Johnson's Baby Photo Project, Utah, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, Washington

December 21, 2010
In early January, Johnson's baby is going to begin shooting a 50 stage wide photography project showcasing parents and babies sharing everyday moments of joy together.

It's a great new high profile campaign that is going to be launching on a national tv talk show the week before mother's day 2011 and the photography book is going to follow shortly after in book stores.

At the end of the day its going to be a great unheralded project. Even though its a Johnson's book, their ultimate goal is to give the real hard working mom's and dad's of America a platform to be seen and heard from as a thank you for being great parents.

As this project doesn't fall under normal advertising and is more along the lines of a goodwill project, the subjects pay for participating in the shoots is going to be a gift baskets of 15 great items from Johnson's baby as well as a copy of the coffee table photography book when it comes out in stores. One cool aspect is that the book is going to be launched on a major national talk show (unfortunately can't use the name yet) the week before mothers day. Its definitely going to be seen by a lot of people.

Ideally they are looking for families with babies in the 10 month to 36 month range. All ethnicities. The shoots themselves will be a few crew members and the stories that they are shooting will drive where and what they shoot. The idea is to talk to the families and get their real moments of joy that they share with their baby on an everyday basis and highlight that.
 
Most of these shoots take place in the subjects houses our surrounding areas.

Looking to shoot in early January so they need to really ramp up their casting by the end of this week.

If you are interested, email crazeagency@sisna.com or bookings@crazeagency.com with
 
    1. A quick intro about you as parents and your baby
    2. A picture of the baby and any photos you have together
 
We will submit this info. to casting for consideration. If they are interested in using your family, we will contact you.
 
We need your submission by Thursday, December 23, 3:00pm.
 
Thanks,
Craze Agency

 Please read the entire POSTING SO YOU UNDERSTAND AND WE CAN ASSIST YOU EFFECTIVELY!

 Please make a copy of this for your future reference! The first part of the email pertains to the database the last part the website, they are totally different!!!!!!!!!

 This is how our clients choose who goes on AUDITIONS AND BOOKS JOBS! We have created an amazing database system that will allow us to generate and send out a very detailed list about our models, actors and extras to our hiring clients. You must go into our website and fill out as much of the information that it asks for. Here are a few examples of the thousands of ways this will help all of us to increase your bookings and auditions.  If a client is looking for an Male Asian experienced actor age 40-55 5'10"- 6'0" or if the client is looking for a Female Model 5'8" to 5'9" age 16-19 size 4-5 with Blonde hair and Blue eyes with runway experience it will pull up a detailed list of all the people in the agency that exactly meet this criteria.

This will also pull up an individual list of Extras or Models, Actors, Females, Children, Caucasians, etc.
The clients can also see your resume in our database.

We asked our clients what we could do to help them book you more and this is what they want.  If you do not input the information requested you will never show up on the searches and this will dramatically hurt or eliminate your chances. We are the local leader in this detailed technology.

This database does not cost you anything!

Please remember to read the entire email so that you will not be confused about the difference between the database and website!

 Go to http://www.crazeagency.com  and on the top left side of the page you will insert your user name. Your user name will be your first name with the first letter capitalized and then your last name no spaces in between your names with the first letter in your last name capitalized.  Some examples would be Steve Smith username is  SteveSmith, or Janet Thompson username  JanetThompson . Now put in your password, it will be the first three letters in your first name with the first letter capitalized and then with no space put in your full last name. An example would be Steve Smith would have a password of SteSmith or Janet Thompson would be JanThompson .  

 Now click login.  This will pull up a new page welcoming you and at the top left corner you will see edit profile, click that and it will pull up your page. Now you can enter your important data.

 If you are newer with Craze or it does not work give it about 7-14 days if it does not work then, email us at crazeagency@sisna.com and we will put you in manually. Be patient we have been putting in over 100,000 statistics on all of you the last 7 months!  If you have a really long name it may need us to adjust it for you the first time! After you have accurately entered all of your information you may change your password if you wish, so that no one except you and the agency can get into your information. Please write down your password and save it, we do not have time to look up login and passwords!

