Hello I’m Corey Turner here on ExpertVillage.com and today we’re talking about low budget
moving making. So people show up to your casting call, tell you what, have somebody up front,
have somebody meet them, have someone give them sides. What are sides? Lots of couple
pages of the script. Allow these people to sit down, let’s say in the lobby or wherever
they’re at and give them time to read through the script and memorize their lines. That
person who is up front writing their names down, getting their information, making sure
they have something to drink, giving them their sides, that person is your spy. You
want them to be there to tell you who you can work with, who you can’t work with,
who has too big of an ego and who is pleasant to be around. Because sure they have to be
talented but remember a low budget film, these people are going to be with you all the time.
And most of the time they’re probably going to have to help you carry in your equipment,
drinks and whatever else you need. So you want to make sure that you have people that
you can work with, it’s a long journey and if you have somebody that’s constantly needing
something, is hard to work with, your journey is going to be even that much more tougher
and you’ll spend so much more time on one person and the performances of the others
won’t get the attention they need from you. So be sure and have somebody kind of be that
judge for you when people come in.
