Making It - Ep4 - Film Casting & How to Hold an Audition

[@StudioBinder]

Share your casting/table read experience was it good, bad, or ugly? Let us know below 😊✌🏻

[@DanielSimler]

Do You prepare some type of contracts for the Cast once they are secured for the table read? Thanks.

[@DANAMIONLINE]

I have yet to do one. I look forward to my next production to experience this.

[@dallasdandigitalproduction393]

Ive been casting a short in Dallas last 3 weeks. It has been challengimg. Im a student filmmaker and no budget. All i can offer is food on set, screen credit and piece for a reel. Most folks dont want it if no money. And the few actors i do have, i gotta schedule shooting days around their schedules and locations.It almost makes me wanna quit this business.

[@videoservicesja]

still taking scripts?

[@ThePlaceForThings]

this series has made me so damn excited to film one of my scripts. cannot wait to embrace the process.

[@LarryLease]

I still need to finish one

[@blainemarcano]

Me too!

[@scratchgd5604]

for anyone that doesnt know, the voice actor for the news anchor now does the voiceover for most newer studiobinder videos. this was agreat choice from studiobinder in my opinion

[@girishmahapure9003]

"Making it" series is really helpful and I love to watch it

[@rayhr1]

Studio Binder you don't know how much I love your channel and the information you give us, you're pure gold. Thank you!

[@StudioBinder]

Thank you so much, Ray! Your support and people like you are what helps fuel our content! 😊✌🏻🎬

[@pattabiramanmuthu9235]

06:55 I have finally seen the man behind all the incredible voice over for all studio binder "What is". 😍

[@Sketchygaijin]

This whole process seems so exciting and stressful, I absolutely can't wait!!

[@ShadowManV3]

I am really loving this series, its really nice seeing how its all coming together. Hopefully the end product is worth it.

[@bleachhurricane1603]

these should be longer!!! loving getting to see all the behind the scenes!

[@MurielJackson-k7y]

This series is so awesome and helpful for filmmakers out there. I really enjoy the series and learn so much from it.

[@PompeySomerstown]

We didn't have a table read but it's good to see that we conformed to all the other tips in the video when casting the feature film you can watch on our channel and the one currently in production! DEFINITELY record your auditions! I'd completely forgotten how good one lady was on the day and without looking back at them all I would probably have missed out on picking someone who made the character so much better than originally envisioned in the script.... Good to see you chose a couple from self-tapes that ended up at the table read. I'm always wary of them because if someone can't make the effort to get to auditions will they go out of their way for the actual shoot?

[@StudioBinder]

Thanks so much for your sharing your experience! Your last point is a very valid concern; that's why it's really important to be just as vigilant when watching the self-tapes as you were in the in-person auditions.

[@PompeySomerstown]

@@StudioBinder Looks like you made great choices from both options. Definitely looking forward to seeing how your project goes from here!

[@lorid847]

best episode so far

[@ZiCell]

Amazing material. Beginners can learn so much from these. Myself included. Thank you!

[@fprunkov]

I love how he always takes the camera instead of just cutting the shot haha

[@RobertoCortesePhotographer]

man I can't wait to see how this series will end! and then season 2! :)

[@gabrielidusogie9189]

Once again, Studiobinder proves to be a helpful resource for aspiring filmmakers

[@jsagy7179]

These are just getting better with each video.

[@mehdihmedi6117]

please next episode it's one of the best tutorial series

[@jaymerete5346]

6:48 finally got to see the awesome narrator of studio binder

[@michaelwilliams949]

Damn! I probably won’t make a proper acting film for some years but this was bangin‼️ got me nerdy and pumped up 😃

[@patrickmtunguja3201]

You opened my eyes to see the bigger pictures. I was stuck.

[@JohnLuna]

I'm here for the equipment prep and production ☺. But it's been an entertaining series overall

[@StudioBinder]

Thanks for watching and your support! 😊✌🏻🎬

[@hollym1700]

Love it!!! The show is amazing, and the information, priceless! I want to see more!

[@zaahirkhan7795]

Great initiative Studio Binder! Learning so much

[@craiginzana]

This series makes me excited to be getting back into filmmaking. A lot of things are different when filming in other parts of the country (used to work in Pittsburgh, now trying to do the same in Omaha).

[@Vhender.]

I love this content. I'm learning more with you than in the 4 years of college.

