An aircheck is simply a recording of any broadcast. Originally they were used to provide advertising agencies with "due diligence" proof that their commercial buys were aired in the agreed time slot.
In the age of television, if an actor could get a recording of a program from the production company it generally proved to be both expensive and cumbersome. However, with the advent of consumer video tape recording, actors began collecting their performances on VHS or BetaMax tapes. Thus was born the video demoreel.
Your demoreel is now most often the first representation of you as an actor. Don't allow your demoreel to look shabby, using a poor quality VHS recordings, when you could acquire high quality DVD recordings through our aircheck service. Remember, "GIGO, Garbage In Garbage Out"? That maxim becomes more apparent when applying compression algorithms required to get demoreels online. Do it right the first time, you won't be sorry and you'll save money in the long run.
