Talent discovery & shortlists
Find the people. Look closer at the work.
Start with the craft a production needs. Move from public portfolios to a considered review process with your team, keeping the role in view.
01 / Discover performers & crew
Look at the work behind the profile.
A portfolio, profession view and credits give you more context than a name alone. Look at a performer's reel, a cinematographer's images or a sound professional's samples through the lens of your role.
- Search performers and crew by department, profession, location or keyword.
- Review the person's contribution and relevant credits rather than assuming a match.
- Save promising talent in your account and invite them to consider an opportunity.
02 / Build a shortlist
Keep candidate reviews connected.
An application connects a person to a specific role. Review with colleagues, compare relevant work and keep useful context alongside the decision.
- Review applications against the requirements of the position.
- Build shortlists and compare candidates using the work they submit.
- Capture role-relevant evaluation notes with your team; internal evaluations are not shared with artists.
03 / Move towards a decision
Make the next request count.
Not every role needs an audition. Review the submitted work against the brief. When a performance role needs an audition or self-tape, make the purpose and preparation clear.
- Set preparation instructions, dates, and response deadlines.
- Coordinate schedules and review requested self-tapes in the casting context.
- Record selection and booking outcomes once your team has made its decision.
Useful distinctions
A little more clarity.
Can I explore artists before creating a banner account?
Yes. Public artist profiles are available to browse. Saved talent, invitations, and casting actions belong in your signed-in workspace and are subject to approval and access permissions.
Is an invitation to apply a booking?
No. It invites an artist to consider the opportunity. Applications, auditions, selection, and booking are distinct steps.
Does verification mean Clapperboard endorses the artist or production?
No. Identity verification and project-credit verification are separate checks. They do not constitute platform endorsement or guarantee a casting outcome.
