It is unprofessional..but you might as well go and try and since you have video experience already, I think you will be alright. I would get some made ASAP though if you plan on going to any more castings. Hope this helps smile

How did you score your previous 2 video shoots? Were you not given a copy of the video or any photos from the shoot?

Just bring a headshot.  If you have a resume put in on the back.  Music videos are kind of inbetween modeling and acting, so a headshot will do.  Odds are, there will be actors there who don't have comp cards.  I've gone to a print casting where out of the 100 people there, maybe 20 had comp cards.  Most were sent from acting agencies because they were looking for "real" people and character actors.  As long as you have something to leave behind that's all tht matters.  I've gone to many auditions where they tell you to just bring yourself because they take a polaroid of you there.

Fairway (http://www.fairwayprinting.com/) is pretty reasonable. I don't know of any printing places that will do your cards the same day. It shouldn't matter that much about a comp card...if it is a good casting, they will take a polaroid of you when you arrive.
Anyway, it's just a casting, right? Don't stress out too much:)

i've heard of models who may have 2 different sets of comp cards. One that is more commercial and another that has more urban type of pics. In Atlanta its both so urban and commercial at the same time that many of my friends find that they can be doing both with the right pics.

Any other models have done this before?
