This was Oscar's first assignment and we were not sure how he would react but he is a very friendly and confident kitten as was immediately at home on set with The Walt Disney Company! The film crew were patient with him and he seemed to really enjoy all of the fuss. He gave a great performance and everyone was happy. The information from Models Direct was clear and we knew exactly where to go etc. I hope that Oscar gets many more bookings as he seems to have a talent for being in front of the camera, even if I did feel a bit like the crazy cat lady!

It was lovely to do another modelling assignment for Models Direct.
I got to meet other amazing models in a relaxed environment. Everyone got on really well and we were made to feel at ease.
The shoot was for a well known pub chain and the day went smoothly as we were given clear directions on what to do.
I’m looking forward to my next assignment.

This was Ethan’s second assignment with Models Direct and was slightly different from the first one as this time he was not involved in a TV show but in a large campaign for a top mobile phone provider which included chatting amongst other Models Direct models and a photo shoot. Charlie once again was amazing letting me, (his Mother), know all the information regarding the shoot and keeping me updated with any changes. On the day we were greeted by one of the mobile phone providers staff who was really lovely and talked Ethan through what was expected of him for the morning shoot all the other models present were also from Models Direct and were very lovely and friendly. The shoot was amazing. Ethan really enjoyed all of it and is really looking forward to seeing the results of the campaign when it’s released soon. Thank you once again Models Direct for the opportunity of another amazing project can’t wait for the next one.

Our recent photoshoot was an amazing experience for both our children (ages 10 and 6). The staff were extremely professional and kind, showing particular care and understanding for our daughter’s needs on the autism spectrum. They were experts at managing the session to get the best results out of the kids' hard work while keeping everyone comfortable.

I had losts of support and encouragement from models direct.
I over thought my wardrobe but did take other outfits so was able to read the vibe of the room and change accordingly.

After much waiting I finally played a background scene astanding and chatting it was great fun coming up with conversation topics and expressing in a joyful way.Overall I very much enjoyed the day and a big thanks to all at Models Direct, the production team, staff at Greene King and of course all the other models that I worked with that made me feel welcome

Everybody at Karndean Flooring was most welcoming and made both Fleur (my Great Dane) and I feel at home. We had to complete 3 different shots - two stills and one video. The crews were very patient and explained exactly what they wanted so I was able to direct Fleur accordingly. Fleur and I would definitely like do similar work in the future. The whole day was worthwhile and the venue was very suitable for animals as there was plenty of space for exercising them between shots. My advice to other aspiring pet models and owners? Relax and give it a go!
