Dear Creative, Work For Hire Agreements. I can not over stress the importance of having valid work for hire agreement when you contract anyone to contribute to a creative work. If you are a film producer, music producer, record label, game developer or even software development company as long as you have contracted people to create something for you, it is of great importance that you have a work for hire agreement in place. A work for hire agreement allows you to transfer the proceeds and results of the contributor to you the employer and ensures that you own the copyright to the work. (Bear in mind that only a written agreement can validly transfer ownership in IP work.) On the other hand if you are a contributor, insist on having a work for hire agreement as it is proof that there was a business relationship between the parties and amongst other terms and conditions of service, it also provides for your consideration and credit. #creative business, #film business, #music business, #Technology law, #Intellectual Property.

https://lnkd.in/gVNQBxAb How to Hire a Voice Actor [A Complete Guide] Filming a documentary, but don’t have anyone for the voiceover? Or maybe you want to turn your novel into an audiobook? Hiring the perfect voice actor for the role is harder than it sounds. For live-action performances, the actor’s screen presence is critical. However, in audio, you’re looking for the right tone, tenor, and style. That could be an adult actor who can transform their voice into a child. Or a serious, authoritative voice for a crime documentary. Whatever your project, if you’ve never hired a voice actor before, it’s hard to know where to start. Where do you find voice actors? What questions should you ask them? And how do you decide which voice actor to hire? READ MORE: https://lnkd.in/gVNQBxAb

📽 I loved this experience and learned a lot from working with a professional team. With these tips, you can make great interview videos using just one camera. Happy filming! 🎬 🎞 1. Angle: Position the camera at eye level with the interviewee. This creates a natural and comfortable view for the audience. 2. Distance: Place the camera at a distance that allows for a medium shot (from the waist up) or a close-up shot (head and shoulders). Ensure there's some space above the interviewee’s head in the frame. 3. Stability: Use a tripod to keep the camera steady. Avoid handheld shots as they can be shaky and distracting. #camera #interview #filming #camerawoman #editing

American actors, are you struggling to nail the Standard English Accent for those coveted roles? Mimicking the accent won't do the trick. To truly master the British RP accent, you need to understand its cultural meaning. Here are some tips to help you get started: - Research the cultural context: delve into the historical, social, and cultural background associated with the RP accent. This will give you a better understanding of the accent and how to use it effectively in your performance. - Incorporate cultural references: use references to literature, history, art, or institutions that are associated with the character. This will help you establish cultural authenticity and enrich your performance. - Consider social dynamics: think about how social dynamics and relationships influence speech patterns and interactions. Adapt your performance to reflect these dynamics and add depth to your portrayal. - Pay attention to non-verbal cues: body language, gestures, and facial expressions can convey cultural nuances and subtleties that complement your RP accent. Use these cues to reflect your character's cultural background and social status. - Approach your performance with authenticity and sensitivity: avoid stereotypes or caricatures, and strive to portray your character with depth and nuance. Be mindful of cultural differences and show respect in your portrayal.

Why should I hire a voice actor instead of just having an existing employee or radio jock read my ad copy? Well, why did you hire your best employee? My guess is, you hired them because you had a specific job that needed done, and that person appeared to be the best equipped to fill that position. You might have agonized over that choice for fear of making the wrong one. And you should have. So, why would you want the voice of your company... the tone-setter for how your company is viewed and the personality/brand it will establish, to be someone who is not highly trained in performing that job? You CAN let anyone voice your ads. You can even do it yourself. But isn't this tremendously public role important enough to hire the best? A voice actor who has spent much time and money learning how to make your ad stand out from the rest? "But the television advertising rep said... the radio sales person said... my peer said they were told..." Consider that everyone involved in selling you advertising would love to be a one stop shop and offer a product as cheaply as possible, so that penny pinching part of your brain yells "GO FOR IT!" Don't leave your vital sales message in the hands of someone who "can" do it. Hire someone who will bring that copy to life and help create a relationship with your potential customers. Hire someone who turns your simple ad into a branding opportunity. I'd love to be that person for you. Feel free to message me here, or visit chrismcginnisvo.com But if I'm not the voice you hear that can best represent you and your company, there are 1000 voice actors out there who would love to do it, and would do it at a reasonable price. Don't let someone talk you out of it to make an extra buck.

Q7.) What is A-Roll and B-Roll? In film and video production, A-Roll and B-Roll are terms used to describe different types of footage: A-Roll Primary footage: This is the main video content, often including interviews, main action, or primary events. Focus: It tells the story directly and is typically what you see most prominently in the final edit. Usage: Common in news broadcasts, documentaries, and interviews where the primary narrative is being conveyed. B-Roll Supplementary footage: This is additional footage that is used to support the A-Roll. It helps provide context, cover cuts, and add visual interest. Usage: B-Roll can include shots of the environment, close-ups of relevant objects, and any footage that enhances the story being told by the A-Roll. Purpose: It’s often used to provide visual breaks, illustrate what’s being discussed in the A-Roll, and make the final product more dynamic and engaging. Example in Use Interview (A-Roll): The interviewee speaks directly to the camera. Contextual Shots (B-Roll): Clips of the interviewee working, the location where the interview is taking place, or relevant objects related to the interview topic. A-Roll and B-Roll are essential in creating a well-rounded, visually appealing, and engaging final video product.

I was (screenwriter, director and producer) in my last (3 film projects). Here’s the role I loved the least. Let me start with the (one I loved the most). Screenwriter. Making (something out of “nothing”), creating characters, worlds, moments, why wouldn’t you love writing? (I have spent over a decade) honing my skill as a writer so it’s understandable I love it so much. Director. Bringing the written word to life is a huge challenge, a challenge a director can’t run from. But bringing a whole team of cast and crew to turn those words into images is fun (on most days). Producer. I consider this a necessary evil for my current budget production. It’s a lot of charts, schedules, budget problems. While I’d rather just do the “creative” parts, it takes more than just inspiration and “magic” to make a movie. You need the grit, the attentiveness and analytical mind of the producer. I have started preproduction for my next film and … here we go again. P.S. What’s your least favorite role in filmmaking?

Do you know how to use that microphone? Did you buy the right microphone? Did you buy the rest of the gear needed to have a professional studio? Do you have an acoustically treated space? Do you have the acting skills, experience and education needed to fulfill the needs of voiceover clients? Do you know the expectations of voiceover clients? Are you able to be competitive when auditioning side by side with voice actors who have been doing this much longer than you? Do you know how to properly audition for work? Do you have a professionally produced voiceover demo? Do you have a brand, website, social strategy, and resume? Do you know what to charge for your voiceover services and how to price yourself both fairly and competitively? If you answer no to any of these questions...you are not ready to start working as a voiceover actor.
