Yes, but I was only joking, and for what its worth, I wish you all the luck in the world - HOWEVER - What I posted (in jest) is 100% relevant...

Lets say you did want to drive a fast expensive car... Would you make a post asking if anyone had one you could 'have a go in?' or would you simply book one of the many 'event days' that allow you to do just that?

Example: RedLetterDays

Point being that if you really WANT to do something - You can ! Thats the joy of life ! You CAN DO whatever you want (within reason...) But guess what?

Nothings for FREE !

So, hit up Terry, offer to PAY HIM to shoot you and PAY HIM for a girl... If you do great, you have a showreel... If you cant perform - So what? At least you tried...

Likewise Paul of AIR offers the same service... You PAY HIM - He shoots and arranges the girl etc... But you PAY for it...

Just like the driving experience...

Hell, even I can provide a girl, location, lights, pro shooters, camera equipment and organise the entire thing for you... But, as it would mean me coming out of retirement, I'd ask a lot more than the two suggested people above... So its a moot point...

But what IS the point, is that you IF YOU REALLY want it - Its there - But you need to pay...

No one is gonna organise a shoot, and give you a chance to 'see if you can perform' for FREE - In the EXACT same way as no one is gonna just let you jump in their ferrari, to 'see if you can perform' for FREE...

So go on, knock yourself out... Enjoy it... But dont expect strangers to FUND it for you !

Well actually i phoned the local Ferrari garage and asked and they arranged a trial for 24 hours for me!

The point I would make is that if you don't ask you don't get!

OK, well, in that case "touch?" as they say in the trade...

But if what you say is true, I'm sure the local dealership will have run FULL CREDIT CHECKS on you?

If so, fair play... Enjoy your drive....

However, if you DONT meet the dealerships exacting standards... You would be refused? Yes?

So as such, if you DO HAVE money... Then why NOT PAY YOUR WAY?

Bottom line - If you are purely a chancer... FAIR PLAY - Who can blame you, at this stage of the game...

But if you are serious, I'm sure that you will be attending the UKAP meting in London?



Loads of ACTUAL Producers - Where you can meet face 2 Face? I mean, what can be better than that? People who actually WANT TO PAY YOU TO PERFORM... ???? WHAT COULD BE BETTER THAN THAT?

I'll be there.. WILL YOU?

Blimey!

What Snow Patrol said but failing that most producers of note can do the same thing.If you pay the girl her fee most will work with you as long as you have a recent test and condom or 3 months clean bill of health
