SHOWREEL EXAMPLES

OUR PROCEDURE

Whether you require a single bespoke showreel scene or a complete showreel from scratch, we ensure the production process is seamless and creative. Here is a brief overview of how we bring your vision to screen:

STEP 01

Let's have a chat

Everything starts with a free, no-obligation chat with our managing director, Pete. He will talk you through the process, answer any questions you have and help you work out what you need. You will discuss dates, locations, supporting actors and anything else that is important to you. Once you are happy to go ahead, a deposit secures your filming date.

STEP 02

Custom Scriptwriting

Once your deposit has been paid, our scriptwriter, Matt, will get in touch to find out more about you as an actor. He will ask about your casting range, the types of characters you would like to play and the kind of scenes you have in mind. He will put together a brief for you to review before writing your scripts, making sure they suit you and give you the chance to show what you can do.

STEP 03

Pre-Production & Casting

While the scripts are being sorted, we can help with the remaining details, including locations and scene partners. Most of our clients arrange these themselves, but we are happy to help if needed. We can source free outdoor locations or find suitable indoor spaces for a rental fee. We handle all the bookings and communication with location hosts at no extra cost. We can also help cast suitable scene partners for free, although you would need to cover the other actors' fees, if applicable.

STEP 04

Time to film

This is where things come together. We will get everything set up, work through the scenes with you and give you time to rehearse before filming. The time we spend on set depends on your package, but our aim is always to get the best possible performances out of you.

STEP 05

Post-Production & Delivery

Once filming is done, Pete takes care of the editing. With over 20 years of editing experience, he will bring your scenes together with professional sound mixing, colour grading and music where appropriate.

Your finished scenes will be ready to upload to casting directories within 10 working days.

Your showreel, your input

We want you to feel involved throughout the process. During filming, you can watch playback between takes so we can review the performances together and make adjustments where needed.

Once the edit is ready, you can also request minor revisions to help make sure the finished scenes are exactly what you had in mind.

    I flew all the way from Copenhagen to London to have my Showreel filmed, and I couldn't have asked for a better director/editor/DOP than Peter. Peter has been an absolute joy to work with. From the very first moment I reached out to him, to the very last correspondence regarding my scene edits, Peter has been every bit the professional you'd expect. He is not satisfied until you are, and will always go the extra mile to ensure that you're happy with the final product.

    During the shoot, Peter's guidance and attention to detail was impeccable, and his focus was laser sharp. I'm beyond pleased with the way my scenes have been shot and edited, and I cannot recommend Filmdock Productions highly enough! If you want someone who's passionate about their craft and has your best interest in mind, look no further than Peter!

    PS: A special shout-out to Esteban, our sound recordist, who was an absolute joy to work with on-set!

    Yes i would highly recommend Filmdock Productions to any actor looking to get a showreel done. My experience i found when approaching this team was very professional. From the Start to the end, Peter and his team made the process very smooth and stress free. They are quick to respond to any questions you may have and i found that to be really beneficial when i needed to change the script around. The shoot day was very enjoyable, Peter is a Fantastic director. From the start he was already blocking everything and by the time we started he had a plan in his head, he never rushed the process he is always trying different ways to shoot the scene, changing filters and even taking us aside to do and say things differently to make the scene better. all this work so he covers all his bases. Most importantly you never feel like you are being rushed in fact Peter insisted we do couple extra takes so he has what he needs. The end result after all this is a high quality, 4K showreel with perfect sound and background music. i was amazed he managed to do this. i cannot thank him and his whole team enough for this. In this day in age there is so many companies that do showreels and they come out mediocre. however if you use this team i promise you, you will have a quality product to show casting directors.

    I had an amazing experience with Peter and the crew; I had a really challenging scene, but Peter took all the stress out of it and not only made it easy but the end result was absolutely stunning! He really went above and beyond to create a beautiful, high spec showreel that exactly matched what I was looking for. His professionalism and attention to detail was brilliant, and his energy and passion for the work was really refreshing- the whole team were a total joy to work with. I can't recommend this company highly enough, I've filmed many projects and done showreel scenes in the past and Filmdock is by far the best I've worked with.

    I had a great time with Filmdock, from the first consultation with Peter, through the scriptwriting process with Matt (loved the scene!), to the shooting day. Peter and Esteban made me feel at ease, despite the freezing wind and mud everywhere! The video and sound quality are awesome, this is going to be a great addition to my showreel. Definitely recommend! Great work guys, hope to see you again soon.