 Finally after you have inputted all of your information you must scroll to the bottom of the page and SAVE CHANGES.

This is a database system that Craze uses to help our hiring clients know more about you.

This is not part of the Craze Agency website.  We have worked overtime to keep this as simple as possible. Please follow these directions we do not have time to direct you and answer questions, we want to spend our time promoting you.  Print a copy of this Email and save it in a safe place.

_______________________________________________________________________


THE REMAINING EMAIL IS A TOTALLY SEPARATE OPPORTUNITY THAT WE FEEL IS EXTREMELY BENEFICIAL TO YOU!!!!.   It will help you with increased exposure and the opportunity to be booked on more paying jobs! We highly recommend that you get on the Agency WEBSITE!

Peter:  Adult Men, ages 25-45.  Strong, muscular build.

Paul:  Adult Men, ages 25-45.  Average, small or lean build.

Pilate:  Adult Men over 45.

EXTRAS

If you are interested in being an extra (non-speaking), you DO NOT need to attend these auditions.  We have your information and will notify you as needed.  Auditioning will have NO bearing whether or not you are chosen as an extra.

Questions & Answers

Q:  Are you auditioning children's roles?

A:  Yes, but not at this time.  Currently we are only auditioning male adults over 18 and female adults over 14 years of age.

Q:  I don't have a lot of acting experience, but I'd like to give it a try.  May I audition?

A:  Yes.  We are considering professional, semi-professional, amateur, and no-experience (but interested) active-LDS actors with “the look” we seek for New Testament. 

Q:  What is "the look?"

A:  This is specifically Semitic (Arabic or Mediterranean).  We seek archetypes and stereotypes in film.  It doesn't matter what your ethnicity is, as long as you LOOK like the people we've defined.

Q:  I am blonde with blue eyes and fair skin.  What are my chances?

A:  As we are auditioning for The New Testament, we seek actors and extras who closely resemble the people involved in these stories.  (See above.)  It is true that hair and skin may be dyed and even colored contacts used.  If you have the BONE STRUCTURE of a Semite, then perhaps you could audition.

Q:  I'm a SAG actor.  Should I audition?

A:  The LDS Church is currently in negotiations with the Screen Actors Guild.  We do not, as yet, have a contract with them.  You are welcome to audition, but please know this shoot is not affiliated with SAG and all auditioners will be asked to sign an indemnity agreement to verify their understanding of this.

Q:  Because I'm receiving these e-mails, does it mean I'm hired?

A:  Absolutely not.  Please be aware that ALL extras and actors will be chosen based upon our need.  Submission does not verify placement.  At this point, no one has been chosen yet.

How Getting Paid Works

December 15, 2010

As many of you have witnessed the Craze Agency has booked hundreds of our talent over the last few months. This is a fantastic thing but can also sometimes create a problem so please read the entire post so that you may understand how payment works.

Some national and even local Clients that you work for take their sweet time to pay you and us, even when we bill them with a 30-day voucher. The models and actors who have been represented by us for years have noticed some clients pay almost immediately and some take a very long time.

Often the reason why it takes a while for all of us to get paid is that the specific client that pays you the talent, has to first bill one, two or three other clients (usually the Main company or producer, then the Photographer, then the ad agency or the casting company etc.) for them to get paid. Many times each of those clients are on a 30-day voucher. Unfortunately it is the agency and talent that are paid last; it has always been that way. This is why sometimes it takes 30-120 days to get paid.

Please rest assured; you will be paid as soon as we do!!! 

We have always and will always pay you as soon as the check clears our bank account! You will receive an email stating when you can receive your check the date it clears.

We just do not have time to constantly field questions about payment and become very wary of talent that continue to call asking when they will be paid. We do not know until we receive it. It is out of our control, we are not the ones hiring or paying you to do the job. We are promoting you and negotiating the rates on your behalf.

