Want to become famous? You may want to start doing background acting work.

WILLIAM REYNOLDS;


Want to become famous? You may want to start doing background acting work.

PERSONALLY I JUST GAVE A BRIEF LECTURE ON EXACTLY THE SAME THING...NOW THESE GUYS ARE SAG ELIGIBLE. MOST BEGIN THIS WAY. LIKE IT OR NOT.
Twice this week, background actors were upgraded to speaking roles. In fact, Casting Company just announced on Facebook that two background extras were upgraded to principal speaking roles today on the set of the Fox TV pilot Controversy.
“Big SHOUT OUT to two of our extras Matt Salter and Brandon Milligan who were both upgraded to speaking lines on the FOX “Untitled University Pilot” today!!!,” the casting company said on Facebook. “We are so proud of you guys! Congrats!!!”

JUST A QUOTE FROM A KNOWN ACTOR;


Ewan McGregor
“I fight cynicism. It`s too easy. It`s really boring. It`s much harder to be positive and see the wonder of everything. Cynicism is a bunch of people who aren`t as talented as other people, knocking them because they make them feel even more untalented.”

BRIEF ARTICLE FROM YET ANOTHER PERSON GOING TO LA.

IN MY OPINION:
WILLIAM REYNOLDS

BRIEF ARTICLE FROM YET ANOTHER PERSON GOING TO LA.

I read this not too long ago online. Three things that happen when you take your dream of being an actor to LA. However I couldn't print the first two for content, FROM OTHERS. First, 'judgemental" 2nd 'the competition" but this is number three.

If you make it past “acquaintance” and through the “competition” stage, the next conversation comes from – my favorite of the LA relationships – the Unwelcome Mentor. (we have those in Atlanta in abundance) They have probably lived in Los Angeles for at least one week longer than you have, and therefore know everything about everything. They’ve already given up on their dreams and they would be glad to advise you on how to do so for yourself. They will either tell you to do things that you are already doing, like “keep at it” or “don’t give up!”; or, they’ll tell you to do things that sound eerily like giving up, like “why don’t you just move back home for awhile?” or “why don’t you just become a bartender?” or “why don’t you just toss aside that cute little ‘acting’ hobby and commit yourself to climbing up the ladder at your soul-sucking day job?”

When people talk about liking everything about LA except the people, this is what they mean. Everyone is either shoving unwelcome advice down your throat, viewing you as competition, or judging you for thinking the way you think about your own life. And the worst part is that, on most occasions, it’s actually all three at once.

PRODUCTION COSTS FOR FILMING:


IN MY OPINION:
WILLIAM REYNOLDS:

PRODUCTION COSTS FOR FILMING:

Not too long ago I wrote a blog about how much it cost, for the final filming. editing, cutting etc of THE WALKING DEAD.
$23,000 per minute.
Let me update that 'a lot' for a feature film. The average cost for filming a feature Hollywood film is now in excess of
$100 million bucks. Then you've got to add the cost of Advertising and Printing of additional copies plus insurance etc.
That is yet another $100 million. So the average movie is about 2 hours, or 120 minutes. If you've got a big calculator
that goes up that far, Divide 200 million dollars by 120 minutes and you know what you get? What it cost per minute,
when this 200 million dollar film finally is released.$166,000 PER MINUTE. THAT IS CORRECT NOT A MISCALCULATION.
And you wonder why popcorn and a coke cost what, about $11 bucks or so. Most of the money you pay to get in the movie
goes to the producers of the film, a very small amout goes to the theatre owners.
Would you hire a beginner for anything in this film, so you can do a few do-overs?
I didn't think so.

ALL DRESSED UP AND NOTHING TO SHOW; ; MODELS AS ACTORS:



IN MY OPINION:
WILLIAM REYNOLDS:

ALL DRESSED UP AND NOTHING TO SHOW; ; MODELS AS ACTORS:

Models really don't act very well, or should I say 'can't act very well.
Just to name some..Hedi Klum, Erin Heatherton, Tyra Banks, Kate Upton, Marisa Miller and soooo many more.
So just why do they get acting gigs? DUH..They are all beautiful, and very well known already. It's certainly not because
they need the money.

