12 Tips You Should Be Using for Your Headshots

0

As an actor you need to have two things in order to make it into the entertainment industry, a headshot, and a resume.

We previously discussed what your resume should look like but, what should your headshot look like?

A headshot is a photo that realistically demonstrates a person’s appearance for casting. Many headshots are used for actors, models, and even authors.

It is the first step to getting an audition. Casting directors immediately determine whether or not you are able to fill audition a role based upon your headshot.

To help you figure out if you are on the right track  here are 12 things that make a good headshot.

12 Tips to a Great Headshot!

  1. Your headshot should look like you, don’t try to hide things that you find undesirable, you may have something that people want.
  2. Headshots should be updated every 5 years minimum or after a major physical change (weight loss/ gain, hair changes, etc)
  3. Your headshot needs to capture attention and tell us something about you. Make sure you consider what qualities you are looking to show off.
  4. Look natural, these are not a fashion shoot.
  5. Keep it simple.
  6. Your headshot should be geared towards the kind of work you want to get Film/ theatre/ commercial/ industrial.
  7. No logos or slogans
  8. Nothing garish
  9. No black, white, or noisy patterns
  10. Relax
  11. Always 8X10 prints
  12. Color is the current acceptable, professional standard

Share with us your headshot in the comments below and let others know what you do/did in order to take the perfect headshot.

Here are the 10 Most Expensive Movies Ever Made

Some of the biggest movies in Hollywood are often times the most expensive. While it is true that some smaller budget movies do make a lot of money, often times the most successful movies are the costliest. It is interesting to note that many of the most successful movies ever made cost over $200 million dollars to make.

But, not all expensive movies are major hits. One of the most expensive movies ever made was ‘Water World‘ starring Kevin Costner. The movie did horribly in the box office.

According to IMDB and Box Office Mojo, here are the 10, adjusting for inflation, most expensive movies ever made.

10. “The Hobbit” (2012): $250 million

North Korea Hates Seth Rogen’s New Movie ‘The Interview’

0

James Franco and Seth Rogen’s new movie ‘The Interview’ is hated by North Korea.

Kim Jong-Un the current leader in North Korea, is not amused by Seth Rogen and James Franco in their new movie, “The Interview.” However, the North Korean dictator said that he will still probably watch the movie.

The Columbia Pictures feature film centers on James Franco as a late-night talk show host who scores an interview of a lifetime with Kim Jong-Un (Randall Park). But, the CIA decides to turn the host and his producer, Seth Rogen, into assassins.

“A film about the assassination of a foreign leader mirrors what the U.S. has done in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Ukraine,” said Kim Myong-chol, the executive director of The Centre for North Korea-U.S. Peace, in an interview with The London Telegraph.

Kim Myong-chol is an unoffical spokesperson for North Korea, despite living in Japan added words of caution for current U.S. leadership.  “Let us not forget who killed [President John F.] Kennedy – Americans,” he said. “In fact, President Obama should be careful in case the U.S. military wants to kill him as well.” He continued, “it shows the desperation of the U.S. government and American society.”

North Korean state media has described “The Interview” as “dirty and cursed,” according to the Telegraph.

Seth Rogen, co-wrote, co-directed, and co-produced the comedy. He later tweeted about the interview, saying:

The Interview” hits theater on October 2nd.

‘We Play Dead’ Acting Auditions Casting Call for TWO Lead Roles

0

The feature film ‘We Play Dead’ is currently holding online video auditions for two main roles in the upcoming movie.

The We Play Dead is holding online video auditions in the United States and Canada for the movie. Filming is set to begin in the fall of 2014 in Ontario, Canada from September to October.

Casting directors are looking for Caucasian actors in their late teens to very early 20’s. The actors must look young enough to play 17 years old.

No experience is required but, this is a complex and artistically demanding lead role.

We Play Dead” will be produced by Susan Cavan and Robi Levi. Josh Levy will direct the feature film alongside Steve McCay.

The movie centers on two best friends Curtis and Bernie. The two best friends decide to create a prank to fake their own deaths only to stumble into the home of a serial killer. As they run for their lives Curtis and Bernie transform into teenagers into men. But along the way they no longer become friends. “Think Stand By Me meets Rivers Edge.”

Here’s the casting call break down:

CURTIS

Soulful, steady, the rock of his group. Not at all “pretty”, but a very handsome kid in an unselfconscious, working class way (Think River Phoenix in Stand By Me or Brad Renfro in The Client — but older obviously).

Curtis is tough, but just; he’s never mean, cruel or unfair. Boys like him; girls love him. A boy on the cusp of becoming a man. He’s intelligent, but street smart rather than book smart. Curtis gets by on his charm and likeability. Curtis has an unusually perceptive sense of people. He is sensitive to those around him, and good at managing personalities — even difficult personalities like that of his best friend Bernie. Still, there is the sense that no matter how naturally grounded Curtis might be, Bernie always threatens to pull him into trouble. Curtis is loyal, often to a fault when it comes to Bernie.

Curtis has had a working class upbringing, raised by a caring but ineffectual mom and a dad who is often away working in another town. Instead of siblings he had Bernie…..

BERNIE

Bernie is not handsome necessarily, but you can’t take your eyes off him. He’s like a magic trick. Fascinating, ugly/beautiful, hypnotic and magnetic and upsetting.

Bernie is unpredictable, a wild card, like a loaded gun in the hands of an idiot. You’re never sure what he might do from moment to moment, and it’s worrying. There’s just something “off” about him. Bernie is wild-eyed. He reacts emotionally to everything, without thinking. He is prone to violence and often a victim of his own rage and self-hatred – though he does not understand these things. He is grandiose, a fantasist, and sees himself at the center of events. But he’s also FUN. His fierceness and fearlessness are his best and also worst qualities. Style-wise, Bernie is a Skater with a Hip Hop edge.

Bernie grew up in a troubled home, the child of raging alcoholics. His father took off one day and never came back. His older brother Dale became the man of the house. In his teens Dale was the king, the cool star of every party, but in recent years Dale has succumbed to alcoholism and drug addiction. Bernie worshipped Dale, emulated Dale among his own friends, and still loves Dale in spite of his problems.

Bernie’s only real family is his lifelong friend Curtis. Curtis acts as Bernie’s tether to this world. Without Curtis, Bernie would be lost, or in jail or an institution, or maybe dead. Bernie senses that the world is conspiring to tear Curtis away from him, and soon. So Bernie is trying to hold on to Curtis even more tightly….. This is aggravating for Curtis because he still loves her and Bernie is treating her poorly. For his part, Bernie’s interest in Robin is mostly about Curtis……
