For a small extra fee, I also offer directing service “add ons,” additional services that will help you work in sync with your actors, editors and sound designers.
Each of these services can be added on to the directing service, or as a stand alone package. Please also be aware that each service is an individual service, and therefore each incurs a seperate charge.
ACTING FOR DIRECTORS
Ask any major film festival judge and they will tell you that, after the quality of the story, the second most important element is the quality of the acting. Casting the right actors, getting the most out of your rehearsals, and knowing how to make adjustments on the set are keys to unlocking your actor’s peak performance. From writing your casting notice to watching your videotaped auditions and rehearsals, let me work with you to get the best out of your cast.

EDITING FOR DIRECTORS
There isn’t a director alive who doesn’t want to have a say in how their picture is being cut. So whether you are working beside your editor or manning the controls yourself, a thorough knowledge of the options available to you in the edit room can make the difference between merely linking your shots together and orchestrating an inventive visual symphony.

MUSIC & SOUND DESIGN FOR DIRECTORS
Few people realize that the clarity of the sound they are accustomed to hearing in a movie is the result of adjusting and replacing almost every sound in that environment. But even more than clarity, it is the artistic arranging and mixing of these sounds, whether it’s dialogue, sound effects & ambiance or music, that can profoundly enrich and deepen your audiences’ emotional and intellectual experience. Don’t let the fact that you aren’t a sound techy keep you from taking a hand in the sound design of your picture. Let me help you make decisions about ADR (dialogue replacement), Foleys (sound effects reproduction), and how to find and collaborate with a composer.
