Inside The Extras Dept.

NEW PHOTOSHOOT DATE! We often get asked how can improve my chances / how can I improve my profile. The answer is simple, GET A GOOD PHOTO!!! Extras NI have a photoshoot on Saturday 17th October. If you don’t have the means to take a great photograph at home then make use of this opportunity and start selling your face to us and productions. Extras NI are 99% in charge of getting your face on screen as an extra. So what’s the other 1% I hear you ask? It’s the most important %, THE DIRECTOR’S INPUT. We have literally presented Directors with 1000s of photographs over the years; when trawling through our system for options it is extremely disappointing to see photos that are of poor quality, because you are hanging out with your mate or a dog or because they have distracting backgrounds. These photos do not illustrate someone who is professional and capable, why would a director give you responsibility on his/her set if you don’t portray this in your photo? What makes it even more disappointing is that we have met many of you personally and know that you are capable and right for the role but have to be passed over. Photoshoots are also a great opportunity for you to meet our casting team, we love meeting people face to face and you’ll also have the opportunity to talk to our team about your profile, productions, our systems and procedures, we also love hearing all your stories from set! We strongly recommend you book your timeslot now. The booking form is online, all you need to do is go to our website, login to your personal profile and click “Book a photoshoot”.
