would you get the job? pretend im an art director
Hm....I´m in! Got at least a great smile  Sep 11 06 03:24 pm Link Sep 11 06 03:25 pm Link Sep 11 06 03:26 pm Link parkus photography wrote: not to drag my ass outta retirement. sorry. Sep 11 06 03:27 pm Link the models and photographers are completely separate as far as hiring. However there could be some cross over connection and consideration on who would work good with who. I just wanted more models now to start the process, usually the photographer is involved in selecting the models, unless they are spoke models, etc, but this is just a mock job trying to see the process, the thinking of those who hire us professionally for a job. the art director is going to pitch five photographers and models to HIS client Baskin Robbins, to shoot this shot, he wants a strong hand. He needs to know you can deliver.

My kinda job! That alone would make me S-M-I-L-E-  Sep 11 06 03:44 pm Link I WANT ICE CREAM! ICE CRRRREEEEEEAAAAAMMMMMM! Sep 11 06 03:52 pm Link Well I decided to play along, but not for the job....but to offer some people I browsed for who I thought might be good. I searched ONLY Florida models because that's where i'm from, and because my computer is being slow and I only got through maybe 7 pages before I got annoyed.... But I picked for models: Sarah Long- #64789 Bridgham- #198676 Whitney Cunningham- #212145 The reason I picked all of these models was because while browsing through, their avatar caught my eye, as many girls did, but once I looked in their port that had atleast one great pic with a gorgeous smile and that sparkle in their eye. I'm sure there were many more models, including males, that I could have found...or more models that had not so great avatars but good for the job, but I wasn't going to spend hours doing this little mock up ice cream thing. And for photographers.....only in Florida again.... I gave up after a few pages because my computer is annoying but I chose: Tyat- # 28820 Eric Wimberly- # 104624 There were so many great photogs but alot were very high fashion. I would have looked longer but like I said before, my computer is annoying me. I based looking into ports on avatars, and i'll compare that to a first impression durring a regular casting call type deal. My two cents. And I hope I don't offend anyone by putting them out there. I hope this doesn't turn into a critique thread.

Move over, Albert Watson wants to talk to the AD. Sep 11 06 03:56 pm Link If the game's still open, I'll play. I enjoy periodic humiliation as much as the next guy. When do you want images put up? Sep 11 06 05:55 pm Link OK, I'll throw my hat in the ring. I have a good commercial look. Since it's in a women's magazine, you want the "mom" type. I can pull that off. I cna also pull off youthful and have a great "laughing" look. Very versitile. What do you all think? Sep 11 06 06:01 pm Link W.G. Rowland wrote:

Great quality, but a style I don't posess. Of course, gathering good intelligence won't necessarily mean you survive! Sep 11 06 08:19 pm Link The list closes tonight at 3:00 am i will put on a beret and pretend i am an art director, i will have no emotional attachment , i just want to pick somebody for this job who i think can deliver. This is job specific casting, not getting the job does not mean that you are not good, its just you were not what we (me and my imagination) were looking for. the process: i will look at everybody's port, if you have any shots that are not in your port that you think would nail the job, post them here.

Mint Chocolate Chip Please! Sep 12 06 12:57 am Link maybe a "make a bid" thread on a hypothetical job would be interesting. B, O, Youre ask to shoot 16 models with two trained monkeys on location in spain, its a two week shoot. you are shooting at 12 locations, take into account all cost, your crew cost, travel, food, rvs, kraft services, generators, wages, monkey trainers/handlers ,transportation etc etc. The job is for 20 shots, to run in monkey magazine, national (US) mag, circ 600,000, south american (Continental) circ 150,000 and in a regional part of greenland markets (circ) 10,000 in print, also they want world wide web usage. they want two years usage and do not want a buy out. Breakdown the cost, list them and give me a bid *grin Sep 12 06 01:28 am Link All that research for flight & hotel prices online... would be a pain Sep 12 06 01:30 am Link would you hire me if I made the ice cream eat the model?

It was not about the pay, which i have clearly stated about 5 times already. People post for three reasons, to find out things, to make a joke, or to try to impress you with their knowledge. The latter can be annoying especially when it is unrelated and condescending. Sep 12 06 11:08 am Link I'll make my bid. I will pay you $1,000,000 dollers in a personal cheque if you give me the job. The money wont be tracable and I'll put in a numbered swiss account if you want.

Who got the job? drum roll, model, little apple blossom and photographer jay bowman. i realize people ports are not set up for this specific job and that you could have placed more smiling head shots in, and that is exactly what i would have asked you to do, if this had been a real job and i was really considering you. I looked at everyone port, a few times and made notes, for this job. if you want to know the notes on yourself just email me. i tried to be objective as possible, this was a type specific job, not being picked or higher up on the list, was not luck of the draw, but rather who I felt could deliver on a professional level and has the style and look for this job. models. in order of selection 1. little apple blossom 2. melissa baker 3. maja j 4.
