Your Film is Only as Strong as the Weakest Link
Hey everyone,
So last week we talked about creating more opportunities to work because when you do that, you’re going to grow, right? So now let’s talk about taking it to a whole new level. Let’s just say you are working with some friends, coworker professionals, or people you know in the industry, making a film. The number one mistake that early filmmakers make is in sound, in audio. So if you are going to invest time, effort, and even money to go out and shoot this, rent the gear, and do everything involved, make sure you don’t scrimp on audio.
The reason why I’m bringing it up is because you’re not just growing as an actor in front of a camera. Hopefully you’re going to get some good tape out of this to help you build up your demo reel and your marketability to people. There’s the old saying, “You’re only as strong as your weakest link.” Make sure that the picture quality is wonderful, that the audio is wonderful, that it’s lit wonderfully, and of course that the acting is wonderful. Any one of those elements not solid, either in your film or in your demo reel, will pull it down. It will make a bad impression instead of a positive one.
So join us next week. I’m going to talk more about demo reels. We’ve touched on this before, but let’s go a little more in-depth.
