Whatever style you prefer, you’ll be able to find a lamp you like in our wide selection. How do you choose a floor lamp? It doesn’t matter how old you are – it’s how old we believe you are. Nowadays I see more and more people putting their actual age and, speaking for myself, as long as you’ve taken note of point one above, it’s never made me not call someone in that I would have. So I’d say that’s entirely your call. However, this could be a pro if the power goes out or you’re on a boat or camping. Rechargeable spotlights typically rely on USB chargers, so they aren’t much use if there isn’t a power supply to plug it into when they die. IP Rating
Casting directors can’t always watch a whole showreel so make sure to open strong. Re-editing your showreel can make it feel completely new and a simple edit can change everything. Make sure your strongest scene is at the beginning of the showreel. Don’t start with montages or still photographs, casting directors want to see you act. Self-tapesBreak your credits down into categories. It makes it so much easier for us to be specific about what we’re looking for. And finally, remember, we’re all in this industry to see and help each other succeed. Auditions can be stressful and are often last-minute but never forget casting directors really only ever want to find the right person for the job so don’t fear them. If you need a spotlight for emergency use, setting up camp at night, or clanging around in your basement, these can handle it all. We all love sharing photos on social media, but sometimes a photo is better suited for your Facebook profile than your Spotlight one. Always keep in mind that your Spotlight profile is like your CV, so think about what a photo is saying about you professionally before adding it. Showreels As a general rule, having lots of these types of pictures just shows that you’re not lying on your credit list and that you can wear a costume. It doesn’t tell us very much! So, unless there’s a really good reason to include them, I’d not go overboard here. Again, see the printing note above.
Take a look at your photos. Do they still look like you? Are there too many? Casting directors tell us they only like to see 4-5 images of various expressions so less is definitely more. You don’t need to add production shots, just photos from your most recent headshot session.
Try to film a self-tape as soon as you reasonably can to give yourself time to fix any problems. We know sometimes it can be hard, especially if you have been given a short amount of time to prepare, but often the casting director will be eager to see tapes from the moment that the first one is submitted.
While a good flashlight has its place in your tool collection, if you need maximum power and range, you’ll need a spotlight. These powerful lights have ergonomic grips that are easy to hold for a long time, often with multiple handles for using them in different ways. Their wide lenses and bright lumen outputs make them an asset for emergencies, and they usually illuminate a wider area more clearly than flashlights can. Some spotlights even include a stand that lets you place them on the ground and angle them at your workspace so you can keep your hands free. Different types of floor lamps provide different types of lighting. Standing standard lamps like ÅSTRID are generally for the benefit of the whole room. Task lighting on the other hand, like our RANARP lamp, focuses lighting in one area, perfect for reading or writing. Uplighters, like our NOT lamp for example, point towards the ceiling, which helps illuminate the whole room. Include the year. If you don’t it makes us suspicious that you’re trying to hide a long period of unemployment. Ensure that you have a language and accent marked as native on your profile. This is so you’ll appear in all of the appropriate searches. Be honest about your casting type There’s plenty of different styles of floor lamps to choose from. For example, the upright, tripod and arc floor lamps are available in a variety of materials, including copper-coloured metallics and woods. Wooden floor lamps are ideal for bringing some subtle texture into your home. If you prefer modern floor lamps that give a clean and tidy look, choose materials like metallics and tinted or shaded glass.
Where should you put floor lamps?
Tell us where you trained and when you graduated. Most of us have been to your showcases and, whilst we may not immediately remember your name, this might help to jog our memory. Also the simple truth is that, as a huge generalisation, good training creates good graduates so it’s an important piece of information for us to be reminded of. Keep your professional credits up to date and spelt correctly. Make sure to fill out every field possible as casting directors will often search by production, director, etc. If you’re using your spotlight around moisture or liquid like rain, use a model with an official waterproof IP rating. This rating denotes how effectively your spotlight is protected from damage due to dust (the first digit of an IP rating, measured on a scale from 1 to 6) or water (the second digit, measured from 1 to 8). For instance, an IP68 spotlight is totally dust- and waterproof.
