The figure refers to ONCE's accessible network of international models in the Pearl River Delta. Once the brief is defined, we check each shortlisted model's availability, shoot city, fees and usage rights before confirming the cast with you.
02Can you cast for a specific target market?
Yes. We recommend talent based on your target country or region, audience, brand and role requirements. Wardrobe, props, actions and settings are also discussed in relation to everyday life in that market.
03Can international clients take part remotely?
Yes. Profiles and remote auditions can support casting, followed by discussions of styling, locations, scripts and storyboards before the shoot. Edits are reviewed through the agreed process. Communication methods and approval times are arranged around the project and time zones.
04How are image usage rights agreed?
Before filming, we clarify territories, platforms and duration, including paid advertising, stills, video and re-edits. The project contract and signed release define the final permitted use.
