Outreach > Lumi
Turn online applications into Lumi cast Cards with one click of a button. Please contact us about integration solutions for outreach/online applications for your project.
Everything about your Cast, on the one Lumi Card
Store and work on audition and producer notes, contact details, photos, audition videos, showreels, social media links, links to edit cut downs, wardrobe, red flags, interview questions, paperwork and much more. Save your team time by avoiding situations where you have the same cast applying for multiple projects, or make sure those that just missed out are not lost next time around. Record emails and communications in Lumi, rather than in staffs inboxes, to make sure you're across duty of care.

Don't let a great option slip through the cracks
When your applications start to grow, it's easy to miss someone. With every word searchable in Lumi, don't stress about remembering that redhead who had tattoos, a quick search of those words will bring her up. Create hashtags for keywords for easy searching and categorisation (eg #mum #girlnextdoor #single).
Flexible and Editable Exports
No need to create multiple documents for pitching or clients, keep everything in the one spot and just choose what to export. Export Bio and Measurements together with one click of a button. Edit your Card exports to look exactly as you need before you send it out.
Live 3D Audition / Interview Schedules
Simply pull your cast Cards into a schedule and plan out your day, set a total time of day to make sure your day isn't taking you into overtime. Click into cast Cards directly from the schedule to read up on them and make notes.
Review & Rate and Sort
Digitise those often lost notebook scribbles. Create your own cast gradings system or simply track your YES/NO/MAYBE's. Need to rate them by a particular skill? Lumi gives you flexibility to create your own unique fields to record and track whatever you need for your project.
Paperless Auditions
Create a Kanban to monitor how your cast are moving through rounds and interviews on audition days, know how many people have registered, how many are waiting, how many haven't showed up, and more importantly - how many you like.
Compile & Pitch
Get rid of the headshots on the wall and put your favourite options on a Lumi Board, play around with pairings, move and re-size, create your own labels and see what your cast is looking like. Go into your pitch with a live 3D Board which moves and shows options as the client makes changes.
Manage Confidential Documents with Microsoft Integration
Create, store and upload word, excel, powerpoint documents in Lumi. Update a document somewhere and it updates everywhere. Users with existing Microsoft Business or School accounts can edit documents live and together via Microsoft online, no need for downloading and reuploading. Vault documents you need to keep private or for executive eyes only so staff can only see what is relevant to them.
Live Time-Coded Logs
Recording an audition? Use automatic Lumi Logs to make notes of the best bits to make cutting a highlights or video package easy. Create your own custom shortcuts and export logs directly into AVID.
Avoid Duplication & Misinformation
Work on a live digitised casting brief, forecast, schedule and share your plan with the team. Forget emailing out V11 of the casting plan, with everyone working in Lumi they're always looking at the most up-to-date information, reducing emails and old, out of date documents in files.
Move seamlessly into Production
Once your cast is locked, simply add to their cast cards to keep growing into your production. Plan out their backstories, shoots, interviews, travel info, contracts and much more.
