MVP Welcomes Caroline O’Neil To The Cast Of “G.H.O.S.T.”

Mutantville Productions is extremely proud to announce the addition of local actor – Caroline O’Neil to the cast of “G.H.O.S.T.”

Caroline has apearred in several local productions including the Vintage Seduction Trailer, The Trial and Chekov’s Children for director Robert Fillion.   Caroline is an extremely talented and vivacious individual who just happens to be a master of education as well as a master of fine arts.

Director J.T. McRoberts states, “I met Caroline at last month’s Charlotte Film Community meetup and was impressed by her cheerful attitude and overall effervescence.  Caroline jokingly stated that she wanted to join us on “G.H.O.S.T.”  Being the writer and director, I decided to call her bluff and wrote her into one of the new scenes.”  Caroline will join lead actress Kathy Sandvoss on the set this coming weekend to film one of the new scenes for act one of “G.H.O.S.T.”

MVP is very happy to welcome Caroline to the talented cast of “G.H.O.S.T.”  We look forward to working with her on this and many projects to come!

Directors–Include Publicity Shots in Your Shot List.

ghost-on-set-oct-10-2009By Rodney Robbins from the Charlotte Creative Community Board:

With all those lights and all that great looking talent, you have the perfect chance to shoot stunning, attention grabbing publicity stills. Instead of thinking of these shots as add-ons that slow down your already Super Tight production schedule, I say schedule them in and SAVE time! Do your publicity shots after the last take, before you strike the lights, that way it takes 2 minutes to get a great shot in stead of 20. Here are some shots to consider adding to your Shot List.

Close-up of lead crying or laughing

Two shot of leads arguing or being VERY expressive

Director giving notes to talent on set

Medium shot of actors pointing at lines

Actors playing with (er…um…I mean Rehearsing with) props

DP and producer with camera

Gaffer and DP or director setting lights

Writer and director framing a shot

Talent and director pigging out at craft services

People usually find these “candid,” behind the scenes shots much more interesting than a wide shot of the entire cast and crew. May I also suggest that you go ahead and feature individuals in your shots, make them STARS, but for different media outlets. Let the talent be the stars of main stream newspapers–they love that stuff. PAs can be stars in their college newspaper. Producers can be stars in business journals and newsletters. Directors and photographers can be stars for weekly newspapers and journals. I hope this helps.

Best wishes,

Rodney Robbins
