You will find that Contacts contains many useful names and addresses. We would suggest contacting some companies listed under 'Extras & Walk On Agents', perhaps sending a CV and a covering letter. The website www.hiddenextra.com also takes a realistic look at extra work. There is an Equity committee which represents Walk-on and Supporting Artists. These artists feature in a searchable Spotlight web directory of Extras and Walk-Ons. For more information please contact Equity on 020 7379 6000.

A There is a need in the industry for all types of people and characters. You will have to be available to drop everything and take the work when it is offered and be well disciplined enough to get up at very early hours to be on location by 6 am or sometimes earlier! Some acting experience can certainly be an advantage. The DTI does however permit genuine agencies to charge a modest fee to appear on their website or for model cards. top i) Those run by top agencies such as Storm.

Placement opportunities exist for almost any product and brands, including furniture, tabletop settings, fine wines, packaged goods, cosmetics, beverages, computers, automobiles, electronics, signage, restaurants, retail stores, fashion houses, and even people & locations. MPP has a money back guarantee policy. If a product does not end up in the finished production you are not charged.

That varies widely depending on the kind of show or film using your music. Money is earned in two ways: the licensing fee, paid up front to the writer/artist, and the performance royalty, which is distributed to the writer by a performing rights organization ( ASCAP, BMI, or SESAC in the U.S.). No performance royalties are generated on theatrical showings of films in the U.S.A. (though they are paid in other countries), but when the film is aired on TV, you would make your performance money.

This obviously depends on the artist and the situation but we would love to work with you. Be as detailed as possible and e-mail to info@gigrecords.com with tv/film in your subject line.

The studios do not actually make films. We supply facilities for film makers to do so. Therefore, we generally have no involvement in production staff, including runners. Please contact productions directly via post (see FAQ above). The television studios occasionally require runners for television productions that use the studios, but this is on a part time basis. If you are interested, please send a covering letter, stating your availability with a C.V to tvrunners@pinewoodgroup.com.

A - You will be introduced to acting training for the stage. The skills you learn for the stage are transferable to the screen.

Yes. We have special rate packages for background instrumental usage of our music in program material.

Answer: When films, TV shows, commercials or music videos are made, the directors regularly need people to fill up the background of of the set during shots and scenes. This makes the scenes look real. They therefore need to hire people to do this job. So they hire regular, everyday people like you and me for these shots and pay them!

Antenna will be provided and in good reception areas local Spanish channels are received. In poor reception areas, the set can be used for video usage only. All properties contain an iron, ironing board, electric kettle and toaster. Most have washing machines. If in any doubt, please check with us before you depart regarding the equipment in your chosen property. When a property is equipped with air conditioning, this will be mentioned in the details.

In the TV ending Shinji chose to stay with Complementation - it isn't even clear that Shinji had a choice at all. He is treated as little more than an example of the process of Complementation - which consisted if breaking down Shinji's link to reality.

Two one-hour episodes by the Episcopal Radio-TV Foundation of Atlanta and the Children's Television Workshop (creators of Sesame Street and The Electric Company), animated by Bill Melendez. Note that when the film was shown in the UK in 1980, the sound-track was re-recorded with a cast of British actors including Arthur Lowe (Mr. Beaver), June Whitfield (Mrs. Beaver), Leo McKern (the Professor), and Steven Thorn (Aslan).

Coverage ranges from major producers such as Michael Balcon and David Puttnam, through directors such as Joseph Losey, Carol Reed and Derek Jarman, documentary film-makers such as Humphrey Jennings, Derek Armstrong and Michael Orrom, to sound editors such as Teddy Darvas. There is also material relating to cinema projectionists and film sales reps, not forgetting TV figures such as Troy Kennedy Martin, Irene Shubik and John Selwyn Gilbert.

Absolutely! You're on camera with other talented actors in a high-quality production. Acting is acting. When someone does an independent film and takes it to film festivals, that's legitimate isn't it? Well, it hasn't been seen on TV or in a movie theater either, but you and your agent would still be happy if you did it wouldn't you? And how many friends do you know who have done student films just to be disappointed by shoddy production or projects that were never finished properly.

I have tried to obtain a video / dvd from shops, but it's not available, and I know that the website has one, as it's been mentioned in posts on the message board before.

far as the UK is concerned register is maintained by the Videolog organisation, the Videolog database of all video tapes in print. You can view it on the Moviemail site at http://www.moviem.co.uk It's notable that around 20 per cent of all the titles in print in the UK are deleted each year, meaning that every month some 1,000 titles change status. Moviemail offers to obtain any British video tape in print; their phone number is 01432-262910, e-mail: enquiries (at) moviem.co.

Crichlow Actors' Studio (CASt) has been operating since 2000. Before establishing the studio, Brenda Crichlow founded the Shoreline Actors' Studio.

Unless you are speaking about a non-profit Internet Radio/TV (e.g. Nectarine or Demoscene TV) you cannot use any of the audio material for professional broadcasting companies. If you absolutely want to use some then all you should do is contact the author(s) and ask if you could buy the using rights from them. If you propose them a fair price then it shouldn't be a problem.

No. Your film will run at the exact speed the camera shot it. Our projection system is shutterless and uses the computer to capture each frame from the film. This eliminates the need to speed up the rate in order to synchronize with TV.

Sorry, I do not have the time nor, in some cases, the needed equipment to make duplicates. My suggestion is to try eBay for the cheapest prices on Strathairn memoribilia. Also, be sure to check the Media section for rare Strathairn works and appearances. Most are already avaliable in their enitirety for download.

No, you don't. Stage work is not the high water mark for whether you will book in film, TV or voiceover. There are scores of successful stars and starlets in Hollywood that can back me up on that. Does it help? Absolutely, because it allows you to use your imagination, develop a character, tell a story and establish a viewpoint other than your own. All of these attributes are vital to performing in any medium.

We will consider such works under one condition: if the story doesn't take place at least one hundred years prior to the current year submitted, then any public figures portrayed in the book must be deceased. We call this the "James Ellroy Rule." Ellroy is known for his crime novels, which have featured public figures as characters. To date he does not fictionalize anyone living.

The New Zealand Stunt Guild is up and running. The Stunt Council considers applications for membership twice yearly in January and June. People interested in becoming probationary stunt people should send their CV with details of relevant skills and qualifications to: The Stunt Guild of New Zealand, PO Box 19036, Courtenay Place, Wellington. Do not send originals as material will not be returned.

There is no legal requirement for a stunt person to have qualifications. Realistically, no reputable producer or director will hire untested, new stunt talent - so the best way to try and break into the business is to work your way up from the bottom. The major hurdle is getting a Screen Actors Guild (SAG) union card to be allowed to work on film/TV productions (except for non union ones which can be dodgy). Competition is fierce. The American Stunt Page has some information.

with the U.K. and New Zealand a stunt person has to gain a recognized qualification in several different fields e.g. driving, martial arts, sky-diving, etc. More specific information can be found at the Australian Stunt Page .
