Cars *beep beep*

We often get asked what type of car someone should buy to help them get booked on car calls more. Here's our 2 cents...

Colors: As it is with wardrobe, RED, WHITE and BLACK are usually out of the running (although there is the rare exception.) There is an overabundance of SILVER, so most of those spots get filled up quickly. GREEN, BLUE, MAROON, RUST, GOLD, CHARCOAL/STEEL GREY, and any non-bright off colors are all good choices.

Type: Most of the car requests come in for either normal sedan/compact calls (ie: city/commuter cars) or luxury car calls. The normal car calls are usually looking for very nondescript (ND) cars to be in traffic or parked. Luxury cars should be no older than about 6-7 years old to usually be considered.

With all cars, just because the body style doesn't change for a few years when the car was being sold, DOES NOT mean you should change the year of your vehicle to benefit your submissions and files.

Condition: Cars that have less damage tend to get booked more. With that said, most little dents are not noticeable, but anything maybe larger than maybe a baseball should be noted (use your best judgment.) Cars should be safe to drive on the road, legal, and be mechanically sound. Occasionally we get asked for 'quiet cars' but usually casting is just interested in booking very new cars and hybrids because of their lack of engine noise.

Exceptions: Beater's (vehicles in really bad shape cosmetically, but still run fine), Trucks, SUV's, Vans (mini and regular), Normal Cars in Crazy Colors, and Classic Cars all have calls, but less often.

On a related note: If you are a bad driver or have fears of driving on set, please let us know and we will not submit you for car calls.

Plastic Surgery

I usually don't post on the weekends, but I am 'on call' so... I guess I'm sort of working.

I started reading an article in the NY Times about Plastic Surgery and castings response to it in our entertainment world. I got a few paragraphs down and saw that Sande Alessi was interviewed. I looked up at the picture for the article, oh! and it was her too.

Click here to link to the NY times article.

What it says about too much plastic surgery is true. It's always best to be yourself (ok...maybe a well dressed, cleaned up, and professional version... but yourself nonetheless!)