WHY DO CELEBRITIES THINK WE CARE ABOUT THEIR POLITICAL VIEWS?

IN MY OPINION;
WILLIAM REYNOLDS;

WHY DO CELEBRITIES THINK WE CARE ABOUT THEIR POLITICAL VIEWS?

Celebrities? Because they like it when people talk about them. That’s what makes them celebrities. However, if you’re talking about ARTISTS, then they don’t really care whether you care about their opinions or not, they’re going to share them. That’s what artists DO. They look at the world, and they interpret it, and they give it back to you. That is their central job description.  Donald Trump, Ronald Reagan were celebrities, we listened to them as well.  Meryl Streep, can't seem to shut up.  Right? But they are going to talk, because that's what they do and they certainly have a BIG audience.

BECOMING SAG/AFTRA:

IN MY OPINION;
WILLIAM REYNOLDS;

BECOMING SAG/AFTRA:

 OK, you might think, because if I join SAG-AFTRA today, I'll land an agent bytomorrow and be booking jobs the day after.

  Sadly, it doesn't work that way. It's tough to get an agent and even harder to get booked on union jobs. If you don't have the chops and some good credits, the agent and the union jobs will be hard to come by -- even with that coveted card. And no, the union won't help you find representation or get work. It's just not one of the things it does.
  So, to build up those credits, extra work, collect vouchers, get qualified and you still may need to keep working nonunion jobs -- which you can't do once you've joined. Even SAG-AFTRA advises: "The time to join is when it makes sense for you. (Everyone's) situation is different." Don't get so impatient that you screw yourself out of opptys.
  Translation: Ask your acting teachers, friends, mentors, and coaches for advice. Then consider your options carefully.
  In some situations, though, you may have to join the union. If you work a union job and become SAG-AFTRA eligible, 30 days later you automatically become SAG-AFTRA Must-Pay. That means that before you work a second union job, you'll have to join. Producers are required to verify your status by checking with the union -- a process that SAG rather quaintly called Station 12. Must-Pay applies in California, New York, and many other states but not in "right to work states" such as Georgia,  North Carolina, Florida, Louisiana, Texas, and other, mostly Republican states.
Once you're in, you'll be part of a new union that is almost 80 years old and fights for wages, working conditions, residuals, and pension-and-health benefits for its members. Be proud of that SAG-AFTRA card -- you worked for it!

SMALL ACTING TIP. JUST DO IT.

IN MY OPINION:
WILLIAM REYNOLDS:

SMALL ACTING TIP. JUST DO IT.

Put yourself in the shoes of your character. You can not adequately represent a character unless you can get inside their head. Even though your words are scripted out, your actions and blocking aren't always written in stone. In addition, knowing your character well will help you improvise should someone forget their lines. Preparing for a role is the process of getting into your character's head, embodying them the best you can.
  • Method acting is when an actor refuses to break character on set. In between takes, they stay in the role, trying to fully inhabit the character so that they are always perfect when playing the role on camera.
  • Find the parts of the role that ring true for you. Have you felt the sorts of emotions your character is going through? Do you know a little bit about the struggle? Find ways to channel your emotions into your character's lines for the best results.

EVER WONDER WHY YOUR FAVORITE TV SHOW WAS CANCELLED?

IN MY OPINION;
WILLIAM REYNOLDS;

EVER WONDER WHY YOUR FAVORITE TV SHOW WAS CANCELLED?

$$$$$$ COSTS, THAT'S WHY!
Ironically, the longer a show runs and the more stable of a ratings draw it is, the more it becomes a target for cancellation, because long-running shows are more expensive to produce than newer ones. The longer a show stays on the air, the more contracts for all cast and crew members have to be renegotiated and re-signed, and various union laws require major pay raises for everyone involved. Sometimes, it's worth the production company and network's money—The Big Bang Theory, for example, has a main cast that earns $1 million per episode as it enters its tenth season—but that's the exception to the rule. Generally, the longer a show airs, their ratings decline—just like CSI: Miami. That means a network is paying more money for a show less people watch, and it's just not cost-effective.

