Modelling jobs and more...

"Ellison is only 8 months old so couldn't say in his own words but I could tell he had a really good day, the actors and Director were really nice with him and got through all scenes needed.
This was a first for Ellison and myself and the whole day was enjoyable and seeing him being a good boy while filming made me smile.Ellison had to be a teething toddler in an internal training Video for Tesco that gave examples of how to and how not to deal with customer service in a pharmacy setting.
This assignment, has given me confidence that Ellison interacts extremely well with other Actors/Models and is still happy no matter what the situation.It was a fun day out and gave me a sense of pride and also a nice little bit of money for his savings account for when hes older.
We don't live in or around London so opportunities in acting/modeling there never even come up in this area. Joining an Agency like Models Direct gives us the opportunity to be put forward for exciting opportunities. Models Direct works on your behalf and do the job hunting for you. We have been registered with Models Direct for only a few weeks and he has already had his first job.We signed Ellison up as a bit of fun more than anything. Obviously as his parents we feel he has one of the cutest little faces we have seen :) and would love to flick through pictures or films with him in when he is older. Plus what ever money we get out of this can go into a savings account for when he is older.

I recently participated in a booking for a new campaign which must remain confidential at this moment.
Photos and videos were taken of us and we got to talk about digital wellbeing in an interview with a real presenter.
I met new kids who are also with models direct who are interested in the same thing as me and we got to know each other have fun and experience shoots together.
I hope there are many more opportunities like his for me in the future.

LUXURY PET CLOTHING AND ACCESSORIES
When I saw the advertisement from Models Direct for a dog model, our Sid sounded like he'd fit the bill! He had recently modelled in a local photo shoot for a clothing brand and he was the star of the show!The shoot we attended was for a London based dog clothing and accessories brand that are launching this September and needed some photos for the website and other relevant media. It helped when I was giving Sid commands so that he posed well, and he also got lots of treats for being good. He sat well for what they needed and fell asleep a few times on set - which was sometimes perfect for the image of the photo, but sometimes we did have to wake him up!As he is only five months we were a little worried about his reaction to trains, tubes and the business of London travelling in peak times but he was brilliant and even fell asleep a few times on the journey.The best part of the day for Sid was all the fuss and treats he was getting. He learnt a lot from the day and it did wonders for his training. It’s certainly made me more confident in taking him places and being able to trust his behaviour in different circumstances and environments.I would recommend to other puppy owners to do something like this because it’s excellent for socializing your pup and getting some lovely photos of them while they are still small!We would love to do more of these shoots and hope to build him a portfolio that will allow us to do so more often. It was a great experience for him so we would like to keep it going!
