Digifits: remote costume fittings for talent and supporting artist agencies
Your artists photograph themselves in the looks the costume department asked for. Wardrobe review everyone from one link and choose what each artist brings to set, and the digifit fee lands on the timesheet the moment an artist submits. No fitting days and no group chats.
What is a digifit?
A digifit, short for digital fitting and also written digi-fit, is a remote costume fitting. Instead of travelling to a fitting, a supporting artist or cast member photographs themselves in the outfits the costume department asked for. Wardrobe choose which option the artist should bring to set, and the artist is paid a digifit fee for doing it.
For the agency in the middle, that usually means a chain of emails, photos sent to the wrong person and a fee someone forgets to add.
RosterDeck runs the whole digifit from the job, from the wardrobe brief to the fee on the timesheet.
| Compared | In-person fitting | Digifit |
|---|---|---|
| Where it happens | The artist travels to a costume store or unit base. | The artist photographs their outfits wherever they are. |
| What wardrobe sees | Each artist in person, one appointment at a time. | Every artist’s outfit options side by side on one page. |
| What the artist is paid | The fitting rate. | The digifit fee from the job’s rate card. |
| What comes out of it | Notes and photos taken on the day. | The chosen look sent to each artist, a PDF to take to set. |
From wardrobe brief to paid timesheet in five steps
- 1
Create the digifit on the job
Name the look, such as Hotel Guests, choose the shoot dates it covers and write the wardrobe brief. The fee is read from the job’s rate card, so nobody types a figure in.
- 2
Send it to booked cast
Pick the booked artists and send the Digi-fit Request email. Each artist gets their own upload link, the brief and the digifit fee they will be paid.
- 3
Artists upload their options
Up to three full-length outfit photos each, framed so footwear stays in shot, from a phone or computer. No app and no account.
- 4
Wardrobe choose options
The costume department review every artist side by side, tick the option each should bring and add a note. The choice goes straight to the artist.
- 5
Fee lands on the timesheet
The moment an artist submits their costume options, the digifit fee is added to their timesheet as a supplement. Nobody has to remember to add it.
Fittings without the admin
No fitting days to arrange
Artists do their fitting from home in a few minutes, so there is no travel to book, no slots to juggle and no unit base to find.
The fee is never forgotten
The digifit fee comes from the job’s rate card, with its holiday pay and commission settings, and is written onto the chit on submission.
One link for the costume department
Each digifit has one review link for its whole life. Add more cast later and they appear on it automatically, with nothing to resend.
Several looks on one production
Create a digifit for each look, such as Hotel Guests and High-end Diners, each with its own brief, dates and review link.
Artist details stay private
Production pick the look without ever seeing the artist’s email address. The artist is emailed in your agency’s name and replies to you.
Paid once per date, never twice
Artists are paid one digifit per date, and a fitting date can never be in a digifit, because it already pays the in-person fitting rate.
Every outfit, head to toe, on one page
Wardrobe open the review link, see the brief and every artist’s options side by side, and tick the look each artist should bring. Their choice is emailed to the artist with the chosen photos attached.
Everything production gets from RosterDeckEvery artist on one page
Filter by awaiting upload, ready to review or responded, or search by name.
PDF contact sheets
A contact sheet or one artist per page, with every upload or the chosen options.
The original photos
Download the original files as a zip to keep or mark up.
No account or app
The review link opens in any browser, on set or in the costume store.
Fitting photos are deleted when the job is done
Artists’ photos are personal, so they are not kept. The upload links, the review link and the photos all close together, between one and seven days after the last date the digifit covers, and the photos are then permanently deleted. You choose the window, and the review page tells production the date so they can download what they need first.
Run a digifit before your next fitting day
A demo account comes with a sample roster and jobs, so you can create a digifit, send it and review the photos as production would, without emailing a real artist.