SO WHAT CAN GO WRONG ON AN AUDITION:

IN MY OPINION:
WILLIAM REYNOLDS;

SO WHAT CAN GO WRONG ON AN AUDITION:

Actor, who tired out for a role and the director told me to cut my hair.
I got cocky and told the director, “No way would I cut my hair for a part,” because I had just spent $100 on getting “The Rachel” (hair style) done. Too bad, because he had written “call back” on my resume. I didn’t get called back.

WHAT ACTORS SHOULD AND.........

IN MY OPINION:
WILLIAM REYNOLDS:

WHAT ACTORS SHOULD AND.........

What Shouldn't Do

  • Don't do mailings.
    Actors like to print out hundreds of professional headshots and resumés, and then mail them out to every casting director, agent, and manager in town. Why? Because it makes them feel like they've done something for their career.
    But you know better. It's costly, ineffective, and a waste of your time. Better to work on getting a 'real' agent get auditions or at the least, be seen. DON'T pester the powers that be. Directors and producers won't cast you if you blow up their phone and inbox with messages. In fact, that's a great way to get black listed. "DON'T cast that guy, he's a stalker!" DON'T lie about your experience. Another great way to get black listed. "DON'T cast that guy, he's a lair!" DON'T alter your appearance. One of your best assets as an actor is your unique and individual look. DON'T change it based on what others might think. DON'T talk too much. It's better to keep quiet and listen to what's happening around you. One of our favorite quotes from ACADEMY AWARD WINNING ACTOR AND PRODUCER Robert Redford: "REALLY GREAT ACTORS DON'T HAVE TO TALK TOO MUCH'.

NOTES FROM THE RECENT BLACK HOLLYWOOD CONFERENCE;



IN MY OPINION:
WILLIAM REYNOLDS:

NOTES FROM THE RECENT BLACK HOLLYWOOD CONFERENCE;

Do you want to act, or just be famous?

Every actor faces setbacks and crises of confidence, but they must stay focused on their goals and persevere, most actors and panelists said.
“This is a business where you constantly have to prove yourself,” Henson told the packed house of more than 400 attendees. “Be clear what it is you want from this industry.”
In her work in casting, Sylvia Bernard (LA casting director) often sees actors for whom becoming famous is the goal, and acting is only a vehicle to achieve that objective. That lack of dedication to the craft comes across during auditions.“Ego is what I usually see coming through the door,” Bernard said. “I have a tenet I tell actors all the time: It’s either your job or it’s not.” She noted that actors with a more long term vision have an idea about the role for which they are trying, and give each audition their best effort. They may not get the part, but then  their talent is noted,  they may be rewarded with a different – and possibly better part – months, or even a few years, later.

THOR GOT HIS HAIR CUT OFF:

IN MY OPINION;
WILLIAM REYNOLDS;

THOR GOT HIS HAIR CUT OFF:

In the NEW Thor RAGNAROK, THOR got all of those locks cut off.
Some (most) hated it, this new look. My guess might be he got
another gig where he had to have shorter hair, and RAGNAROK
took it and ran with it. What do you think?

