Dolphin Talent’s Acting + Industry Guide

As we continue to reach out to educators and talent across the country to help them navigate the entertainment industry, we are proud to announce another addition to our company.  The latest chapter in Dolphin’s story is the birth of Dolphin Digital Media.

We are deeply troubled by the preponderance of predators and inappropriate content on the internet. We have devoted our time and resources to developing state-of-the-art technology that protects children when they are online by blocking unsuitable material, and, in a social chat setting, helping to authenticate who they are “chatting” with through state-of the-art fingerprint identification technology.  We are proud of this significant contribution to the effort to keep our children safe and are thrilled that Dolphin Digital Media, a creator of secure social networking websites for children, has announced September 29th as the launch date for their signature product, Dolphin Secure.

Dolphin Secure is a groundbreaking family Internet solution that gives parents the tools to protect their children from online threats such as cyber bullying and unsolicited chat requests while they are using their home computers. Children registered within Dolphin Secure automatically become members of Dolphin Surf, which is a customizable gateway to the internet with full social networking capabilities, wherein the children can establish profiles, search for friends, IM one another, write blogs, upload photos and play games.

Dolphin Secure will debut next week, and it will change the face of internet safety. It is testament to our continued investment in the World’s children.

First let’s address the difference between a theater performance and a film one.

In a theater performance you:

• Have to speak loud and clear (The person in the back of the auditorium wants to hear you!)

• Can use the entire stage (Only the stage set your limits.)

• Will run from page one until the end

In a film performance you:

• Speak in a normal voice (You can blow out the sound man’s ear if he is not ready for you to project.)

• Have limited space to perform (You will be surprised to see how tight the shot can be.)

• Never shoot in order (Normally you shoot in order of location.)

• Have different types of shots  (like a close up, mid shot or long shot, whereas in theatre the audience can choose where on stage to look)

After all these considerations, you must realize that in making your performance from theater to film, it will take a lot longer to shoot for film than acting it out once on stage.  So make sure you project less, stay in frame for the shot and know your lines well since the scenes are shot out of order!
