How much does a Talent Reel cost?
Our base price for a master DVD, from start to finish, is $250. That's less than the cost of professional headshots and it's much more valuable and interactive! For additional services and rates, CLICK HERE.

What do I get?
You get a BUNDLE!

First, we consult with you about the look and feel of your Talent Reel.

Next, we digitize your best screen performances from your source materials (such as videotapes, DVDs, CDs, etc)

Then, we spend a day or two editing your footage into a stunning DVD demonstration of your best performances. Think of it as a movie trailer made just about YOU!

Your Talent Reel can include all of these additional options at no extra cost:
Headshot (or a slide show if desired), voice introduction, resume information, and your footage (obviously),

Finally, we provide you with a custom burned DVD. You can take your new Talent Reel around town or get it duplicated wherever you like. (You heard right, there are no royalty attachments on our work!) We also provide several low-cost services, such as duplication and custom sleeve design, should you want to put more icing on the cake.

What's the turnaround time?
Less than a week! In fact, you can probably get your reel within about three days depending on our current workload. When's the last time your "editor friend" gave you THAT kind of turnaround?

How long is a Talent Reel?
Experience with producers, directors, and casting directors has shown us that 1-4 minutes is ideal. The shorter it is, the more impactful it is. We recommend 2 to 2.5 minutes.

What form of payment can I use?
You can pay via check, money order, cash, or PayPal.
Paying with PayPal is fast and easy and allows you to pay with a standard bank card. You can click here to setup a free personal account with PayPal, if you haven't already...

What kinds of footage can you accept?
We try to accept everything, regardless of format and regardless of content.

Current popular footage formats are not a problem. These include:
Mini-DV (DV or HDV), VHS, DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, Video-CD, Audio CD, Windows Media, Apple Media (AIFF), Quicktime Media, and Audio File Formats (such as MP3).

If you have footage on some other format (ie VHS-C, BETA-SP, DVCPRO, etc), we are still able to digitize it at a fabulous data-rate. Just bring in your playing device (commonly a camcorder) to our office in Burbank and we will digitize your footage on the spot while you wait and play with the cats.

What kinds of content can you accept?
Whatever you have. Movie footage, DV, HD, commercials, theatre recordings, slates, voice-over audio... anything goes. Heck, bring is your porn if you like, we won't discriminate (as long as it's good).

Do you have a demo online?
Yes, click to the demo page here.

Do you stream talent reels from your site?
We are in the process of implementing this feature in the future. It is not avail at this time. This feature may be made available on a subscription basis.
