Do not change your appearance once the costume, hair and make-up departments have approved you.
ACCESSORIES AND PROPS: When you are booked for work you will need to bring accessories and props. Depending on the scene, will depend on what you bring.

Make sure your props and accessories match your scene and your outfits. Other accessories could be jewelry, scarves, hats, gloves. Be creative with your looks. The more helpful you are with wardrobe, the more casting and the wardrobe department on set will appreciate you. Sometimes the prop department will give you a prop to carry in a scene.

YOUR CALLTIME INFORMATION: Your agent will call you between 7:00 pm – 11:00 pm to give you your call time information the night before you scheduled shoot day. Your agent will first email you your information. Please make sure you are looking for this information when you know you are working the next day as it is easier for you and your agent to confirm all details if you familiarize yourself with the information prior to your agent contacting you. You may also confirm your availability in your online calendar, your email or text once you and your agent have determined that level of trust. If it is 11 pm at night and you still do not have your call time for your booking the next day, you must call your agents after hours contact numbers. Again, your call time information will consist of your call time (time to be on set), your location, and your wardrobe, who to check in with and where, maps will usually be included in the email, and any other information needed. Please remember that once you have booked yourself on a production we ask that you fulfill your commitment. It is very difficult to replace you late at night, and your agent and casting do not appreciate or accept this work ethic.
GOING TO SET: When you are on your way to set make sure you map out your route if you are driving, so you know where you are going before you leave for your destination as, we do not want you arriving on set late. However if you are going to be late for set you must contact your agent before you are late and let them know. Your agent will want to know where you are no matter what time it is, we need to hear from you even if you will be 5 minutes late. Your agent does not want to receive a call from the casting director telling them you are late. Your agent will then have to track you down to see where you are. Again, be professional and on top on your game by being on time, and if you are late, be responsible and pro active, and let your agent know you are late so they can call casting.
WORKING ON SET ALWAYS BE ON TIME FOR WORK! If you ever think you might be late please contact your agent immediately. By doing this you let your agent know that you are on your way and also saves them time trying to track you down.

Make sure you fill out these forms properly, failing to do so will result in you not being paid on time. Always make sure you have a pen, your Social Insurance number (SIN) your mailing address and postal code, make sure to put your agency on your voucher, and check the box that says mail check to agent. Your check will usually be ready for pick up within about 2 weeks at your agency. If you are a minor or teenager please inform us if you do not have a Social Insurance number yet. You can put in your date of birth in replace of your social insurance number and in brackets write MINOR beside your birth date.
WORK PERMITS: If you are a Background Performer who is from another country, you must have a valid work permit and social insurance number in order to work on set. You must bring a copy of it with you to each different movie you work on. You can also upload these documents to your secured CASTBG webpage. Only you and your agent will be able to see your documents. Your agent can then send your documentation to the accounting departments on your behalf or you can print these documents and hand them in to set when you arrive on each job you do.
RESIDENCY INFORMATION FOR CANADIAN BACK GROUND PERFORMERS: With all the new legislation in BC, you as background performers must supply residency information on American Productions so that the production can qualify for the BC Tax Credits. The documentation you need to supply is a Notice of Assessment from your last tax return, or if you do not have this, you must supply a government issued ID, such as BCID, BCDL, Passport and 2 copies of utility bills that show your address. You may also have these documents posted online on your secured webpage so that your agent can forward it to the accounting office of each production you work on, or you can print them and take to set each time you check in.
ARRIVE SET READY: make sure you arrive dressed your first change of wardrobe, with your hair and make up done if you are a female, and clean shaven if you are a male unless otherwise requested differently. You always bring 2 extra changes of clothes with you either hanging in a garment bag or folded neatly in a roller suitcase as we do not want wrinkled wardrobe arriving on set. Again 3 full changes of clothes consists of Jackets or coats, pants, slacks, skirts, blouses, sweaters, shoes and accessories and props if needed. Your agent will always tell you the colors and season that the scene is. For example, winter, spring, summer, fall wardrobe, different color pallets, etc. In general you never wear Red, White or really bring colors, and of course no Logos.

EXTRAS HOLDING: is the designated area where Background Performers wait until they are required on set. Never leave extras holding as you may be needed at any moment. If you need to use the facilities or get a coffee, please inform your extras wrangler prior to leaving.
CRAFT SERVICE: Light snacks and beverages are provided during the work day. This is called craft service. Due to different budgets there is often one craft service table for crew members and another for Background Performers. Please do not eat from the crew member's craft service table.
LUNCH: A light lunch is provided and generally served six hours after the crew has started working. The lunch is not served during a typical lunch hour, so if you have any special dietary needs you may want to bring your own snacks or meal.
GETTING DIRECTION FROM THE AD: Once you go to set the A.D.s will tell you your movement or blocking for a scene. You must remember this as you will need to repeat this exact match movement for different camera angle shots. This is called continuity. It is important that you remember exactly what you did and how you looked in each scene. Most productions will rehearse the movements or blocking of a scene several times prior to filming. When the director feels ready to shoot, you will hear the following prompts or terms.
* The 1st A.D. will call out "roll sound" to initiate sound recording.
* Next, the sound department will call out "sound speed" to confirm that they are recording sound.
* After that, the camera department will sync the film and sound using the time slate or clapper. They may also call out "frame" to confirm that they are filming.
* Then the 1st A.D. will call out "background action" to cue the Background Performers to begin their movement.
* Lastly, the director will call out "action" to cue the actors
* Once the scene is completed the director will call "cut". It is very important that you continue the action you have been given until you have heard the director call "cut".
* Once a shot is completed and the director has called "cut" the A.D.s may ask you to go to your "first marks" or return "back to one". This means you must return to your beginning position and prepare to shoot the scene again.
DO NOT TALK WHILE ON SET: Always be sure to listen carefully to any direction you are given., and never look at the camera
CAMERAS OR VIDEO ON SET: Still photos or video photography by Background Performers not permitted on set.

GETTING DIRECTION FROM THE AD: Once you go to set the A.D.s will tell you your movement or blocking for a scene. You must remember this as you will need to repeat this exact match movement for different camera angle shots. This is called continuity. It is important that you remember exactly what you did and how you looked in each scene. Most productions will rehearse the movements or blocking of a scene several times prior to filming. When the director feels ready to shoot, you will hear the following prompts or terms.
* The 1st A.D. will call out "roll sound" to initiate sound recording.
* Next, the sound department will call out "sound speed" to confirm that they are recording sound.
* After that, the camera department will sync the film and sound using the time slate or clapper. They may also call out "frame" to confirm that they are filming.
* Then the 1st A.D. will call out "background action" to cue the Background Performers to begin their movement.
* Lastly, the director will call out "action" to cue the actors
* Once the scene is completed the director will call "cut". It is very important that you continue the action you have been given until you have heard the director call "cut".
* Once a shot is completed and the director has called "cut" the A.D.s may ask you to go to your "first marks" or return "back to one". This means you must return to your beginning position and prepare to shoot the scene again.