WORKING AS AN EXTRA ON A FILM

IN MY OPINION:
WILLIAM REYNOLDS;

LAST ONE I PROMISE...ABOUT WORKING AS AN EXTRA ON A FILM. THIS WAS REPRODUCED BY
A WRITER FROM 'HOLLYWOOD OF THE SOUTH' RECENTLY;

To make sure you have good experiences as an extra and put yourself in position for more work you want to consider these five “Do’s” and five “Don’ts” when on the job.
Do’s:
1. Be Respectful. The film industry is like any other business. You always want to be
extremely respectful towards anyone you that might be over you or is equal to you.
One thing to always keep in mind is that several of these feature films are million dollar
projects so they won’t hesitate to remove anyone they feel will impede the process. As
long as you listen to your assistant directors, the film’s head director if you ever met
them, and are polite with casting officials in the phone calls and emails you should be
fine.
2. Be kind. This sounds pretty elementary, but it seriously goes a long way. Sometimes your
fellow background artists aren’t always the kindest people to work with because they’ve
developed a competitive egotistical personality as they’re trying to get noticed as an actor
or an aspiring model. The hard truth is that these people are trying to launch the movie
don’t care about that. They just want the process to run as smooth as possible. If your
kindness is an asset to the movie making process people will remember you for that.
3. Follow instructions to a tee. The movie making process is tedious. Instructions to people
are usually given with great purpose. If someone has a hard time following instructions
it slows the process down. Don’t be the one that slows down the process. Always pay
attention and always bring the right items (especially clothes) that the casting office
instructs you to bring.
4. Show up early. Even though hanging out on a movie set all day can be fun, you’re there
to do a job so treat it like a job. Plus, you often get rewarded with better scene placement
or opportunities to bump up your pay if you show up early.
5. Be prepared. It is best if you show up to work camera ready. Do your own hair, makeup,
and wardrobe. If they need to change you they will, but try to save them some time. Also,
take care of bringing your identification and your paperwork so the payroll lines at the
end of the day aren’t so bad.
Don’ts
1. Don’t recite your resume. It’s understandable to want to talk about other projects you
may have done because it’s what you have in common with everyone. That really is fine,
but don’t go out of your way to impress anyone. Chances are, anyone you work with can
or has done anything up to your level of “experience” and doesn’t really care about it.
You don’t want to be seen as annoyingly arrogant. Be smart about your conversations,
and try to establish some real friendships with the people you work with.
2. Don’t try to “improv”. Assistant directors try to get you where you need and be and
lead directors are paid big money to make the film. It’s highly doubtful that your last
minute decisions to insert your “personality” into a scene will make the movie a success.
Chances are, this is not your big break and you will be edited out of the film. You’ll also
probably not be considered for many other projects.
3. Don’t hoard the snacks. Film productions usually have a “craft services” department that
provides snacks and other refreshments for you and anyone working on the scene. Don’t
lose your mind just because it’s free and start hoarding the snacks and trying to take them
home. It’s a good way to not get invited back to shoots.
4. Don’t disturb the stars. Seriously, if your project has big time Hollywood stars on set,
don’t disturb them. They are people, after all, and they are at work. No one wants to be
harassed at work. However, there are some stars that have really kind personalities and
they will make an effort to have conversation with you. In that event, be smart, talk to
them like you would anyone else. We’re all just human anyway.
5. Don’t ask multiple obnoxious questions. Like noted before, these projects are big money
operations. People in charge usually give clear precise instructions. Just pay attention intently and everything will be understood.

FIRST OFF YOU HAD BETTER HAVE SOME GOOD SOLID TRAINING AS AN ACTOR.



IN MY OPINION;
WILLIAM REYNOLDS;

MORE ABOUT BEING AN EXTRA;

FIRST OFF YOU HAD BETTER HAVE SOME GOOD SOLID TRAINING AS AN ACTOR.
Carolyne Barry, on-camera and commercial teacher
Unless you are working to get your SAG-AFTRA vouchers or want experience being on a set and/or need the money you make doing extra work, I have reasons (regarding undermining confidence and getting bad industry information) as to why actors do, or do not benefit from working as background a ton of times . And I really don’t believe it is a good way to get noticed by agents and casting directors in major or minor markets. Agents don’t come to working sets very often and if they do their focus is on the clients and not on the background players.
Casting directors hardly ever come to the shoot and if they do, it is to connect and socialize with their directors, producers, the name talent and/or actors they may know. I have never heard of anyone working as an extra getting noticed by an agent or CD and helping them get acting work, though I HAVE heard about extras being noticed by a director or assistant director and being UPGRADED and sometimes requesting them for other work—and that’s because they spend time directing the extras and experience their talent, professionalism,and  ability to take direction. Be cordial and respectful to the director and assistant director when doing background work.

