Bouncy Boxer Media LLC

All sales are final and not subject to a refund. All initial deposits are non-refundable even if you are the one canceling the session. Shoot dates for the demo can be moved once; however, there is a $100 fee if moved or canceled within 48 of the session. Any reschedules after the first are subject to an additional $100 rescheduling fee and/or termination of contract

​

• What if I do not know what types of scenes I want to do?

  • ​We suggest you consult your acting coach or watch what's popular in TV/film currently. If it's not a good fit to do a demo reel session now, then make sure you know what you want before we begin this process. ​​​

• Can you just write me a bunch of scenes and I choose one?​

  • Your scenes are custom written for YOU! Since the writing process takes a lot of time and in business time is money, we do need to be able to use our time wisely. Before we can start the writing process, we need to be sure you're serious about your session. The non-refundable deposit not only ensures you will be doing your session, but also allows us to do any hiring if necessary for your session. ​​

• I want to see all the takes to see if I had a better performance. Can you send me the files?

  • When you sign up for a demo reel session with us, you are getting qualified editing that focuses solely on your performance quality. We take all angles and performance details in careful consideration when creating your scene and edit. If you want to have the raw footage, that will need to be discussed separately. We do not typically give the raw footage, but we can offer a quote if this is something you feel strongly about.​

• Do you offer any additional discounts?

  • Because we offer already low, competitive pricing, we do not have any offers for additional discounts. We are a small business and hire locally so we do need to be able to pay for our crew as well as our business expenses. We appreciate your business and want to give you a quality product at an affordable price.​

  • Periodically, we do offer some one day specials so be sure you follow Bouncy Boxer media on social media for any announcements. 

• I feel like I could have done my scene better and want to redo it. Can you do that? 

  • In our Policies, we specifically ask that you come prepared with your lines and ​be ready to go. We do give you adequate rehearsal time before we film. The preparation of your character is not our responsibility. It is up to you to bring your best performance. We do coach on site and offer additional coaching prior to your session. So if you do want to redo your session, it will be for the same price due to the rehire of local crew and more labor for the editor.

• Are you casting? I do not want to pay for a demo reel scene.

  • As a production company, we do have projects continually going on. When we do castings, we use Actors Access and occasionally post in Facebook casting groups. As a working actor, this should be part of your due diligence. You can keep up with our castings there.​

• I have footage but it's not the greatest. Can you do some work to it?

  • At an additional fee, we can work on cleaning up sound and coloring as best we can. There is no guarantee, however, and this fee covers the time it takes our editor to work on this. ​

• I want to do a scene based in the 70s. Do you do that?​

  • Period pieces are more complex than the scenes we provide. This takes careful planning for location, wardrobe, production design, and continuity. This is something a full production would need to do. For additional fees, we can work together to make this a full production if you want this scene or short film. Contact us for more details.​​

• What's the difference between a stand in and a scene partner?

  • A stand in is a person who is reading lines off camera and is not a focus in your scene. This is a person who will be in your scene without the need to truly act in it. See an example here for our scene, Makeover, with Natalie West as the client and Stefanie Davis as the stand in.​

  • A scene partner is an actor playing off your performance and getting their coverage as well. If we provide one, there is a $125 fee associated so we can compensate them for their time. If you provide one and they would like to get a scene cut with their performance highlighted for their reel, you can split the cost. If they do not want footage, then no problem. They'll be in your scene but will not receive an edit for their reel and the focus is mostly on you. See an example here for our scene, Goodbye Sis - Louis Joseph and Goodbye Sis - Shawn Bongiorno. Both were scene partners and each received an edited scene with focus on them.

• Why did you change your prices? Can you honor your previous packages?

  • As we grow as a business, we learn from our past. With any new product, changes will need to be made in order to benefit both the business and the client. Prices and policies can change at any time to further assist both parties. The prices honored are the ones on the website, which is the most up to date. We're learning what's best for you as well as what's best for us to continue to give you these products. We cannot honor a previous price point once we've changed it. If we have an arrangement, it will be explained via email or written contract of some form. ​

• I need a stunt scene for my reel. Do you do that?

  • For an additional fee, we can bring in a stunt consultant. Depending on the type of ​scene you want to do, more equipment would need to be brought in. If you are currently working with a stunt teacher, we can work with them to find a solution. Our first priority is safety, so all parties must be signed off by a stunt professional before shooting.
