"Am not going to hurt you."

Freya observed the alien in front of her with curiosity more than anything. From the voice alone she recognised him, having known Az for quite some time now; and there were odd occasions when she’d gotten a familiar non-human vibe from him but she’d ignored it in favour of keeping up appearances. Guess she should have trusted her instincts.

She smiled at him, “I know you won’t,” she assured him, Kitty asleep against her side. Very carefully, Freya sat down at the water’s edge, shifting her daughter so she was curled up in her lap instead.

So, should we be posting reels instead of stills all the time on here? Here’s the thing our tiny business has been going since 2015, which means we have a LOT of photos of our decor from makeshift photoshoots, markets, fairs, listing pics, stuff we’ve tried out in the studio. If we post “stills” we pop up in the radar of about 1% of you (business insights - true story!) with reels it’s higher & gives us a chance to help grow by connecting with more people. We don’t always have time to film new reels AND we want to still be able to share photos of what we have actually created before Insta started trying so hard to be like TikTok…(umm, awkward?🤭) Videos are great and we love sharing them, but honestly we miss posting and seeing actual photographs (and sometimes need a wee breather from all the pointing/jumping/click bait reels on our home screen 😅). So for the 8 people who see this post here’s some wedding decor we put together for a fair a few years ago (and thank you for staying for this morning’s dissertation 🤣) #fridaythoughts #partydecoration #weddingdecorations #scottishwedding #bestdays #pasteldecor #origamidecor #tasselgarland #keepingitreel #paperstreetdolls #paperdecor #weddingdecorideas #bestdayeva (at Dennistoun) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgl3BxWKejA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Show Them You Can Act

Just Keeping It Reel

           A picture says a thousand words.  A crisp clean head shot is usually associated with entertainers.  The inclusion of a musical instrument with the photographed individual generally says this person can play that instrument.  A microphone indicates a singer, a comedian or maybe even a public speaker.  For actors, it’s a little vague.  The posed picture could be for commercials, movies, theatre, comedy, drama, etc.  It may say this actor has the look of the leading lady, best friend or even something in-between.  However, for all that is implied by this single captured image, it does not answer a very important question.  “Can this person act?”  The reel begins to answer this question.  When a picture says a thousand words, a thousand pictures make a statement.

           Because casting agents value their time, more audition breakdowns are requesting a reel, a small or short collection of scenes that highlight performance.  Not only does this give them a glance at potentials before they compete for roles, it saves time by dropping a lot of questionable players.  This is not to say that there aren’t talented people without reels, so much as it is to say that there are so many more untalented people without reels too. Reducing the question marks and increasing the statements mean more audition time for actors with reels.  

           Competition is fierce for desired roles.  A montage of work on video displays the ability to take on characters, interact in scenes and convince casting agents that you may be right for the role.  Those without it won’t even be in the room.  If a reel is requested but not available, there probably won’t be an invitation to audition. Most ambitious actors have already been eliminated because they simply don’t have a reel.

Even if a particular role doesn’t fit, a reel can leave a lasting impression. Since casting directors book so many roles and view a ton of head shots, it’s in their best interest to keep reel talent close.  With today’s technology, it’s just a few clicks away and can be passed to other projects with the ease of an email.  If it’s memorable enough, it won’t easily be forgotten when the right role becomes available.

If you’re serious about being an actor, showcasing your talent is a priority.  To the casting director, the convenience of video make your abilities available, easy to access and goes beyond competing with countless, standard head shots.  Show them you can act.  Your reel says you can.
