How the process works: we give the content we create to our agencies and then THEY host on their site and/or market to companies. Therefore, we actually don't know who purchases our content unless we happen to come across it online. Most of our content ends up in lifestyle commericials. A few recognizable brands, as examples, that we've seen license our content: Bank of America, Citizen Watches, Bath and Body Works, ABC, and New York Life.

Typically we shoot in 4 hour blocks. The first time, however, we'll typically work with you for 1-2hrs. Think of this as a working interview.

While this varies, typically we work with someone on a first time basis at a rate of $20-30/hr. The shoot will last between 1-2 hours. You can think of this as a working interview. If everyone (included you) decides this is a good fit, we'll schedule you in a future shoot where we'll pay any where from $50-$100/hr and up. NOTE: We also offer building portfolios for those wanting to get starting in modeling. This means that instead of having to pay $thousands in shooting and editing, we can work with you a trade basis, giving you a very polished reel of photos and videos in different genres. This turns out giving you more value than if we were to just pay you for the same amount of time. We can share a couple examples of those we've built, if that's of interest to you.

No! You'd be interested to know that MOST of the people we work with the first time hadn't done any modeling or acting before.

The final clips contain NO audio, so no, you will not be asked to talk on be interviewed on camera part of the shoot. As far as acting, mostly what we are looking are people who can be themselves; be authentic, and genuine. If there is "acting" involved, perhaps it will be subtley acting out different emotions, such as being stressed, happy, or thinking deeply.

A release gives us permission to: 1. Capture you in photos or video 2. Distribute the content and license it to companies 3. Removes the obligation between us other than what we've agreed upon. E.g. You will not obligated to give us anymore of your time than we agreed upon. Releases your interest in the property, meaning: what you are compensated for the shoot is in total what we owe you.

Yes! We will provide 3-5 complimentary photos from each shoot and you are free to post them wherever you'd like. All we ask is that you tag @cine_v. If we are working with you to build your modeling/acting portfolio, you will recieve much more media than that. If you're interested in learning more about how we help models get started, feel free to reach out via the website or Instagram.

Probably not. While there are some special licensing deals that can happen, mostly companies purchase our clips for a modest price or pay our agency a subscription. For example, one of clips ended up in McDonald's campaign and we made $50.

We are looking for ALL KINDS and races of people, from young to elderly. We always trying to build diversity in our portfolio, so we love shooting people of varying ethnic backgrounds. Vinnie is caucasian, but he grew up on a Native American Reservation. Meanwhile, his mentor was African American. You can see that diversity as always been a constant feature!
