[FACTORY OWNER]

    2. zoom out for full body shots with full body profiles, zoom in and shoot from torso up to deliver copy (clearly showing face and hair length).
    3. MANDATORY! TATTOO ARTIST Please shoot your tattoos CLOSE UP so they can be seen clearly.
    4. AUDITION COPY – TATTOO ARTIST: Please say the following line (in bold below) three (3) times, with a different read each time. Director’s Note: The line should be said sternly, the way you would while in the middle of tattooing someone “Don’t move.”
    5. AUDITION COPY – FACTORY OWNER: Please say the following line (in bold below) three (3) times, with a different read each time.  Please note that you are arm wrestling with “Bob” who is trying to convince you to lower your prices. Director’s Note: Relenting — you’ve been holding out on this deal for a long time, but Bob finally pressured you into it. This should be earnest, but not over-done.“Ok, ok, $799 for the whole shebang! Whatever you want!”
SELF-TAPE TIPS
1. Appear camera ready (TATTOO ARTIST rock and roll/cool, FACTORY OWNER Business Casual/Polo/No long sleeves)
2. Make sure you are well lit, in focus without background noise.
3. Camera should be direct at eye level with body framed right below shoulders to top of head. We want to see your facial expressions, TATTOO ARTIST’s tats and FACTORY OWNER’s arm.
