SCREENSHOT - The Gorgeous Suesha Rana in a touching and beautifully acted scene. Directed by Mark DeFriest and Written/Produced by Debbie Thoy for Showreel Elite Scenes. |
The Perth Film Network and Wizard Corporation Productions
were the first to offer professional Showreel scenes in Perth called “Showreel
Elite Scenes” back in 2008.
I worked
with Professional Director, Mark DeFriest and tried everything to find a way to
make filming scenes affordable for actors with the best direction and production
values possible.
It was a number of
years of trial and error in which I was never happy with the result and it was not a profitable exercise, even though the scenes were a high quality for the cost. I finally came to the conclusion that to get
the best quality scene, actors would just have to pay.
I could keep the price down to a realistic cost,
but actors would have to be prepared to pay
the cost to film a scene, as filmmaking is an expensive exercise and also actors had to lift their game in regards to their homework of developing their
character and being totally prepared before going on set.
This is one thing I noticed was the greatest
problem, actors came on set totally unprepared.
Sometimes working on the script one day before. It's a learning curve, but an expensive one.
