Why this is a paid problem

Schedule integrity, edit integrity, and iteration velocity all turn on continuity-ready talent.

Schedule integrity

Saving a shoot day is often worth more than the talent fee itself. The Continuity Desk converts a producer's worst hour of the week into a shortlist they can approve before they go to bed.

Edit integrity

Continuity gaps are expensive to fix and can kill usable footage. Close-enough face / body / hair / silhouette match on the right shot type is the whole game.

Iteration velocity

Performance marketing and CTV creatives are produced in versions, not single hero ads. A versioning continuity desk on retainer is a different kind of asset than a one-off booking.

How a shortlist gets built

  1. 1

    Production-Ready bench first

    We start with the standardized-media, verified-response bench. Most briefs fill from here.

  2. 2

    Partner network second

    When the bench is thin for a brief, we expand to partners — studios, teachers, small agencies, universities.

  3. 3

    Targeted outreach only when needed

    We use outreach when the first two layers aren't enough. Always availability-checked before any candidate appears on a shortlist.

Top use cases

Pickups, reshoots, stand-ins, doubles

Hero talent unavailable. Lighting setup needs efficient blocking. Photo inserts need matching hands or legs. The Desk's bread and butter.

Enterprise authority casting + verified performance roles

Credible exec / clinician archetypes for corporate video; verified dancers and musicians for music video and branded content. Both are high-repeat, retainer-fit categories.

Common questions

What does "availability-checked" mean?

Every candidate on the shortlist has been contacted within the SLA window and confirmed available for the production window. No "she might be free" — only "she is."

Is this celebrity or impersonation work?

No. The Desk explicitly refuses celebrity impersonation briefs and does not do public face search. The bench is gated, with explicit consent and retention controls.

NY/NJ only?

NY/NJ is the core. Corridor expansion (CT/PA/DE/MD/DC) is supported. Global escalation when local supply is thin. Pricing assumes NY/NJ; corridor and global add documented surcharges.

Replacement guarantee?

Yes — an additional shortlist if the first does not yield a viable booking (policy-defined, $300 per role).

Can you handle booking paperwork too?

Yes — Booking Admin add-on ($300 per booked talent): deal memo coordination, hold tracking, logistics confirmation.
