Since its inception in 1999, “IMJ-Online” has become synonymous with “international modeling success”  by helping aspiring and established models alike to make their presence known on the global stage. 

 

But increasingly IMJ-Online is being used by industry professionals in the video, and film world to find new actors and actresses from nearly every region on the planet.  These new faces and new talents are in  high demand as directors seek to inject new excitement and an exotic edge into their productions.   Notably, there has been a flurry of recent booking activity at IMJ-Online focused on capturing the talent bursting out of India and Pakistan. 

 

Why so much interest and excitement in this region?  Christina George, Chief IMJ-Online Editor says, “As global recognition of the high-quality talent currently doing fantastic cutting-edge work in India -- but also in Pakistan --  increases, so does interest in bringing this exciting new talent to productions in other regions of the world.  In , the old adage that ‘success breeds success’ is oh-so-true.”

 

Christine continues, “Actors and actresses with roots and industry experience in India and Pakistan are simply hot commodities these days, not only in Hollywood and New York, but also in some of the other hot film and TV production areas such as Chicago and Texas, Brisbane and Madrid.” 

 

International Models Journal (IMJ-Online) is a global networking medium between models, actors, scouts, directors, agents and industry professionals alike (referred to bookers on IMJ-Online). Launched in 1999, IMJ-Online publishes vital news about industry information, calls and member stories, guiding hopefuls and professionals around the world to further their careers.

 

Bookers who seek a broad spectrum of new models and talent, may register at IMJ-Online for free, receiving access to a large database of unique and exotic faces, bios and portfolios. Registered bookers may publish announcements, casting calls and to find the right persons through IMJ-Online.

 

Registered models and actors may create a portfolio and bio displaying past experiences using photos and text.  The portfolio entries may include runway , promotional events, pageants, photo shoots, magazine features/covers, stage entrances and still shots from TV or movie appearances. Bios serve as a complete insight on the model or actor, highlighting their personality including a list of facts like birth, education, work, awards, achievements, dreams, desires, goals and aspirations.

 

Francisco Vandery, who seeks talent from India for film productions in the eastern United States tells us:  “I regularly – very regularly – consult IMJ-Online because, quite frankly, I don’t have the time to sift through hundreds of poorly-done portfolios when looking for talent to audition for my productions.  I know that when an actor or actress has been accepted by IMJ-Online, I will quickly get a quality description of their experience and talents.  And it’s a site that is very easy to use.  The way the site is set up, I don’t feel that I may be missing some perfect fit for my jobs just because the person is ‘filed’ wrong or that their portfolio is of distractingly poor quality.”

 

Booker reliance on IMJ quality and professionalism is one of the keys to the modeling-acting network’s success.  Every photo submitted to IMJ-Online is checked by a photo editor.  “We only accept about 65-70% of the photos that aspiring models and actors send us.  I feel that we owe it to the models and actors who register with us to make sure that they present themselves professionally and seriously.   A bad-quality photo of a very attractive person is still a bad quality photo,” says the pragmatic photo editor Susan Birch.

 

English editors also work with IMJ-Online clients to edit biographical and portfolio entries to ensure that a professional international standard is achieved and maintained.  

 

 “Our mind set concerns quality over quantity. We run a professional site, only working with those who are serious about pursuing a career in the model and acting business,” said Miss.  George.

The race to book new talent is tight, but so is the contest to be noticed by industry professionals.  IMJ-Online is helping the supply of talent reach the demand not only for exciting new faces but also for riveting, exotic-yet-familiar on-screen talent.

Reality Tv Casting Call

18 May 2009 by

reality tv casting call

Do you want to “be discovered” and achieve fame and fortune in a hurry? If you’re looking to get famous, you might want to think about . You may only achieve fifteen minutes of fame, but you could also possibly become a huge star from TV.

When applying for a reality TV , keep the following tips in mind:

• The Directions - The most important tip is to actually read the reality TV show application directions and follow them. Directions are included for a reason. If a reality TV show application requests a one-minute audition video and a one-page written bio, send exactly that… not a five-minute video minus the bio. The ability to follow directions is a quality that may help get you cast on a show. Remember…reality TV are still TV . Production schedules apply and people who don’t follow directions can put a show behind. Also, don’t keep contacting a director to ask if decisions have been made. If they want to cast you in a show, they’ll .

• The Written Application – Be detailed… no one word answers. Give examples and explain your answers to the questions, but don’t be long-winded, making a two-page application into twenty pages. If you have any interesting hobbies or skills,include them on your application to help you stand out from the rest. Don’t lie on your application! Be honest about everything from your job to your weight.

• The Photographs – Many reality TV shows ask for photographs as part of the application. Ideally, send a close-up photograph of your face and another one of your entire body. Don’t send “professional” photographs. Clear, simple snapshots from a regular camera are best. Make sure your personality shines through and that you are the only one in the picture. Don’t send photographs you want returned, because they won’t be.

