2016 in Review: What are the Recent Highlight Projects of Create Talents?

The end of the year is here! You know what that means; don’t you? It is now the season of joy, giving, and reflection. We want to recap you with some of our best projects over the course of 2016. We delight in all the projects that Create Talents and Models has successfully accomplished over the year and so that all of us who are part of this great agency may head into the New Year with a greater sense of passion, pride, and style.

Orchard Gateway Bridal Fashion Show

Early in the year, from March to June 2016, stunning Bridal Fashion show took place at Orchard Gateway which left the audience (especially women awaiting their big day) at awe. It was held over a course of 7 series and our models Ula L, Nazli G, Randi B and Kirsten P had to pose for photo shoots and perform runway modeling with their magnificent gowns. Trust us, it was tough to get all of them dressed and ready to model with perfection, nevertheless our female models didn’t disappoint and had put on their A game. Bridal modeling has its challenges, yet it always turns out to be exciting and a treat for the eyes.

HPB Shoot 

The Health Promotion Board print advertisement is one of our cherished Government sector projects which featured male model Zali B. It was an F.I.G.H.T campaign which was meant to educate the public on the ways to protect against Flu and other infectious diseases. The advertisement had become very popularly spread island wide.  We were certainly excited to see Zali all over the nation on posters on buses, taxis, and billboards. 

Front Row Runway Festival at The Shoppes at MBS

A prestigious event which featured our Create Talents Model, RK10 K, is the ‘Front Row’ Runway Festival held at Marina Bay Sands. It was a celebration of fashion weeks from the four fashion capitals around the world Milan, Paris, London and New York. RK10K represented Uomo Collezioni’s Canali brand and strode the runway with a day and nightwear suit. The event had featured an array of grand designer brands such as Diane Von Furstenberg, Burberry, Coach, and Versace, amongst which was the equally prestigious Canali. RK10K was an absolute dapper and made a strong statement about the Canali brand which is re-launching in Singapore.

Asian Tour

A whopping ten of our kid models took part in this single project which was meant to advertise the Asian Tour. The Asian Tour, in a nutshell, stages multiple tournaments throughout Asia and aims to develop professional golf throughout Asia. The kid models involved were Carmen G, Charlie T, Esther P, Jayden-G, Kenji P, Matt Jaemond, Maurice H, Shawn P, Rahul, and Rishab. It is our pleasure to see such young, bright talents excelling in the modeling field, and finding confidence in their own body and skin. Kudos to the young lads, and we hope to work more with our kid models who are full of life.

Jetstar Asia
The first project by Jetstar Asia entitled #FridayFREEFlights was a fun and quirky project in which our models Angela P and Han S had to model for basically our generation’s favorite past time- ‘taking selfies’. A short video was released on every Tuesday of the month of October, where the public could take part through following the theme and instructions given for the week as exemplified through our models and upload their selfie on respective Fridays on any social media account. The four creative themes were ‘Lovey Dovey Passport Selfie’, ‘Goofy Passport Selfie’, ‘Photobomb Passport Selfie’ and ‘Face Swap Passport Selfie’.

The second was a print advertisement featuring out model Candy N being part of a group selfie advertising Jetstar. We are on the whole, honored to have worked with one of Singapore’s aviation giants, and we look forward to collaborating on more future projects.

Mediacorp

Mediacorp has always been our prestigious client where many talents from our agency get the opportunity to cast and act. This year, we did a heartwarming Father’s day TV commercial project which featured 6 of our models, Jan D, Ali Khan, Teck Lee, Alexa P, Viran D, and Mukesh K. The advertisement tugged at the heart strings and made everyone think about the love and importance of fathers. It was broadcasted on Mediacorp Channel 5 together with the hashtag #CelebratingFathersSG which sparked meaningful conversation on social media.

Another Mediacorp Channel 5 project we concluded successfully this year was the ‘Cash Struck’ video shoot with our senior model, Moey Y. This was a spoof of the PPAP (Pen pineapple Apple Pen) song which went viral online. We thank Mediacorp for the opportunity to allow Create Talents for giving our models the experience to be part of a significant mainstream media channel in Singapore.

That’s not all! We also had some awesome Print Advertisements to add to the souvenir collection.

Other than the Jetstar Asia and HPB print advertisements shoots we also had our models featuring for other companies. They include Keks K for POSB, Nia S for Bata, Shayan K for M1 & C3A 2016 Shoot, Joshua N and Ryan C for Mount Faber Peak, Anneliese W for AIA group photoshoot, Han S & Bonnie Y for FairPrice Shoot, and Jane J for P&G (Procter & Gamble) print advertisements.

In a Nutshell

Create Talents and Models has come far over the course of the year and worked for plenty of clients apart from those listed above. Some of which are, SG Secure, Singtel, Starhub, Samsung, IDA, Skin Inc, Bata, Maggi, Chandon, Dutch Lady & Disney, Klook, Guinness, Golden Scissors Awards events and many projects.

None of these successes would be possible without the people hard at work behind the scenes. The scouters work hard, rain or shine, to search and recruit promising new talents; our bookers diligently source for good job opportunities for our models, our customer service front line patiently deals with large numbers of clients and models every single day, and our photographers do an excellent job at getting the best quality of visuals possible. Thank you to everyone who has made this agency kicking and running. This is only the beginning of many more successes to come in a brand new year. 2017, here we come!

