Conventional methods of casting for acting or modelling involves numerous telephone communications, thumbing through numerous artists' files and couriering printed photographs to clients. This is neither cost effective nor time efficient. eCaster is a comprehensive on-line casting system which streamlines and automates this process utilising internet technology. Casting professionals utilise the system to submit breakdowns to agents for acting and modelling work.

Other line cleaning systems replicate the traditional manual process. This method of cleaning lines is inherently flawed because it is time-based. i.e. by cleaning the lines for a certain duration you are assuming that the lines are clean. Moreover, if the lines are not very contaminated you are wasting your valuable time and cleaning solution. Equally concerning, is the possibility that cleaning solution can remain the lines at the end of the cleaning cycle.

Yes. Alters may be taught to group themselves in different patterns at different times, or two or more groups of alters may be used to form different patterns. "Back-up" programs are common, and much redundancy is built in. Alters may be programmed to self-replicate, or may be created by other alters. Not all alters have names; some are numbered, some exist only as fragments.

Based on what I've read and from my discussions with Doctor Ponseti, the biggest factor in the difference between his casting method and what others implement stems from a profound understanding of the structure of the foot and how it can be manipulated to obtain correction. There is a certain way that the components of the foot need to be moved to obtain the correct positioning.

eCaster is not an employment, talent agency or casting professional. It provides the essential tools for you and your agent to effectively market and represent you. [back to top]

Security was a major factor when developing the eCaster system and we have implemented various measures to ensure that the system is as secure as technology will permit. These measures include password protection which must comprise of 8 to 16 characters and must include a combination of numbers and letters both in lower and upper case. All failed logins are monitored by the system to identify unauthorised use.

No more thumbing through different appointment books or artists files. eCaster maintains all this information in a format that is efficient and easy to use. Being a web based system means that you can effectively manage your agency from wherever an internet connection is available. Information retrieval is extremely fast, particularly when you need that information the most during negotiations with casting directors, producers, advertising agents and other clients.

Can the Emergency Response Center "listen-in " to my home anytime they want? I am concerned about my privacy.

Each client may want different features with their system. The AE107 is good basic "press the button and help will come" technology. The Linear Models have a built- in feature that allows the client to answer their phone by simply pressing the wireless pendant transmitter when the phone is ringing. This is nice to have if the client doesn't have a wireless phone in the house and getting to the phone is a constant struggle.

Yes, there are three basic types of gas cooling systems; absorption, engine-driven and desiccant. In Southern California, the most popular systems are double-effect absorption (either direct-fired or steam) and engine-driven gas cooling units. Absorption cooling systems are similar to vapor compression or mechanical systems in that they utilize a cycle of evaporation and condensation of a fluid or refrigerant to produce cooling.

Yes. The synergy network protocol is platform neutral so synergy doesn't care what operating systems are running on the server and clients.

Manufacturers often use the same types of tobacco in different sizes, producing different tastes. Often the consumer will perceive this as the same "blend". There is a difference however - it's in the proportions of each type of leaf used. An experienced roller may use different proportions of the tobaccos in different sizes to allow for that size differences. In a smaller ring cigar, the binder and wrapper have a greater influence on the taste, for instance.

Magic is broken down into six realms: Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Divine, and Mental. A magic user can have different amounts of spell points in each realm. You can also choose a power level when casting a spell. Chilling Touch at power level 1, for example, is just a mild pinprick. At power level 7, it packs a much more powerful punch.
