Auditions Complete, More Crew Required
Last weekend the crew gathered in London to do the auditions, SFX preparations and rehearsals as well as to visit our set, a professional film site on 50,000 acres of land with dozens of different sets.
With our cast locked down we are sorting out our final crew preparations, now that we have a clearer picture of what we're facing.
Our pilot lasts about 5 minutes with the current storyboard and the set. We're doing principal photography over 1 day on the 30th of September (a Sunday). Transporation will be provided to and from the set. With our meeting point being High Barnet in North London.
This is a great opportunity to gain a gorgeous showreel item, with some great emotional acting, fast paced action and amazing special effects.
If you are interested in applying for 1 of these positions and you have a car and can transport a minimum of 3 people from the cast or crew, this is an added bonus in your favour (all petrol costs to and from the shoot are reimbursed).
