Tips

No matter how long your scene is. Edit a full version of the scene first. You can use this full version in Social Media Marketing. It is also just a nice thing to do and gives respect to the scene that you wrote and was performed.

Remember: 60 seconds or under! / NO MORE THAN THAT! / The reason we say this is for a few reasons.... / A. Actor’s Access charges per minute of upload and it is only necessary to pay the one minute fee for a clip / B. Casting Directors have an average attention span of 42 seconds. And that is IF they are liking what they are seeing. You have to grab them in the first 15 seconds. / C. When compiling clips to a reel you will only want less than 30 seconds per clip. So get used to trimming.