HOW TO I GET INTO THE SCREEN ACTORS GUILD (SAG) ??

IN MY OPINION;
WILLIAM REYNOLDS:

HOW TO I GET INTO THE SCREEN ACTORS GUILD (SAG) ??

This can be a complicated undertaking and I can promise you, that you will get a ton of answers, ranging from it's easy to next to impossible.
But here I will simplify the process somewhat.
There are three ways to qualify for SAG membership.
1 - Get hired as a principal (NINE TIMES OUT OF TEN THIS IS A SPEAKING ROLE)l performer in a SAG signatory show. Performers may join SAG upon proof of employment. Employment must be in a principal or speaking role in a SAG film, videotape, television program or commercial. Proof of such employment may be in the form of a signed contract, or original pay stubs. (least likely way in). Georgia is a non-union state and some beginners think that you can just go audition. No, you cannot, if the film is Union as most are. They have signed contracts with the Union, which basically means you have to be SAG/AFTRA now. You possibly can get an UPGRADE from being an extra and sign some TAFT-HARLEY papers. Obviously you MUST BE THERE,,,,AND THAT MEANS BEING AN EXTRA....SO MANY BEGINNERS THAT YOU MAY RUN INTO ON A MOVIE SET OR SOMEWHERE.MAY  SAY.'DON''T PLAY EXTRAS, REALLY? LISTEN TO THEM AND YOU WILL STILL BE ASKING THE SAME QUESTIONS 5 YRS FROM NOW.
2 - Performers may join SAG if the applicant is a paid-up member of an affiliated performers' union (AFTRA, AEA, AGVA, AGMA or ACTRA) LOOK EM UP) for a period of at least one year AND has worked at least once as a principal performer in that union's jurisdiction. (If you are a member of one of these unions then you are probably not reading this).  and lastly ( 3 ) - To get hired as a SAG extra for three days. (this is the most likely way to get in) AND NOT JUST ANY EXTRA, BUT A FEATURED EXTRA,,,AND YOU HAD BETTER SAVE YOUR VOUCHERS.

SO, HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO PRODUCE A MOVIE??

IN MY OPINION:
WILLIAM REYNOLDS:

SO, HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO PRODUCE A MOVIE??

Including ADR, (Automatic dialogue replacement) reshoots, special effects, CGI (computer generated imagery), special shots needing to take place (the protagonists gains or loses a great deal of weight, certain seasons or events are depicted,etc) and the normal delays due to financing, illness or unforeseen problems: 12-18 months. And many, many times years. It normally will take 2-3 months to film a movie + maybe 6 months to edit so much footage.
Some films are shot much faster and the discerning viewer will note this when they watch them as the continuity mistakes are rife and footage is often reused. Some major productions which have “built-in” sequels (The Hunger Games series, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, etc) are shoot simultaneously with scenes from one film being shot will those from another are filmed elsewhere.

HOLLYWOOD OF THE SOUTH

IN MY OPINION;
WILLIAM REYNOLDS;

HOLLYWOOD OF THE SOUTH;

Georgia is quickly taking over the TV and film industry. Here are the 42 movies and TV shows filming in Georgia this March.

Georgia has quickly became the “Hollywood of the South”. In little less than a decade, more movies and TV shows are filming in the Peach state than most places around the world. In fact, a recent study has put Georgia as the third largest film industry in the world only behind the United Kingdom. And with the recent BREXIT issues, expect Georgia’s film industry to only grow and possibly become the number #1 filmmaking location in the world.
In 2007 the Georgia Film, Music and Digital Entertainment office reported an economic impact of $241 million for all of the film and TV productions in Georgia. In 2015, the same office reported an economic impact of $7 billion. That is one huge bump.

