Self-tapes include a stills-style hold and a short movement. We do not cast from a single smiling headshot.
Wardrobe tests on camera, in the key we intend to use. Fabric that photographs well in a phone snap can fail under HMI.
Agencies get selects with notes on motion, not only beauty. The person who ‘looks like the deck’ still has to walk.
Background talent is scheduled, not hoped for. A documentary-looking office still needs people who can ignore the camera.
Releases are signed before wrap, including stills usage. A film release that forgets print is a lawyer’s letter in month four.
Saleone produces commercial stills and short films from Timișoara. We plan photography and motion on one plot so a campaign does not split between two vendors. The suite on Piața Unirii holds tabletop, a compact cyc, and a colour desk. Location days stay in the ochre lanes we recce first.
