Drop us a line and let us know you're interested in coming by the office and chatting about your scenes and we'll set up an appointment and discuss what package is right for you.
Step 1: The consultation
This is where the creative juices get flowing and we start envisioning your scenes together. We'll take your vision and characters and start developing situations that will market you appropriately. We’ll also look at the calendar and decide a shoot date that is right for you.
Step 2: Script Writing
Amanda, our writer, will take the ideas we discussed together and turn those ideas into a formatted script. We’re all about collaboration and about getting these scenes to be as close to your vision as possible. It’s important you connect with the scripts and resonate with them. We'll finesse the scripts until you're totally satisfied.
Step 3: Pre-Production
Once the final scripts are approved, our office goes into a pre-production flurry! Your shoot will be meticulously organized as we break down the scenes, locations, schedules, casting, props/wardrobe ideas and send out a final call sheet within 24 hours before your shoot with all the specifics.
Step 4: The Shoot
The crew and your appointed scene partners will arrive at our given call times at the office or location (Scene dependent). Makeup can be done in the office or on location. A typical 3 Scene Ultimate Package takes 6-8 hours, a 3 Scene Basic Package takes 3-4 hours both including makeup/travel and being shot in one day. (Make Up is not included in any of the Packages - We do provide a makeup artist referral list if requested)
Step 5: Editing
As soon as we’re done filming you, we start the Post-Production process! Within one week, we will have a "rough cut" ready for you to look at. The rough cut is the first edit of your scene(s) before color correction, cleaned sound or music. We'll then apply any notes or requests you have and move towards a final edit.
Step 6: AUDIO / COLOR MASTERING
Once we have the final cut of the scene(s) approved by you, we will start the music composition, sound/dialogue cleaning and color correction.This is where your scenes pick up that ultra professional polish you can't get from your neighborhood videographer.
Additional details
Our basic package is designed as a simple way to showcase your talent with a rapid turnaround. Need a demo reel done today? Then our basic package is the way to go. Some things to be aware of when selecting the basic package: these scenes are MONOLOGUES no longer than 30 seconds. We do not provide custom soundtracks for the basic package. We also shoot with a single camera focused on you, cutaways can be done if you provide a stand-in actor. This is the classic "demo reel" - Simple, clean, and to the point. If you're looking for a truly unique reel, we suggest creating one of our Ultimate Package reels.

- 30-60 second scenes
- Custom Monologue scripts with reactions written by LA REELS

The Ultimate Package is the most popular reel service we provide. With the affordable pricing we offer and our top notch quality, there's really no other alternative out there. Options are available for fewer or more scenes, but we have found that three scenes provides the optimal variety and substance for your reel. The benefits of choosing the "Ultimate" package compared to the basic package are fairly substantial, so please take your time when making your selection. Choose this package for a demo reel that really outshines your competition.
