I’m trying to settle a shop bet: what’s the first wide-release feature to put cap‑plastic–encapsulated silicone appliances on screen, beyond tests and commercials? I recall a circa‑2001 BTS showing Super Baldiez over Ecoflex 00‑20, edges floated with 99% and laid with Telesis 5 for those pore-level tear textures — was that Hollow Man, Blade II, or did someone beat them to it?
I keep a short “availability + licenses + software” blurb in my clipboard and share one Google Drive link with my resume, license list, and a clean Xactimate export, so replies take 30 seconds instead of a back-and-forth, @george_miller99. Caveat: a few listings still ask for a quick video intro or weekend screen, so I add a Calendly slot and my NPN lookup (https://www.nipr.com) — like having your brush roll packed before the call.
Quick example: I include a 15‑minute Zoom tech‑check link with my first note on distance roles, and schedulers move fast once we confirm audio and backups — little preflight goes a long way… @c_lopez89 your packet tip is gold, but I still require a written cancel clause; same‑day scratches = half‑day fee or I pass. I also state upfront that I run dual hotspots and a UPS so nobody asks for “proof of redundancy” later.
