BDM 311 Casting Call.

Casting Call was held once more for our joint project and then also for our individual projects. Great to have a data base of people that might be suited for some acting, voice over, extras rolls. Even SIT productions showed an interest in the data base. I want to mention that also voice characters are been sourced not only actors. It went quit smoothly and that was down to one person Lana Black. Don't get me wrong there was a whole team on board to help out, myself included, but the basic foundations where managed my Lana. We had 3 rooms for people to audition and give the best of themselves. With a reader, Director and another observer. Saturday was steady but Sunday got of to a quit start except for the afternoon when a lot of younger kids came in. We had an issue with one of the rooms being taken over but Lana managed that problem in a professional way. My task was Director and I tried a mix of listening watching how confident the people were. Listening was mostly for the quality of their voice, animation probability. Improve was a bit harder as some people are quit nervous and they did not expect it to be this formal. Camera (Kim) and then 3 other people behind a table is quit intimidating I reckon. Me and Callum applied the technique that Duncan showed us but again improvising is not that easy for some people. With our ,joined, third year project in mind I tried to look for talented people in a certain age range. And with ideas fro my own short at the end of the year. A certain gentleman who used to live in England had a great voice. This got me dreaming on a certain voice-over or narration of the main character, beginning and end. But it was a good team effort and that goes towards what we will be doing in the next few weeks and month's.
