CLOS for Casting Directors

Short answer

Casting directors can run castings without geography limiting the pool. You direct talent live on any phone from a browser, capturing consistent, full-resolution digitals with the same settings for every candidate, while clients and producers watch the session in real time. Selects share by link the same day, and AI CAM covers high-volume open calls with guided solo capture.

The problem

  • Open calls are limited by geography, so strong talent outside your city never makes it into the room.
  • Self-tapes come back with wildly varying quality — different lighting, framing, and devices — which makes candidates hard to compare.
  • Clients cannot always attend a session in person, so sign-off slips and decisions drag.
  • Digitals end up scattered across email threads and phone snaps, and the right file is never where you need it.

How CLOS helps

Remote camera control on the talent's phone

You capture consistent digitals, with every candidate shot on the same settings, so comparison is fair and fast.

Browser-based virtual rooms

Clients and producers watch the casting live from a browser, so sign-off happens in the session instead of days later.

Real-time cloud delivery

Selects share by link the same day, so shortlists move while the session is still fresh.

AI CAM guided capture

Guided self-serve capture handles high-volume open calls, recording real photos and video without an operator on every session.

Frequently asked questions

How is this different from reviewing self-tapes? +
Self-tapes are self-directed, so quality and framing vary per candidate. Live virtual casting puts you in control of the camera in real time, so every digital is captured to the same standard and you can direct the read as it happens.
What does talent need to install? +
Talent uses the free CLOS app on their own phone as the capture device. You direct from a browser, and clients join from a browser too, with nothing to install on their side.
Can clients join a live casting session? +
Yes. Clients and producers join the browser room as viewers and watch the session live, so they can weigh in and sign off without traveling to set.
Can we still run asynchronous open calls? +
Yes. AI CAM guides talent through solo capture for high-volume open calls, recording real photos and video on their own time. You reserve live sessions for callbacks and shortlists.
