Who Need's a Comp
Card
Comp Cards is a tool needed by most
persons in the Entertainment Business;
Comp Cards "Composite Photo Card" are also known
as "Zed Cards", or "Composite Sheets".
Comp Cards, in many cases are used by
Actors, and people who seek employment in the Entertainment Business as a
tool to market their physical appearance or “Visual Talent”.
A Comp Card can provide a combination of
pictures and basic stats on card stock, rigid paper or online. Comp Cards
may be printed in black and white, color and/or a combination of both.
Traditionally everything was done in black and white but now days using
color comp cards it depicts the natural beauty of the Model/Actor.
Paper Comp Cards are the standard
marketing tool that have been used for many years and are still very
essential to have today.
A Model is marketed typically by a
Modeling Agent who uses the comp cards to show a potential employer what
the model looks like. Using this tool the agent may hand over the comp
card to the potential employer so that he/or she may use at a later date
as a reference, whether it be before or after the interview. Headshots
are frequently used by “Actors” more than models.
In today’s market, e-comp cards or online comp cards, are
being used to market to a wider audience. There are many Modeling Agency’s
that only use this method but we recommend using both tools to maximize
the opportunity of obtaining employment. It is the responsibility of the
Model/Actor to provide their Agent (Agency or Manager) with Comp Cards or
Head Shots to market your image and stats. Some agency’s provide their own
photographer but may cost you a fortune.
