Location Shoot - FAQs

Q. How do I get a Location Shoot?

A. To schedule your shoot, please call (212) 290-0700.

Once we know your needs and general schedule, a director will call you to discuss scene selection, preparation, etc.

Q. What are your prices and payment options?

A. There is a one-time production fee which includes the shoot, editing with color/audio correction, digitizing and compressing for the web, DVD copy, uploading to your reelact website and unlimited hosting.

Production Fee: $685

Payment options:

Credit card.
Personal check. Please allow an additional week for check processing.

A full non-refundable payment is required in order to reserve the crew.

Q. Can I pay in person at the time of my appointment?

A. The biggest portion of your payment goes towards location and crew. Unfortunately, we cannot recover these costs once a reservation is made so we require a full, non-refundable payment in order to schedule a time.

Q. Can I choose an actor to shoot with?

A. Yes. In fact, shooting with a friend is a great way to cut your costs in half and get two demo reels for the price of one!

Q. How long before my video is ready?

A. It takes about a week to process your location shoot. When your new video is uploaded, you will receive an automatic email so you know your video is up. You will also receive a copy of your reel on a DVD.

If you have an urgent need, please request expedited processing and we will accommodate you at no additional charge (if possible).

Q. How do I publish the reel to my own website?

A. There is a $25/processing fee per video. To request a video for personal use, please email us the link to the video and the requested format such as quicktime, flash or windows media.

We will email you the converted video along with simple instructions on how to embed the video in your page (for iActor and similar services, you will simply need to upload the video using online video edit tool).
