INT. OFFICE - DAY

A CASTING AGENT GOES TO A TRIPOD, SETS A CAMCORDER TO STANDBY AND SITS CONTENTEDLY IN HIS CHAIR.

CASTING AGENT
Okay, thanks a lot for coming in today. We've got a few candidates left to see yet but as soon as this round of casting's done we'll be in touch. Thanks again for your time.

REVEAL: TWO PEOPLE DRESSED MUCH THE SAME AS HE IS. THEY ALSO HAVE A CAMCORDER SET ON A TRIPOD. ONE LEANS OVER TO THE OTHER AND WHISPERS IN HIS EAR.

REAL CASTING AGENT
Looks like we've found our casting agent.

I thought that was good. Clever use of the reveal trick. Didn't make me laugh out loud, but I liked it very much.

I enjoyed it. Didn't expect the last line.

Very clever, Sir.

Thank you all, I guess I'll go shoot it now.

Very clever! Like this idea

Heh, that's a very good short.

I agree entirely apart from that it *did* make me laugh out loud. Very well done, and good luck making it even funnier when filmed.

Nice one!

Really liked it David, very funny and well executed; though slightly dissapointing that that two actual casting agents werent wearing exactly the same clothes as you; but thats just idiotic nitpicking.

Very good - loved the "explosive" ending too.

Clever. Very slick too.

Very good. No sod that. Brilliant. The nodding was good, great comic timing and the explosion was so cheesey you had to laugh.

Oh, I do love a good quickie. And this is a goodie.

If I'm nitpicking, I'd have preferred a quicker reveal turn-around type thing. I mean, after you've seen the real casting agents what else could they be there for except to deliver the punchline? So 1/2 a mark off, but you get 90% of that back for the self-satisfied punch and explosion at the end.

Another very well done piece all round.

Yeah great stuff, top delivery.
