- What
is an Extra?
An extra is used to provide "background atmosphere" in a
scene. It is a non-speaking part although key to the production.
- Do
you need experience to be an Extra?
No experience is needed.
- How
much money can I earn?
If you are a non-experienced extra, you are classified as
Non-Union and currently earn $50 for up to eight hours.
You are guaranteed a minimum of $50 even if you work less
than eight hours. Everyone earns overtime after eight hours,
so the longer you work, the more you earn. Typical shoot
days last 10-14 hours per day.
- How
many hours must I commit?
We ask that when you confirm to work for us that you have
the entire day open, possibly 10-14 hours. We realize that
our extras have other commitments such as school or a job
so we ask that you carefully schedule these commitments
so that they won't conflict with your day on the set.
- Is
food provided?
Snacks and beverages are provided for you throughout the
day. If you work longer than six hours, a complete hot meal
will be provided for you. You are welcome to bring water,
juice or soda and any personal favorite snacks but it is
not mandatory.
- Do
I have to wear my own clothing?
You will always be expected to bring your own clothing unless
your character wears a uniform, such as a police officer
or nurse. In that case a uniform will be provided for you.
Please sure to be accurate with your size information on
our Profile Sheet.
- Can
I bring guests?
No children, friends, family or pets are permitted with
you on the set at any time.
- What
do I need to bring besides clothing?
It is always wise to bring a small folding chair with you
and clothing and other items (sunscreen ,etc.) pertinent
to San Diego's weather.
- How
often can I check in for available work?
You can be available as little as once a year or as much
as everyday. You can call our office at (858) 974-8970 once
a week with your availability.
- What
should I do if I need to cancel?
If you need to cancel working for us after you have already
confirmed, please let us know immediately by calling our
office. Don't just "no-show" as we need to find a replacement
for you and the more time we have to do so, the better.