We do promise to do everything we can to help you get paid in a timely manner.  Also please remember you will usually work for each client as an Independent contractor, your are not an employee of  the client or Craze. We work as your agent trying to find and negotiate offers on your behalf.

If you cannot work under their system please do not accept the job. Often Major Films and SAG projects do not take more than 30 days. We hate having to wait as bad as you do (we all have bills to pay). We do everything in our power to collect ASAP, but in the 10 years we have been booking talent it has always been this way and will probably never change with the some of the companies that hire talent. The clients know they get a lot of people work so if we harass them too much they will just use someone else so you or Craze will not have the opportunity to work with them again. If after working with a client we find out they continually take way to long to pay we will usually stop working with them unless they are really big contracts. When we do Government jobs they sometimes take 3-6 months to pay.

Watch your emails, we will email you notification when we receive your check and it has cleared! When the client pays you directly you are responsible to pay Craze 10% of the Gross amount (highest) on extra work under $100 per day and 15% of the Gross on everything else. Please send it to Craze immediately when the check clears your bank. We will not bug you about it so please pay it so we can continue to promote you. We cannot afford to promote anyone and will take you off out talent list if we do not receive our commission.

To help insure payment when you are booked on jobs please remember to bring appropriate ID and fill out all forms legibly if you are asked to. Keep track of the dates you work, the name of the client and what the job was just in case. Make sure you understand what you are signing. Do not ever sign contracts unless the agency has notified you to do so and knows what are signing!!!!

Thanks to all of you for the opportunity to assist you in your talent endeavors!

Holding Auditions for this movie at the University of Utah From 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM on Saturday, Dec. 18th.

Filming will take place in Layton, Utah starting Dec. 27, and going through Jan. 10. 

Casting 5 Characters. 3 Male and 2 Female. Read below for details.

**Character Details**

Tom (25-30)- He is the lead character who is bringing his girlfriend home to meet his family. He is your average Joe. Who feels neglected by his parents who have been preoccupied with his mentally disabled brother. The Body type I have in mind for this character is skinny and tall. A little goofy and an all around good guy.

Sue (20-25)- Tom’s Girlfriend. She wants to get married so she doesn’t end up an old made. My idea for her is that she is innocent but has a dark side to her that comes out by the end of the film. I would like her to be Asian, or Hispanic, but I am willing to curve my own ideas about the characters looks depending on the performance of the actress. I would like her to be good looking and a good match for Tom as she is playing opposite him.

Benjamin (30-35)- Benjamin is slightly mentally disabled and is living with his deceased parents. He loves Tom, and gets excited over little things. The body type I have in mind for him is short and fat. (Kind of looking for a Laurel and Hardy pair.)

Mom (50-60)- Dead, when she is animated (as seen through Benjamin’s eyes) she is over the top “Mommy.”

Dad (50-60)- Dead, When he is animated (as seen through Benjamin’s eyes) he is grumpy.

Audition Workshop for upcoming Casting Auditions for LDS Film, "The New Testament." Utah

December 13, 2010

At long last it is time for the Utah Auditions for LDS Casting's New Testament project!   

They seek primarily MEN who resemble the cultures and races represented within the scriptural account, namely: Semitic, Roman, Greek, Egyptian, and others of Middle Eastern/Southern European/Arabic/North African origin.

The e-mail below explains the best way to sign-up for an audition.  They would appreciate it if you would also follow this process and strongly encourage you to attend the Audition Workshop this Tuesday, December 14th.  

It will also serve as a scheduling advantage to attend the workshop. 

RE:  New Testament Auditions for Utah and surrounding areas

New Testament project to film in the Spring of 2011. Please note...

UTAH AUDITIONS:

                         -- January 5-8, 2011 in Bountiful, Utah

                         -- January 12-15, 2011 in Orem, Utah

TO SIGN-UP:  A website link will be e-mailed to Craze December 16th.   Please DO NOT request this link before this date.  It will not be available until then.

EXTRAS

If you are interested in being an extra (non-speaking), you DO NOT need to attend these auditions.  We have your information and will notify you as needed.  Auditioning will have NO bearing whether or not you are chosen as an extra.