• The Audition Video – Another way in which casting directors explore talent is through audition videos. Most reality TV shows ask potential cast members to send in an audition video. Stay within time constraints and get to the point fast. Casting directors want to see you on an audition video, not special effects or fancy graphics. The most important aspect is your personality. Casting directors look for personality first, so make sure it shows. Simple is best for audition videos. Shoot a clip at your job, at your home, and doing something interesting and unusual, like a hobby. Make sure the lighting is flattering, not dark or shadowy, and that the casting directors can tell what you really look like from the video. Consider having a friend or family member film your video instead of setting up your camera to record yourself. That way, the camera will always follow you and your cameraperson can zoom in or out to create visual interest. Make sure you are clearly heard and that there isn’t a lot of background noise. Don’t forget to put your contact information on your audition video in case it is separated from your written application.

• The Open Casting Call – Many reality TV shows cast through open calls. If this is the case for your target show, be ready because you have mere seconds to impress a casting director at a reality TV show audition. Remember, your personality is the key to being cast, so sparkle at the audition. Figure out your “type” before your audition in case the casting director asks. For example, are you the hot muscle guy or the sweet funny guy? Dress in your “type” for the audition. If you think you are the hot muscle guy, then look like the hot muscle guy at the audition.

The best place to start applying to be on a reality TV show is on the website of the network airing the show. Network websites usually have a casting link where you can apply. If you don’t find a casting link for your favorite show, just contact the network through their website contact form for information on applying. There are many networks and production companies that produce reality TV shows, the following are a good place to start:

http://www.abc.com

http://www.nbc.com

http://www.cbs.com

http://www.fox.com

http://www.mtv.com

http://www.vh1.com

http://www.tlc.com

http://www.hgtv.com

Hollywood North Entertainment is a sort of reality TV show agency that promises they can get anyone on a reality TV show. Consider filling out the application on their website at www.hollywoodnorthentertainment.com.

If you want fame… and possibly fortune… fast, reality TV shows may be just the ticket for you. Reality TV provides a fun adventure and might help make your dream of stardom a reality.

Nbc Casting Calls

14 May 2009 by

nbc casting calls

I rarely give new a fleeting chance. I'm ridiculously guilty of waiting until a has an acclaimed season under its belt before I turn my attention towards it. "The Office," "24," and "Family Guy" each had to pass the test for the viewing public before I truly sank my teeth into the enjoyment I've had with all three of those .

That's not to say I haven't attempted to embrace a fresh series or two in the past. I sat through every episode of Seth McFarlane's quickly canceled "The Winner" on FOX just because I was pulling for it to become my new favorite gut-buster. But alas, it was not to be.

This year though, I decided to give 's newest comedy "Community" a try. , for all the jokes about its occasionally floundering line-up, still packs a major punch in the comedy department, and "Community" is no exception.

Joel McHale, of E!'s "The Soup," shows up as the cocky, endearing, and quick-talking Jeff Winger, a lawyer who cheated on everything in his life (including getting a fake bachelor's degree) and now is thrust into the world of Greendale Community College, where he must succeed or face life-long exile from the bar association.

The cast, which is full to the brim with fresh and emerging faces (with the distinct exception of comedy legend Chevy Chase), serves to bring not only a culturally diverse face to the program, but a comedic one as well. The writers have developed an early knack for mixing the cast amongst each other for new dynamic one-on-one relationships every show so far, which makes for some very fresh comedic exchanges. As with any great show, every character is completely believable, even in their most absurd moments.

As to the plot of the show, this would seem to be the first time any major production seems to have taken on community college as its primary setting. I have heard some early rumblings from across the media-scape that some community colleges are taking umbrage to the notion that a show would poke fun at their atmosphere, but I ask, "why not?"

Community college is one of the most unique amalgamations of unique individuals from all walks of life with completely varying intentions. Sounds like a goldmine for comedy to me! And thus far, it is.

In all seriousness, the only reaction I've had to this show's impact on my notions of  community college is a desire to actually go to one! In its own hilarious way, "Community" opens up my mind to the notion that community college doesn't have to be about dull classrooms or socially-void experiences. It can actually be an awesome way to enjoy your world, the people in it, and yes maybe even get an education.

"Community" has served up a handsome array of laughs in front of my television, and if you'd give it a half-hour at 8 p.m. on Thursday nights, you may hear yourself deliver a few of those laughs.

Here is an excerpt from the new Cast Prototyping and PCPro Technique webpage:

“Researchers have developed a new rapid-prototyping technique that blends traditional methods with CNC milling which allows faster prototyping; the best thing is that it happens in a single machine. The technique is christened as “Precise Cast Prototyping” or PCPro and was developed by researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute For Material and Beam Technology, Dresden, Germany. Half of the mold is machine using CNC machining, then silicon or polyurethane material is poured into fill half the mold, this will be the lower half to render the shape of one half of the part, while the part still in the CNC mill. When the material is cured and hardened, the upper side of the component is milled. The process is targeted at components with simple geometry such as housings whose one side can be fairly easily machined on aluminum or epoxy mold half and the other complicated half is on the opposite side where it can be milled into the soft plastic. “
