Due to a new Script we had to change the Age range a bit!
And we are definitely looking for more normal looking people and not too perfect Models!
For a new TV Commercial we are looking for 2 Main Roles supporting the Car. THIS TIME WE ARE ONLY LOOKING FOR REAL COUPLES!!!!
As most of you don’t have Couple Pictures of their Actors/Actresses / Talents we are fine if you just send it out to the matching ones and ask them to upload the Casting with their Partner!
Talent must have a valid passport with at least 6 months on it.
FOR TALENTS THAT HAVE DONE THE CASTING IN COUPLES ALREADY THERE IS NO NEED TO DO IT AGAIN!
ALL INFOS FOR THE ECASTING ARE AT THE END OF THE EMAIL!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BRIEFING
Talent need a valid driver's licence and must be comfortable driving both left and right hand drive vehicles.
OVERALL: We’re looking for real people, not the type of people you might usually find in commercials. We don’t want the polished, cheesy couple, and we also don’t want people who are quirky in an addy way.
We’re looking for people with interesting, characterful faces who are comfortable improvising around scenes. They need to have striking, memorable, characterful faces. They need to be up for an adventure.
We are looking for a modern Couple – Male & Female (Early – Mid 40ies years) – only real couples!
We definitely want people who are actually 40+ - people that feel like they already have Kids going to Primary school.
It’s important that they feel like they already have lived a life together.
The woman is a down to earth, independent, professional woman, old enough to have experienced life and is up for living life.
There is depth to her character. Something about her that draws the viewer in. She has a mesmerising face. As a character she draws the viewer in.
She is the one, the viewer wants to follow.
The man is not just a character from commercials. He has charisma. He also has an interesting face.
Something about him that catches your eye. Perhaps he works in publishing or the creative industries. Again we get the sense that there is a lot of
backstory to his life. Together there is a genuine natural chemistry.
NEW
The new script has a physical element to the film.
We see the couple running, jumping into the car, chasing after each other in a playful way, jumping over the sofa, diving around.
So they need to be comfortable with that kind of action, and be athletic.
It would be good to find people who run regularly, they don’t need to be professional athletes, that’s not what we’re looking for, but they should be comfortable with the running / chasing around elements.
We would also like people who are comfortable swimming in the ocean or in a lake.
The important thing is the contrast between the action - this playful chase - and the cast. We don’t want them to look like professional athletes. It has to feel like something they wouldn’t normally do.
