Self-tapes include a stills-style hold and a short movement. We do not cast from a single smiling headshot.
Wardrobe tests on camera, in the key we intend to use. Fabric that photographs well in a phone snap can fail under HMI.
Agencies get selects with notes on motion, not only beauty. The person who ‘looks like the deck’ still has to walk.
Background talent is scheduled, not hoped for. A documentary-looking office still needs people who can ignore the camera.
Releases are signed before wrap, including stills usage. A film release that forgets print is a lawyer’s letter in month four.
Forestteasary keeps a lane of rooms on Hornsgatan. Clients make glass, ceramics, bakeries and the boats that run between the islands. November afternoons end early. We shoot the object at noon, the street while the lamps are just on, and we do not stretch either into the other.