PLIGHT OF REFUGEES

IN MY OPINION:
WILLIAM REYNOLDS:

COMING SOON:  DOCUMENTARY "PLIGHT OF REFUGES'
HAS GREAT REVIEWS. SOME TIME IN 2017; AGREE OR
NOT SO MUCH? SHOULD STRIKE A CORD SOMEWHERE.

A first-hand account of the perilous journey made by a group of Syrian refugees. Traversing land and sea on an old fishing boat manned by smugglers, the nail-biting journey leads to Europe where the refugees disperse. Each must battle to stay sane and create an identity among the maze of regulations and refugee hostels. The Crossing shows us the lengths to which people go to find safety and forge their own destiny. YOU CAN FIND THE TRAILER ONLINE IF INTERESTED. I AM.

A FEW FUN FACTS ABOUT THE CITY WE ALL CALL HOME:

IN MY OPINION;
WILLIAM REYNOLDS:

A FEW FUN FACTS ABOUT THE CITY WE ALL CALL HOME:

In addition to being the number two or three city in the country for film/tv production.
ATLANTA...is often referred to as 'THE CITY IN THE FOREST', due to it's abundance of trees. Very unusual for a big metro area.
 The fastest baseball game in history happened in Atlanta, when the Mobile Sea Gulls beat the Atlanta Crackers 2-1 in just 32 minutes.
 Atlanta also played host to the greatest rout in football history—a 1916 contest in which Georgia Tech blew out tiny Cumberland College 222-0. When pro football moved to Atlanta, the owners considered over 500 names. A schoolteacher came up with the Falcons nickname, a bird she endorsed because it was “proud and dignified, with great courage and fight.” Why did Atlanta resident Margaret Mitchell write Gone with the Wind? Because an ankle injury kept her from walking and she was really, really bored. FOR OVER 30 YEARS 'GONE WITH THE WIND' WAS THE LARGEST GROSSING FILM IN HISTORY." ABOUT THE SOUTH IN THE CIVIL WAR... GREAT FILM INDEED.

GOOD AUDITION,.BAD AUDITION;


IN MY OPINION:
WILLIAM REYNOLDS:

GOOD AUDITION,.BAD AUDITION;

Let it go. If you’re sure your audition was a stinker, don’t beat yourself up. We all have good days and bad. If you have a solid track record, it’s unlikely to affect your future prospects. Even if it was your first audition for a particular casting director and you really bombed it, they may not even remember a few months down the road. ( Most working actors I can rarely recall auditions from one week to the next—good or bad. There’s not enough brain space to retain that much data over time.) GET OVER IT DON'T FIX SOMETHING THAT ISN'T BROKEN.

WINNERS VS LOSERS: JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS;



IN MY OPINION;
WILLIAM REYNOLDS;
WINNERS VS LOSERS: JUST A COUPLE OF THINGS;

  • Losers hangout with losers.  Winners hangout with winners who are more successful than they are.
  • Losers follow other people’s definitions of success.  Winners define their own success.
  • Losers escape fears.  Winners face fears. They study, they practice.
  • Losers don't take advice from those that failed the audition but those that got the part.
  • Losers see the unknown as a risk.  Winners see constant familiarity as a risk.

MARKETING 'YOURSELF' AS AN ACTOR;

IN MY OPINION;
WILLIAM REYNOLDS;

MARKETING 'YOURSELF' AS AN ACTOR;
Use your positive attitude and friendliness to meet as many people as you can. Network, and don't be afraid of other actors. Try to find open calls and opportunities to put yourself on tape on your own if you can. Create your own work, and use the internet to distribute it. Get a reel done showing what you can do...a scene with another (real actor) also a monologue. Make sure your agent gets this, or ask for their help in creating this.
AND DON'T SPEND A LOT OF MONEY ON SOME AMATUEURISH LOOKING REEL TO SHOW YOUR PROFESSIONALISM. THAT'S A KILLER IN DISGUISE.
