CAMP DEMO REEL is a four day intensive that teaches script and scene preparation, on-camera acting technique and culminates in filming two scenes – one comedic and one dramatic – for your demo reel.
We will write and provide customized scenes and then direct and film them with a professional crew and broadcast quality HD equipment.
The first two days of camp are conducted virtually and are jam-packed with on-camera technique in addition to individual scene rehearsals. The last two days are in-person in LA and are dedicated to filming personal demo reel scenes. We also provide students with a copy of their completed reel, and if students have existing footage they would like to add, our editors can create a master reel for an additional fee.
