What To Expect
Our studio is open Monday through Friday from 8am to 4pm; Saturdays from 8am to 12pm; with limited availability on Sunday mornings from 7am to 9am. *Availability may vary based on our casting schedule.*
Simply click on the links below to schedule an available time to come to our studio and tape! We ask that you bring hard copies of your scripts and any instructions given to you by Casting/Agency- You’re also welcome to forward those materials to us beforehand, but it’s not required.
When filming, we are happy to review takes with you via our playback monitor, but that time will be counted towards the session.
Setup for lighting, framing and audio are not counted in the session time.
After the session, we will process, edit, and label the best takes per your Casting Director/Agency instructions and email them to you, and any other email addresses you list, via WeTransfer. Delivery turnaround is typically under 12 hours, but can be expedited with notice.
If you prefer to edit the files yourself, we are happy to email the raw session files to you upon request.
We can also Airdrop raw files to Mac platforms, or upload raw files to SSD or Memory Card should you provide one on the day.
Our standard File Format for Delivery is MOV and/or MP4; We can also produce video in other formats upon request.
Note: The files we send are typically reduced to a shareable file size (up to 200MB) in 1080iHD resolution, but upon request can be sent in the original 4K resolution which will result in larger file sizes (over :30sec ~500MB to upwards of 5GB per minute). If bringing a Memory Card or SSD to upload raw files from a session, please be certain that the storage space for your device will allot for file size.
**C&J Casting is a Casting COMPANY and our availability is limited- We recommend checking our calendar and booking an available sessioN.
