Your Member Benefits

*NOTE: For the FREE member benefit shoots, there is limited availability during the week. We book Tuesday-Thursday in the morning between 9:30am-11:00am and in the afternoon from 1:00pm-3:30pm most weeks.*

Free Headshot

Each member is entitled to one free headshot per year. The shoot takes place upstairs at the SCCAOR office and you will usually receive your completed headshot the next day. We provide you with two files upon delivery; one with a textured gray background and the other with a transparent background that offers you flexibility if you choose you want a different background later on.

Shoots take about 15 minutes and you can wear anything you’d like just please don’t wear green, as we shoot against a green background which allows us to remove the background later on.

    • Just don’t wear green. Anything else is fair game.

Free Video Resumé

Each member is entitled to one free, minute and a half video resumé per year. The shoot takes place upstairs at the SCCAOR office and you will usually receive your completed video within a week. We provide you with a completed video file upon delivery, in an mp4 format.

Shoots take about an hour; the first 30 minutes we go over the script and any changes, the second half of the appointment we’re shooting. You can wear anything you’d like just please don’t wear green, as we shoot against a green screen which allows us to remove the background later on.

Video Resumé FAQ’s

  • WHAT SHOULD I WEAR?
    • Just don’t wear green. Anything else is fair game.
  • HOW LONG WILL THE SHOOT TAKE?
    • Shoots usually take about an hour to complete. When you first come in we run through the script a little and then we start rolling. The majority of people do about three takes. Then we take the best parts from each and stitch them together
  • DO I NEED TO MEMORIZE MY SCRIPT?
    • Nope. We will have your script queued up on our teleprompter and you’ll read from that.
  • WAIT, I NEED A SCRIPT?
    • Yes, but don’t panic. Once you submit a request for a video appointment we send you a Google Doc that you can fill out. Once you’ve done so we move forward with scheduling your appointment. I.e. Your completed script is your ticket to an appointment.
  • HOW/WHEN WILL I GET MY VIDEO?
    • Turnaround time is typically a week and you will receive an MP4 file via email.
      • NOTE: Editing videos does take a bit more work than a photo. Sometimes it takes a little longer to complete the videos. But don’t worry if it’s taking a little longer than usual we will provide you with a progress report.
  • WHAT IF MY QUESTION ISN’T ANSWERED IN THIS SECTION?
    • When you submit your request go ahead and throw any other questions are way!
