DeclineWhen a Talent Representative opens the Eco Cast invitation, you see a list of your clients and the roles they’ve been asked to audition for. The invitation also includes any video, sides, and other files the casting director wants you to use.
Click Expand on the Eco Cast bar to see the project title, date, and any instructions.
Click Collapse to get a section out of the way.
Click the Tips button to download a PDF file about video settings.
Click the Dos and Don'ts button for advice on shooting your video audition at home or in the office.
You can act on the invitation in these ways:
If a client is not available for the project:
Click Decline Invite,
then OK to confirm.
The next dialog box lets you give the casting director a reason for
declining.
Enter your optional text and click Decline.
If multiple videos are requested, you can send up to five video files for each actor. All videos for an individual actor must be submitted together. However, each actor's videos can be sent whenever they're ready. Each video clip can be no larger than 100 mb.
NOTE: Be sure to use only the best take: once you have submitted an actor's video, there is no opportunity to make any changes.
When you’re ready to send videos to casting, click the Upload Videos link.
When you click Upload Video the uploader appears:
Click Attach Video and select the file from
your computer. The upload starts immediately.
If you have more than one, you do not need to wait for the processing
to complete before selecting another file.
The progress bar will show you each step as the files are uploaded and processed.
When you are done, click Back to Invitation.
Back on the invitation page, all your uploaded videos appear under Pending Eco Cast Videos. (If you don't see them, click Expand.) You can upload client videos as they come in or wait and do them all at once.
You may want to allow some or all of your clients to respond directly to the invitation. In that case:
Click the checkbox for the appropriate actors, and click Forward to Selected.
In the dialog box, click the link next to an actor's name to give them permission to submit directly to the Casting Director. By default, all videos must first be approved by you, to allow you the option of requesting a retake if necessary.
Enter an optional message that will accompany the forwarded invitation.
Click Forward.