[@GeeTwistsFilms]

I am loving this journey thus far. It's getting me all revved up and inspired for my upcoming project. I would love to be part of the second season for I have this film script I have always wanted to see the light of day but it has been an uphill task...but unfortunately I am nowhere near LA or the U.S😔. Hopefully one day in the future you'll welcome submissions from international indie filmmakers 💯✊. Dreams are still valid

[@StudioBinder]

Thanks for the support! Best of luck to you with your project! When you're ready, feel free to submit your script (before the end of the year) in the link provided. Hopefully, yours gets selected! www.studiobinder.com/making-it-submissions/ 🤞🏻😊🎬✌🏻

[@manavdehi]

I just love that old man's voice on all those studiobinder Videos 🔥

[@nebvision6839]

This entire series needs waaaaaay more love. This is great. Looking forward to episode 5

[@StudioBinder]

Appreciate the support! Thanks for watching our series! In the meantime, if there are any filmmaking related topics you want to learn about, check out our blog: studiobinder.com/blog/ Cheers! 😊✌🏻🎬

[@orangearts-desgs5614]

I could watch this all day 😂 Maybe because I want to be a part of it. :D

[@afarhan21]

this is so exciting.

[@skytechea70]

Coming together nicely guys well done.

[@StudioBinder]

Thank you! Appreciate the support! 😊✌🏻🎬

[@johnmorgeneier7748]

I busted out laughing on the Hippocratic Oath joke, that dude's delivery was solid!

[@漫讯T200]

Finially，I saw the narrator. His voice is so impressive!

[@joaquinhernandez6940]

If I needed to turn down some actors, but was in the need for some extras. I would offer that as an alternative.

[@waseemwattoo1942]

Love and respect for Herman

[@immaYoubing]

[@Jackwyldes]

Best channel on KZbin

[@caseestarr]

I enjoyed the process.

[@caseestarr]

Nice Line Up. 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

[@waseemwattoo1942]

The best channel and best content

[@NIKONGUY1960]

This is so well done, thank you

[@sebastiananderson4486]

lol, I don't know if it was this production or another try, but I remember doing a self-tape for this script ;)

[@friend5625]

Nice

[@blainemarcano]

This series is awesome!

[@surafelhabtamu5150]

Would you make a video on how to deal with reflections when shooting around or infront of mirrors, please

[@stealahb]

excellent choice on Tim! [well, okay i liked him]

[@slimgr1m120]

Very informative.

[@cmcofficial1562]

6.53 Wow now he is the Voice of the StudioBinder is he ?

[@caseestarr]

Thanks.

[@Team60s]

Love this series❤️

[@StudioBinder]

Thank you! Appreciate the support! Be sure to stay tuned for the last two episodes! 😊✌🏻

[@tc9552]

Great series.. just one thing... how long do the potential cast get to prepare from the sides?

[@naverich4603]

I didn't see the whole audition obviously but the guy in 4:55 seemed like a great choice for Tim. He would be great as this kinky, kind of nerdy character similar to Scott Pilgrim. But I haven't seen the short yet so I don't know what was your intention. Where can I watch it anyway?

[@LumkoNgubo]

What’s the learning curve on studio binder like?

[@anitagautam763]

The Shawshank redemption casting.

[@cletusyesk]

Missed opportunity for ADR during the table read

[@olive-yello]

You keep mentioning that you have templates and "how to's" in your description, but I can't find them......

[@vogsport4767]

Cool

[@Fushikatz]

Do you pay for auditions? Is there a fix compensation or something like paying for Bus tickets etc.?

[@tusharkant_swain]

when the next episode is coming

[@tusharkant_swain]

and its still beautiful as the last 4

[@tusharkant_swain]

@Kishor hn

[@imiy]

I don't get it why do they make a table read, where actors are sitting at the table, half-acting, without body language. Why not to make a real rehearsal instead?

[@srinivassridhar5151]

there will be a rehearsal after the table read, table read is for the cast and the director to know each other and understand the script in and out. You just can't hire a bunch of actors and start the rehearsal immediately..

[@rasheedlewis1]

1:32 "Don't do it in your living room. It'll be creepy." Don't do it on a dark blue couch either. Made that mistake one too many times.

[@cuckoobrain7999]

Did they do any research on mental health at all?

[@mr.c_visuals]

🔥❤️

[@ommm8]

Very interesting but badly flawed in that many of the aspects of the film weren't reflective of a real filmmaking journey. The DOP already worked on staff FOR Studiobinder ! They used office space for the table read for free because they owned the office. They got the location because the owners were told it was going to be on a youtube documentary and they could get free publicity for their business. None of these things would happen for most filmmakers, so the reality of the struggle to get it made is lost. Nevertheless it's quite watchable and informative : )

[@sairamkrishnamathe1810]

Mise en scene

[@TheMoggFREE]

i dont like it how he had all those guys audition but he had an actor in mind for Billy. why you gotta let those guys audition, man? what a waste of their time.

[@morezg472]

Well, if you are from the Middle East and your country does not exist, how will you participate and you want this?🙄

[@FerraFilms]

This series is so awesome and helpful for filmmakers out there. I really enjoy the series and learn so much from it.
