Wanna be sure your tools *and* your mindset are in peak form? Let us get you in gear with some FREE training right now!īonnie Gillespie is living her dreams by helping others figure out how to live theirs. Check in with your choices often enough to know when they need re-choosing. That’s actually applicable to many actor-choices in this industry. Do what works for you and adjust when you feel that first choice is no longer working. And to try and make choices that please everyone is simply crazymaking. There is no way to ever predict what each and every recipient of your headshot is going to prefer. If you’d prefer to save the money and have something that may, someday, cross the desk of someone who feels you should’ve spent a little more on your headshots, that’s the chance you take. Heck, you can even get gorgeous glossy lithos these days for much less than true photo prints, yet they look really good. Make a choice that feels good to you, even if that means spending more money for higher-quality printouts than others may be spending on lithos. An agent or manager may find the presentation more important, but even then, you have to trust that they really have seen everything by now. Getting called in - at least by a casting director - has very little to do with the quality of paper on which you print your headshots. You’ve already read, in my previous columns, about submissions that are simply photocopies of headshots or even faxed images. Of course, in the end, it’s up to you what image you want to present. Therefore, you could technically afford to do a smaller print job at a higher quality (since you’re now not likely to get thousands of headshots done up at a time) and still not break the bank, due to how infrequently you’ll run out of hard copies of headshots these days. Actors are printing fewer headshots at a time now and placing higher priority on the clickability of their online thumbnail photos (they have to look so good at a tiny format that people want to click to see more).

And then I would say that submissions to casting directors could be lithos, Repros, or even prints you made at home with consumer photo paper and a good color ink jet printer.īut honestly, if you are working in Los Angeles, you simply are not going to go through the volume of hard copy 8x10s you may have a few years ago. Extra options: Use samplerInfo Node Facing Ratio output in Subsurface weight to add realism by changing the weight by angle. In Geometry, check Thin Walled for the SSS to be rendered as Translucency (Paper Shader). There was a time when I would advise that your submissions to agents and managers be on high-quality photographic paper, as if to present a near-complete marketing package that they would feel inspired to become a part of. To create a Translucent shader with Arnold: Subsurface Weight must be higher than 0.0 for the effect to be computed. With so much casting being done online now, the type of paper on which your headshot is printed is becoming less and less relevant. What is your opinion on the use of paper digital prints (8x10s) as opposed to real photographic prints?
