that you want your showreel to appear on.
At the end of the session
you are welcome to pay by cash, cheque or bank transfer.
For an additional
charge of £1.50 we accept payment using credit or debit
cards (Mastercard,
Visa, Delta, Electron, American Express, Switch,
Maestro, Solo) and PayPal. You will be provided with a
receipt/invoice. Tea, coffee and water will be available
on the day however feel free to bring sandwiches/fruit
etc if you fancy it! If you have any questions at all
before you arrive simply call or email and we will
answer your questions as best we can. Click