Casting wants everyone to do their best at these auditions.  Consequently, they have prepared a workshop for all auditioners to attend. Audition Workshops such as this often require substantial enrollment fees.  They offer this completely free of charge, hoping to give you the best opportunity to succeed.  This audition workshop is not designed to take the place of other reputable acting and audition workshops which do require enrollment fees.

AUDITION WORKSHOP

DATE:  Tuesday, December 14, 2010.

TIME:  7:00 - 9:00pm.  Please be on time... Really.

LOCATION:  UCCU Events Center, 800 E University Pkwy, Orem, Utah, 84058.  Driving directions may be obtained from the website: http://www.uccueventscenter.com

ENROLLMENT FEE:  None.

PREPARATION:  Please look over your audition sides before attending the workshop. You may check their website (casting.lds.org) to download sides.

ADVANTAGE:  Attendees will receive the LINK for the audition sign-ups upon completion.  This gives workshop attendees a 24-hour priority scheduling advantage over those who do not attend.

For those who will be interested in auditioning for speaking roles, they strongly encourage you to attend this 2-hour workshop the evening of Tuesday, December 14, 2010.  It will provide an array of valuable information in preparation for your audition:

  (1)  Valuable tips and guidelines for the best way to approach your audition for this project.

  (2)  A review of general direction for each role as proposed by the Director of the project.

  (3)  A review of some basic acting strategies which will help you in your preparations for the audition.

  (4)  Those who attend this workshop will receive the LINK for the audition sign-ups upon completion.  This gives workshop attendees a 24-hour priority scheduling advantage to schedule their audition date and time.  The link will not be given to others until the following evening.

  (5)  There will be a Q&A period at the end of the workshop (within the 2-hour time frame) for fielding general questions not previously addressed.

SIDES & CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS

As they are casting for so many roles, they have reduced the number of audition sides to five.  Callbacks for all roles will come out of these general auditions.  Please audition based upon your physical type.  You may check their website (casting.lds.org) to download sides.

Angel Gabriel:  Young Men, ages 18-25.

Peter:  Adult Men, ages 25-45.  Strong, muscular build.

Paul:  Adult Men, ages 25-45.  Average, small or lean build.

Pilate:  Adult Men over 45. 

Woman of Samaria:  All women, ages 14 and older (even those auditioning for the role of "Mary")

Questions & Answers

Q:  Are you auditioning children's roles?

A:  Yes, but not at this time.  Currently we are only auditioning male adults over 18 and female adults over 14 years of age.

Q:  I don't have a lot of acting experience, but I'd like to give it a try.  May I audition?

A:  Yes.  We are considering professional, semi-professional, amateur, and no-experience (but interested) active-LDS actors with “the look” we seek for New Testament. 

Q:  What is "the look?"

A:  This is specifically Semitic (Arabic or Mediterranean).  We seek archetypes and stereotypes in film.  It doesn't matter what your ethnicity is, as long as you LOOK like the people we've defined.

Q:  I am blonde with blue eyes and fair skin.  What are my chances?

A:  As we are auditioning for The New Testament, we seek actors and extras who closely resemble the people involved in these stories.  (See above.)  It is true that hair and skin may be dyed and even colored contacts used.  If you have the BONE STRUCTURE of a Semite, then perhaps you could audition.

Q:  I'm a SAG actor.  Should I audition?

A:  The LDS Church is currently in negotiations with the Screen Actors Guild.  We do not, as yet, have a contract with them.  You are welcome to audition, but please know this shoot is not affiliated with SAG and all auditioners will be asked to sign an indemnity agreement to verify their understanding of this.

Q:  Because I'm receiving these e-mails, does it mean I'm hired?

A:  Absolutely not.  Please be aware that ALL extras and actors will be chosen based upon our need.  Submission does not verify placement.  At this point, no one has been chosen yet.

This production has no union affiliation.
 
Thank you for your continued support of LDS films!
