THE AUTHOR
Stephen K Singh
Having spent the past thirty years working in the film, television and photography industry as either an extra/supporting artist or photographic character model. I thought that it was about time for an honest and straightforward look at what it can really be like working in the industry from an in-front of the camera POV (Point of View). It's the book that I could have done with, when I was starting out in the business.

The print version:
In the first edition of this book, published on Amazon Kindle, I listed many of the agencies and agents from all over the UK; that version is still available, at present; but because of the various appearances and disappearances of agencies etc., over the past three or so years, I have decided not to include these in the paperback edition. Instead I have chosen to update, add, re-edit, revitalise and renew this edition of See You On Set!, with new chapters, inserts, information and interests.

"See You On Set!" - The Film & TV World Through the Eyes of a Jobbing Extra; is a unique look behind the scenes, at the real requirements needed to be seen as a professional supporting artist/extra.
(Of which, the three key elements are patience, adaptability and, most importantly, a sense of humour.)
It encompasses historical information regarding agencies, virtues and vices, and the two unions; and the relative experiences, the gripes and the groans of many (any) supporting artists in their twilight world, tightrope walk existence.
It also includes links and information to many agents and agencies, up and down the UK, in a variety of different fields, that go hand in hand with earning a living as an extra.

This book is part history, part stories from the Green Room, part tutorial, part info-pack, part life on set, part fact, part fabrication; in truth this book has almost as many parts as ‘extras’ have alternative names.
We are the crowd, we are the moving scenery, the walking (silently talking) props, that add a little colour and life, into what might otherwise look like a very dull screen moment.
Check out the book at Amazon.
