Reel People Models & Talent prides itself on having a wide selection of the most qualified
models & talent in the area. Our clients are located coast to coast, but
the majority of work performed is located in the immediate Omaha, Lincoln,
Sioux City, Sioux Falls and Des Moines areas. However,
through conferences, we can offer you connections to bigger markets. To gain
the experience needed in any market, follow this basic plan:
WORKSHOPS/EDUCATION -
Schedule a print, runway, or acting workshop and listen to your agent.
Read books about acting and modeling.
We work with our clients and know what they want from
talent. You must be prepared to take constructive criticism from us. We
will represent you fairly and promote you in every area you are
qualified for. We want to keep communications open with you at all times.
Let us know what is happening with your career.
PHOTO SHOOTS -
Schedule a photo shoot with the photographer (Donnie).
Although other photographers (that you find on your
own) are acceptable, the agency photographer will offer the fastest
service with the most convenience when trying to produce your
promotional materials. As you plan for your photo shoot, you will need a
variety of shots. These should include head-shots, fashion,
catalogue, sportswear, body-shots, movement shots, etc. Learn to be a
little daring, but in the midwest market, a fabulous natural smile is the most
important. After the shoot, an appointment will be scheduled to review
your photos and plan the promotional materials. Allow the agency to
approve photos from any other photographers, as well.
COMP CARDS - Your
comp cards, headshots or web page are your introduction
to the clients who hire the talent for their project.
Of course they need to make a great "first impression", but
because they are disposable (your comp cards or headshots need to be
re-placed or updated routinely), you shouldn't be spending a tremendous
amount of money on them. Reel People staff can help you with this
all-important project.
MARKET YOURSELF - It
is YOUR responsibility to keep your agent's file updated.
Let us know if your telephone, address, hair, weight,
etc. changes. (You can now update this on your own online) Keep an adequate supply of comps cards/headshots, demo tapes,
resumes, etc. on file with us. This is very important if you want to
work.
Realize that promoting yourself is an ongoing effort.
Your portfolio should be high quality and kept current. It is a model's
most valuable investment. The agency's web site is the most feasible
method of promoting our talent to the world. You can include as many
photos as your agent recommends and include a resume with statistics. We
never include your last name or personal contact information for
security reasons. The site address is; www.reelpeopleonline.com
GET INVOLVED - Participate
in the activities, promotions, and workshops
provided by or recommended by the agency. We want you
to have "open doors" of opportunity. These can lead you to the
next step toward success in your career. With Reel People, these include
the national talent conferences, Model Connection, Image Makers, and
various promotions for the talent as a group. Check the agency's web
site www.reelpeopleonline.com
for information on activities that we are hosting.
