What Goes Into Casting a Green Screen Video? Read More to Find Out!

People want to know what goes into casting a cutting-edge green screen video or trailer? So, for our latest video for New Gods, we decided to create a diary and let our readers go behind the scenes to see how it happens.

The first step is to do extensive research on the customer and their project so we can clearly portray the idea and purpose of the green screen video. With New Gods, this meant accurately communicating the director’s vision to potential actors.

Next, we created the audition logistics, a list of specific tasks we needed to complete before audition day. We worked with an experienced talent coordinator, Barbette Hunter, which was essential to the success of this video.

At this point, it was time to create a press release announcing the audition. With Barbette’s expertise, our team used several methods to inform potential talent of the project, including

  • Sending an email to nearly 250 actors;
  • Uploading info to casting call websites; and
  • Loading the press release to TarHeel.ning.com and Facebook.com.

In the days before the audition, we emailed all interested actors the script and posted all of their head shots to Flickr and resumes to our online file storage. This allowed the production crew to have easy access to information on potential talent.

After a lot of hard work and anticipation, audition day finally arrived. By following our carefully planned out schedule, our team was able to complete all tasks in one afternoon. The professionals at TheeDesign Studio made sure the producer and director had copies of the actors’ head shots and resumes, ensuring that the audition went as smoothly as possible – ­­allowing us to find the right talent for the green screen video.
