Noah
Ref. 1496
Noah had lots of fun filming for the Sainsburys Christmas advert. From leaving home to arriving in London, we were made to feel really special.Being on set was the most exciting part of the shoot. Watching Noah's face light up when the cameras started rolling and when he placed the star on top of the Christmas tree really was priceless. On the second shot, the director confirmed that this was the one, which was very impressive considering Noah's disability. This was a great achievement for him. He was treated with so much respect by the crew who completely catered to all of our needs. Noah bonded with everyone on set, particularly his on screen family which included Jo Burke, Alexander Perkins and a lovely young actress who played his sister. He had so much with them. Noah also loved playing in the dressing room with the Wardrobe Stylist who was wonderful too. Despite it being a long day, Noah smiled the whole time and the everyone on set adored him and thought he was such a special boy. Everyone was amazed by his story.I would definitely recommend this kind of experience. I wish I had signed Noah up with Models Direct from Day 1! Everyone thinks their child is the most gorgeous in the world, but we were being advised us so much to join an agency that we went for it - we just wish we had done it sooner! Every child is different and has their own unique qualities - there is work for everyone out there. I would recommend all parents to sign their children up - go for it, don't even think about it - just do it! There's only you stopping yourself from reaching your goals in life.

My day yesterday in Southampton was more than I expected. The team of organisers and cameramen were so friendly and inviting and very well organised.My day started with being filmed exercising followed by dancing. We then were given coffee and biscuits. I then was filmed making a cake followed by a walk in the garden before lunch. The afternoon consisted of being filmed eating Christmas dinner pulling crackers playing games and having my hair done. It was a very busy day but so much fun with such lovely people to work with.Thank you Models Direct for giving me the opportunity to work with these super fun people and for me to gain more experience in front of the camera.

Phoebe said " at first I was a little nervous as this was my first assignment and didn't know what to expect. The crew were funny and made me and Toby laugh. I had to play games with Toby while photos were taken. I forgot about the camera as I was having fun playing! I learnt that we have to sit up straight and keep smiling as we were playing. I had fun and would like to do it again"
Phoebe had been with Models Direct for two years before securing this assignment posing for Learning Resources catalogue, so you need to be patient and most importantly make sure that your profile is updated regularly.

Krystal for Amelia aged 1

Amelia thoroughly enjoyed her first assignment and loved all the cameras and lights etc. Amelia particularly enjoyed being with her fellow models and has made 2 new friends. The assignment was to be a baby model for Channel 4's "Sex Education Show". Amelia's part in this was to be cared for by 2 teenagers who were asked to change her nappy and feed her. The idea was to show teenagers the consequences of unprotected sex and how much hard work is involved in having a baby. Amelia behaved impeccably and enjoyed all the attention she was getting from the teenagers, presenter, production and crew. We hope any future assignments are as successful as today!

Belicia had a lovely time on her shoot!
Very clear instructions given and lovely communication with the Models Direct team.
She visited the clients location and was able to express her opinion as well as taking some beautiful photos.
She had a wonderful day that was a new experience for her and will help tremendously with her confidence and ability to put herself out there and try new things.
Overall, it was an amazing experience I would highly recommend others to give it a shot and try something new for their children!

He made everyone feel comfortable, kept the energy high, and captured some amazing moments.A huge thank you as well to the shoot promoter, who was absolutely fantastic. She was so friendly, organised, and made everything feel easy and stress-free. She was brilliant with the girls and helped make the whole experience enjoyable for all of us.We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend it. Thank you for making such wonderful memories for our family!

Great experience, as it was my first shoot. Advertising 4 pub brands. Linked to the 6 Nations Rugby tournament. A few of us including myself wore one of the 6 nations Rugby shirt. We had to set the scene meeting friends for a drink and having food when the Rugby is on. Met some great people in the industry with loads of interesting stories. Looking forward to my next one.
