We’ve gathered the key unwritten rules of set etiquette to help you navigate with ease.
First of all be respectful and always follow instructions given by production representatives.
Upon arrival to set you will meet procedures mentioned below:
1. Check-in:
Production representative will give you instructions and your voucher.
Your voucher will keep track of the hours you work andwhat project you work on.
Your voucher is a legal document so treat it like money and fill it out as accurately as possible. Sign your voucher with production representative in the end of working day before you leave. This is the only way of getting paid for your time on set.
2. Makeup and wardrobe:
After check-in registration you will be sent to the person responsible for makeup, hair and wardrobe.
Hair.
Come hair and make-up at least 90% ready.
Wardrobe.
Be prepared to bring a few sets of clothes and shoes with you. Production should inform you by email before the shoot day about the type of clothes required.
Do not bring any patterns and things with obvious logos.
Tattoos.
If you have tattoos, try and bring pieces that will cover them. It makes it easier for the make-up team.
3. On set:
Respect The Acting Process and ask first. Be a team player.
Wait for your turn, be quiet, don’t touch equipment and follow instructions and director’s corrections.
Do not leave the set. If you need to do something let a Production Assistant know and ask if there's time.
Don’t post anything about set on social media until afterthe show has aired.
Enjoy the experience.
4. End of set day:
Make sure you return all the clothes used for the shoot to the wardrobe.
Sign your Voucher.

You will receive payment cheque to your mailing address directly from production within 2-4 weeks.
After getting cheque please send a copy of it to our email: …Subject of email "Show name/ your name / date of work" We need it to be sure that you were paid and to send you our commission payment details.
If you didn’t get payment from production during 4 weeks, please send us an email.
