How it works
The entire process
The consult
We talk about the characters and genres you see yourself booking, then pick a shoot date that gives you the prep time you want.
Script, location, date
Choose from hundreds of original scenes and monologues in the LA Reels Script Book, or have the team write you an original. Pick a location from the guide or bring your own.
Pre production
Scene breakdown, schedule, casting your scene partner, props and wardrobe ideas. A call sheet lands 24 to 48 hours before the shoot.
The shoot
Crew and scene partner arrive at call time. Arrive hair and makeup ready. Most scenes shoot in 45 to 60 minutes.
Choose your takes
Within 1 to 3 business days you get a scene sync of every take. Pick your performances by timecode and confirm.
Edit, audio, color
Editing, then mastering: music composition, dialogue cleanup and color correction. This is the polish that separates a reel from a home video.
Delivery
Final scenes delivered digitally in HD and SD. Two scenes or more also get a cut highlight reel.
Sample scenes
Pick a genre
Dev build shows six per category. The full library on the live site is 72 dramatic, 67 comedy, 40 intense and 17 kids scenes; all of them carry over.
Kids and teens
Reels for young actors
A demo reel gets your young actor to the front of the casting line and into more auditions. We build the schedule around school and free time, and because of the work hour limits for youth we split multi scene shoots across dates at no extra charge.
