Ladies and gentleman, friends, acquaintances, fans, and casual listeners/spectators...we, The Red Paintings, need your help! Every time TRP ask for help, you blow our hearts and our minds and we are sure this time will be no different, but we're a little bit nervous...time is short, so we REALLY need you to step up and...
HELP US WITH OUR BRAND NEW MUSIC VIDEO!
That's right, we need extras, LOTS of you, for our brand new music video from the forthcoming debut LP, 'The Revolution Is Never Coming'.
The band will be shooting the music video on Saturday September 12th in Brisbane, Australia. We need about 100 people + to fill the stage with us. This is going to be a Morning/Arvo shoot, and it's shaping up to be one of the most unique and organic videos we have ever created...something you don't want to miss that we want all of your lovely faces to be in.
All extras need to arrive by 10am for the full rundown on shots and what exactly we're going to need for you to do -- then shooting will run for approximately 2-6 hours...it could go very fast, but we like to account for possible reshoots, mistakes, and of course random unexpected craziness...ugly little things tend to rear their head when you least expect it, so best to play it safe and book a longer time frame just in case.
Location of Shoot Griffith Film School Studios Corner of Vulture St & Dock St. South Bank, 2ND Floor. Take first left once in dock. There will be a young lady who will meet all those involved at front entrance across from the Maritime Museum .
We would appreciate if you could/would confirm your involvement in the video ASAP so that we have an idea on how many people to expect...we REALLY need to fill this stage up so please forgive us for reposting this until we get our allotment. Also, please let us know if you can bring any friends and perhaps repost this for us on your pages?...we'd love to have your help gatheting 'em. To confirm your involvement or for any additional information, please e-mail jdsmarshall@gmail.com and CC management@theredpaintings.com with the subject 'The Red Paintings September Video Extra' (or call 0416119661).
Requirements and details are as follows:
There will be two scenes that need to be shot on the day.
Scene One * 100 extras * Dress Code -- If possible, please dress entirely in white, preferably with no logos or images (it's okay if you can't but those who are fully white, we can feature in close-ups)
Scene Two * 25 Bodies to paint white like a human canvas. We will supply white wigs and crazy hat piece. * 5 Bodies to be painted black. - We will need to drop the black bodies from ceiling height of around 6-8 feet. All you'll need to do is wear white underwear if you plan to be a white canvas, and black if...you got it, if you want to be a black canvas. There are showers you can use also, so please feel free to bring a towel to clean up and dry off.
Don't worry about the paint -- it's special and comes right off/won't damage your skin...it's a little cold, but quite fun. We promise. Many of you crazy kids have done it before so feel free to ask your fellow fans what it's like.
There is no payment involved, BUT we will supply food and drink. Plus of course you get the satisfaction and experience of something quite unique...a part of Red Paintings history.
Again, feel free to bring as many people as you like, but please try and drop us a line that you can do it. If you bring more than expected, awesome, just let them know dress code.
We are also on the lookout for 20 extras (only 20) on the Sunday (the day after/13th) to form an Orchestral scene. Let us know it you may be interested in shooting on both days.
