Information about becoming an extra.
Albuquerque is experiencing an explosion of film-making in the area, and most films need a good supply of extras.
Here are a few frequently asked questions:
Do I need to be beautiful to be an extra?
No, movie extras come in all ages, sizes, shapes, colors, and looks.
How much does an extra get paid?
Not much. Usually, minimum wage. If you are doing this to earn a living, you need to pick a different career.
How long is a typical day's work?
The movie industry works very long hours, and a 10 to 14 hour work day is not uncommon.
What if I can't be available all day?
Don't be an extra.
Is a cattle call for a western? What if I don't have any livestock?
A cattle call refers to a mass casting call, where hundreds are seen in an afternoon for a very brief amount of time.
How do I find out about when a movie needs extras?
There are several ways to find out about extras casting calls. You may hear about one on the radio, tv, or in the newspaper. A more effective way to get on as an extra is to be represented by an Extras Casting Director.
View a listing of extras casting agents in your area (search the production services directory for Casting, Extras and Extras Casting Director respectively).
Does it cost money to be listed with an Extras Casting Director?
No, there should be no cost to be listed. The Casting Director may take a portion (10 percent) of your wages if you are selected.
What is a head shot? Does it cost money?
Do not spend a lot of money on a head shot when you are just getting started. Have a friend take a digital picture of you, and make your own head shot listing your name, cell phone, sizes, previous experience on a set or in theatre, and any special talents you have. Keep it to one page only.
I can juggle chain saws, should I list that?
I can't swim, but they are looking for swimmers. Should I say I can in hopes of getting the part?
No, don't lie.
What is it like on a movie set?
Boring, generally. Bring a book to read, knitting, etc etc.
Can I talk to the director?
The lead actor, actress, or director is my hero. Can I ask her for an autograph?

The Christmas Spirits:
These three spirits are used somewhat as plot devices, in my opinion, and are great founts of information. Although they often speak in riddles, the Christmas Spirits have the best interests of others at heart, and even think that the Rotten King and the Big Bad Wolf have SOME scrap of good inside of them... somewhere. However, they are willing to aid people against enemies, if only to teach them a lesson.
The Spirit of Christmas Past appears as a female, anthropomorphic candlestick (complete with dripping wax and flame), with an enormous candle extinguisher attatched to a giant ribbon attatched to her hand (the candle extinguisher moves independently). She is quite kind, and has the ability to see that which has been. She has a kindly voice, and her smile appears to all as the smile of the kindest person they know.
The Spirit of Christmas Present appears as a massive, jolly man with flaming red hair in a green robe and a wreath of holly. He carries in one hand a torch whose light warms the heart, and under his other arm is a horn of plenty, which can fit hundreds (perhaps even thousands) of items in it at the same time. He is the keeper of two nasty children, named "Ignorance" and "Want", and warns people to beware both, but especially Want. His robe is somewhat patched nowadays, and his golden horn of plenty is a bit rusty, but its barely noticable. He speaks in a deep, booming voice, and reminds many of Santa Claus or Father Christmas. He has the power to see that which is.
The Spirit of Christmas Future appears as a gaunt, almost emaciated figure who looks like a cross between the Grim REaper and a Dementor (Dementors, for those of you who haven't red the Harry Potter series, are gaunt figures in tattered robes with slimy, scaberous hands). A single candle rests on his skull, burning an eerie blue flame... the same shade of blue as what's emenating from his nose-hole, eye-sockets, and mouth. He carries a scythe, and is the most menacing of the Christmas Spirits, despite the fact that he's actually a nice guy. He prefers not to speak, preferring to nod or shake his head or shrug to yes-or-no questions, and point if an explanation is required. This is because he's actually quite embarassed at his voice, which sounds like a slightly high-pitched, nasally Beatle who sniffs a lot when he talks. He has the ability to see what could be (I say "could be" because someone can always change a person's future in the present time). Of the Christmas Spirits, he appears to be the most changed, his robes looking quite tattered and his scythe perpetually bloody.
For more information on the Christmas Spirits, read Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol.

