HeadKase Creations Inc.
About
HeadKase Creations has been operating across Canada for over 15 years in all aspects of the entertainment industry. We specialize in Self-Tapes and cutting high quality demo reels for both Actors and Stunt Performers. We have edited reels for clients both starting their careers and maintaining the high level of professionalism they’ve acquired in their journey. Our keen eye and experience sets our reels apart from others as our staff have been and continue to work in the industry as professional performers. This allows us to stay current with industry standards and what Casting is looking for.
A reel should showcase your talent in a concise and entertaining way that makes whomever is seeing it want to re-watch it over and over. You want everyone in the casting process to see your work and immediately say “That’s them! Their perfect for the role.” Your reel is a tool to help Casting Directors and Stunt Coordinators cast you and should have them in mind during the creation. Leave your ego at the door and think about what they want to see from the work you have done so they can get you cast as fast as possible.
Golden Rule: It’s better to have it and not need it then need it and not have it. Nothing rings truer then having a good demo reel. A great reel can help you open doors and seize opportunities that would otherwise remain closed.

FAQ
What should a great Reel look like?
An acting reel should be under 5min and a stunt reel 1-2min. Casting Directors and Stunt Coordinators are incredibly busy so you need something short and sweet that grabs their attention and, not only makes them comfortable meeting you, but also confident in casting you easily. They should show as much skill and range as possible in that short window.
What do I need to make a Reel?
Professional footage of your work is always the industry standard. However, if you are a newcomer I recommend just shooting whatever you can that show’s off your strongest skills. Cellphones shoot 4K video and lighting tutorials are easily found on YouTube. There are many companies that also offer to shoot professional quality acting scenes that you can use. You don’t need a ton of footage, the key is to put something together that Casting, Agents, or Coordinators can see.
Do you offer Virtual Sessions?
Yes! In fact, many of my clients are from all accross Canada. I have created dozens of reels without ever meeting my clients in person.
Can we update my Reel in the future?
Yes! It’s very important to always keep your reel current and evolving. It’s incredibly simple to add or swap out scenes of a reel once it is compiled. This also saves money in the future if we don’t need to create a new reel from scratch. I store all my clients material for free on an external hard drive specifically for the fast and easy process.