How to Pick the Kids for a Best Modelling Agency?

There are so many kids modelling agencies in Singapore! How do you choose the best one out of all?

Does your pretty or handsome kid have a natural knack for posing in front of the camera? Do they envision becoming the next Miranda Kerr, Tyra Banks or star on Victoria’s Secret? Are they confident in front of the camera and express a vibrant personality?

Your kiddo may be the next big star! It’s better to start at a certain young age where the mind is perfectly suited to learn new things. However, there are a few noteworthy pointers to determine whether your child is best suited for modeling, and that you are picking the best kid for job.

Both Parent and Child must be committed to modeling

Modeling is serious business and may take a toll on a kid at a young age. There will be a need to spend time or traveling to various places. Usually shoots for kids last around 2 to 3 hours which require high levels patience, tolerance, and cooperation on the part of the kid. Shoots may happen amidst working or schooling hours, which will require the kid to skip some hours, or for the parent to skip work to fit shoots in their schedule. Sacrificing some leisure time might become a norm too, as kids modeling demands children and parents to give it high priority and adopt a committed mindset.


Realistic Expectations

Perhaps the most realistic factor to consider is the limited success, recognition, and earnings at the onset of modeling. Sure a kid may aspire to be the next Hermione Granger of Harry Potter who will in his/her latter years become a supermodel like Emma Watson. But truth is kid models are likely to be inexperienced and have much room for development in terms of style, skill, and personality. As such their opportunities may be initially limited, usually around 2 to 3 assignments a month ranging $50-75 per hour on average. As such it becomes important to start off modeling with a love and passion for excelling in it, rather than focusing too much on financial reward.

A kid and parent alike must be able to embrace rejection from clients, and work up their way in the industry. Rejection from model agencies or clients doesn’t mean the child isn’t good enough, but more often they aren’t going for that style or look. Keep trying with other agencies, and hard work pays off.

Good Looks Don’t Guarantee Success in Modeling

Looking good with the key features such as angular face structure, good skin tone, and symmetrical face are all plus points and definitely attributes of a good model, but they alone are not enough. If your kid is extremely restless, tends to fidget continuously, unable to take advice and instructions from strangers, and doesn’t like to smile or to pose convincingly, these will all lead toward disaster in the modeling industry. Although these problems are rarely seen amongst adults, they are prevalent in kids, which create an uphill battle in achieving good contracts and assignments from the modelling agencies Singapore


Eat healthily and be Physically Active

This advice is given to all models alike but it’s especially more important for children, who can be easily attracted to junk food and sweet drinks. A kid should try to keep the expected body figure as much as possible. An active lifestyle comes into effect in keeping up the proper shape as well. Make sure they run around the field every once in a while apart from being stuck on their computer games or play station. Make sure, the kid is medically fit and capable enough to stand and pose for a long period of time too.

Lastly, parents shouldn’t force their kids to enter modeling and force upon them what they don’t like. Modeling should be a personal choice, and done only because they enjoy it. Ultimately that is what will see them through the tough phases of their work. Modeling isn’t for everyone, so make sure you understand the agency you are working with and the requirements expected of your child before making a long term commitment. 


Little boy Justin as a model - Create Talents Scam?


 Think well before calling Create Talents Pte Ltd a scam! 

Justin: Hi, my name is Justin.

We will invite Justin's dad to answer a few questions.

Daniel: Hi my name is Daniel, I am Justin's dad.

How did you get to know us?

When Justin was young I found that he has this talent to make people happy So... I went online to search for modelling materials/agency and i managed to come across Create Talents. And so i came over.With a brief consultation with that consultant, they convinced me that, yes they can develop Justin to who he can become. And yup, i gave it a shot. So, he has, well, progress pretty fair well. I guess.

















Do you think that we were a scam?

I didn't really think about whether is a scam or not. I felt that he is growing up I had, i felt, urgent to do something for him. Especially in Singapore's fast economy. And his ability to bring happiness, laughter to people. So i thought that i want to do something for You right? Justin? Hm?
Right? Right?

*Hahaha*

Yes, so, errm I came here and, went to the jobs. I did my best to convince the producers, narrators and their clients to why they have to choose Justin. Why is Justin the one for them to choose. I think in many cases right, we as model right, modelling right. We are part of a big picture. We have to be able to value add the production. and convinced why we are able to value add the production. Rather than, thinking that errm we look good. We have experience. And, we should be selected. And, we shouldn't have this kind of sense of entitlement. Or rather, we should go down thinking how we should value add the production. Why producer should choose us. How we are going to Value add their client, production.Because there is time-line involved. There is budget involved. Yup, so, i believe in this theory. How do we make people richer and happier. And therefore, through that, i guess, we managed to convince production of why he be chosen. So, whether is a scam or not. Just look at a very surface pespective. If the bosses don't like you, 在帅在美下去也是没用的。 (How pretty or handsome you are it will also be useless) So, in most cases, yes, the first 条件, the first condition, is you have to look good. You have to have a charisma and confident. And second condition, we need to be able to Relate with what the client wants. And what the production wants. And how are we part of this big production. In many many cases.