Serve the digital consumer with an integrated experience on demand
The average person in the U.S. checks her smart phone 34 times per day.1 More video is uploaded to YouTube in one month than the three major U.S. networks created in 60 years.2 And 61 percent of Americans said it would be easier to live without air travel than the Internet.3
Today, digital disruptions abound, meaning that the connected consumer rarely offers undivided attention. That means media and entertainment companies have to reshape their customer value proposition and redefine their operation model. That means finding new ways of developing, distributing and monetizing their product in order to remain competitive.
In an effort to better understand this consumer and identify how the digital lifestyle effects media consumption, The IBM Institute for Business Value surveyed over 3,800 consumers in six countries: the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Japan, and China. The research identified the four distinct global digital behavioral profiles:
With 41 percent in this category, these respondents use digital devices and services to simplify day-to-day activities. Efficiency experts send emails rather than letters, use Facebook to communicate with others, access the Internet via mobile phones, and shop online.
Place emphasis on social interaction – they require instant access to friends, regardless of time or place. Fifteen percent of consumers surveyed reported they frequently maintain and update social networking sites, add labels or tags to online photos, and view videos from other users.
Are generally male consumers, who frequently play online games, download movies and music, and watch TV online. This audience represents 9 percent of the global sample.
35 percent of those surveyed take a more advanced approach to media consumption by using mobile devices and smart phone applications to access games, music, and video or to check news, weather and sports, etc.
Changing up the playlist
In response to this pervasive digital disruption, media companies around the world need to accelerate their change programs across several dimensions. One approach is to augment physical products and services with digital content, information, insight and engagement. The customer experience must be enhanced across multiple touch points and integrated across platforms to help increase sales and extend offerings.
Here are three recommendations to help achieve that transformation:
Build direct consumer interactions, where feasible. For example, set up and use company websites to make the most of customer feedback on the entire content experience―from sampling to purchase to ownership or rented access. Learn more about what it means to become a social business.
Access and aggregate any direct consumer information you can, partnering as necessary to find the data you need. Understanding your consumer will help identify the levels of interaction required with both content and fellow audience members to satisfy key consumer constituencies.
Wring out compelling consumer insights down to relevant micro-behavioral segmentation levels. In the future, such consumer insights will drive, for example, story-branching with tailored endings being delivered to individual consumers via different devices. Learn more about how smarter analytics can help.
For today's digital media company, the operating model is the first level of change. It must be realigned so that customer preferences and requirements inform every activity in the buying and selling value chain―from content creation to promotion, sales, delivery and service. Doing this requires the integration of business activities across the supply chain and a clear understanding of how data related to those activities is managed, tracked and optimized.
Broadband and interconnected devices are spreading exponentially, with global media tablet shipments alone expected to exceed 44.6 million in 2011―a jump of over 160% from 2010's 16.9 million.4 Every day, media and entertainment organizations are taking steps to increase their efficiency, create new digital experiences and engage their customers with a smarter media experience. Those that don't are likely to be left behind.

Resident Jim Dutton has had multiple run-ins with local officials since he began voluntarily caring for a number of strays after the city closed its dog pound in June of 2011.
"I was working in my yard at about 1:30 p.m. on Monday afternoon when a police officer showed up and gave me a ticket for allowing dogs to run at large," said Dutton.
"He said an 18-year-old was bitten someplace by my house," added Dutton. "I looked around and asked him which of the six-or-seven dogs we could see laying in my neighbor's yard was the one I was being accused of letting run at large, and which one was suppose to be mine.
"The officer said he had no idea but he was issuing a ticket as the kid filed a complaint."
Drew Police Chief Simon Bush said he could not comment on the incident as it is still under an active investigation.
Dutton claimed he has never declared ownership of the dogs.
"I keep telling the city these are not my dogs — these are the city dogs. I have no liability for any of them."
He was charged with destroying city property and trespassing in July when he cut locks at the pound in an effort to save starving dogs being kept in filthy conditions — despite the fact the pound was officially closed for more than a year.
Charges against him were dropped as Drew Municipal Judge Boyd Atkinson ruled city dogcatcher Floyd "Bob" Fredrick had no authority to charge him.
Dutton said he remains baffled as to why Frederick continues to receive a monthly paycheck from the city and how dogs keep making their way into a closed facility.
Dutton has also been instrumental in forming the group SCARS (Second Chance Animal Rescue Shelter of North Mississippi) in an attempt to humanely care for the stray animals.
The local committee is waiting for acceptance of its application as a non-profit entity to operate a shelter independently from the city.
Dutton said he has a Dec. 3 court date for the ticket he received on Monday.

One week after Thanksgiving, the notes of "I'm thankful for…" have started to slow and will eventually come to a halt. It's also three weeks after the national presidential election and the clever memes have all but become a distant memory. So what really has staying power in a society that seems to have collective attention deficit disorder? Business, commerce and the belief that if you work hard enough, prosperity will come to you.
In Chicago alone, there are 293,400 woman-owned businesses and counting. Almost 6,300 business licenses were administered between January 1 and August 31 of this year, and in 2011, Chicago saw its largest patent distribution in over a decade. Yes, there are signs of defeat with empty store fronts in every neighborhood, crime rates reaching absurd heights and unemployment still too high, but the one thing that has stayed constant has been the people behind those neighborhood businesses. They don't flee their community when times get hard or abandon the core of their being – the entrepreneurial spirit.
So why do they do it? Why do entrepreneurs continue to build in the City of Big Shoulders? "I've always wanted to do my own thing, and I came across this kitchen and I thought it [Lincoln Park] was an ideal location," says Christine McCabe, proud owner of recently opened Interurban Café and Pastry Shop (click here to learn more). Laurie Gawinski Sharfman says, "It's freedom to have a family and expand my business on my schedule!" Freedom and flexibility are common themes from respondents on the WBDC Facebook wall as well as with many conversations I've had with entrepreneurs. Estaban Marin, a WBDC client located in the Little Village neighborhood, says, "My goal is to be able to create a solid foundation for my business to grow and increase revenue to positively impact my community."
The "spirit of the season" will start to fade all too quickly, but try to give it sticking power! Go out into your community and support those that support you. Think of the little things you can do because they add up – for every $100 spent at a locally owned store, $68 stay within the community. Meaning $68 goes into the schools, the roads and the safety of your community every time $100 is spent at a local business. Don't wait around for Small Business Saturday every November, but instead think about how you can support the cycle of success.
