If your video production calls for working with kids, whatever




the age, it pays to make the child the most important person on




set. Treat children with respect, guidance and generosity to get




the performance you desire.









When working with young children, it's necessary to provide them




with fun games, age appropriate snacks, meals and drinks as well




as a "treat" for a good performance. Try to work with a Director




who has experience with children as they will be more open to




kid lingo and personalities.









Older children often take acting very seriously and will want to




learn as much as possible. Be prepared to answer questions and




explain what will happen during the shoot. They will be more




likely to work with you if you give them a tour of the set and




introduce them to the "grown up" crew and make them feel special




to the production.









Regardless of age, make sure to abide by state laws concerning




time restrictions and on-set schooling. Each state has different




laws; for example California requires a work permit for children




working in theatrical employment, whereas Arizona does not.









Above all, relax and enjoy yourself. Remember that children will




only listen for limited periods of time, after which pushing




them just leads to frustration for everyone. The key is to be




ready to get the good shots quickly and anything after that is a




bonus. Kids can enhance your production value so make it a fun




experience for all!
