Actresses Required…

Stencil Media are gearing up for our most ambitious project yet, and we’re looking for a whole host of talent to make sure it’s also our best project yet! Last month we were commissioned to create a short product infomercial and the client liked it so much that they have requested ten more infomercials, which is excellent news. But here’s the catch… they’re in ten different languages!

We’re therefore looking for the folowing talent to get involved with this exciting project. Please be aware that all roles are fully paid.

Actresses

We need a total of thirty actresses in all, three for each language. The languages in question are:

Dutch
Portuguese
Norwegian
Danish
Finnish
Swedish

FORMAL ACTING EXPERIENCE IS NO REQUIRED, although 100% fluency in the language most certainly is. It’s a weight-loss product and the individual will be required to deliver a scripted interview to camera in a relaxed and conversational style. Actual experience of  weight-loss and the ability to provide a before and after photo that shows a noticeable difference would be beneficial, but isn’t absolutely necessary.

The shoot will take place between the 20th and the 24th of February in Derby, and each actress will be required to attend for approximately three hours on just one of those days. Approximately one hour for make-up, one hour for the shoot and one hour… just in case!

The role is fully paid and all actresses will receive a contribution towards travel expenses. Details of pay rates will be provided via email. There will be two days of casting in Central London on the 10th and 11th of February and one half-day casting in Derby on the 8th of February. The casting itself is unpaid. If you would like to attend one of the castings, find out the pay rates or any further details then please contact Rei Bennett on rei@stencilmedia.com

Translators

All translation posts are now filled.

Voice Over Artists

Once the scripts have been translated into the target languages, we’ll require professional voice over artists to read certain parts of the script. Total word count for the voice parts is approximately 150, so around a minute or less. We’re particularly looking to hear form Finnish, Dutch, Norwegian and Swedish talent. Voice over would need to be completed prior to the 20th of February. If you would like to be consider then please contact Scott Edington via email, including your rates, on scott@stencilmedia.co.uk

Interpreters

We need ten interpreters to be on set for each language shoot. This is to supervise the actresses delivery of lines and provide translation services if the actresses are not fluent in English. This would be for approximately four hours on one day between the 20th and the 24th of February. This is a fully paid role and a contribution towards travel expenses will be paid. Applicants must be 100% fluent in their target language and English. If you would like to be considered then please email scott@stencilmedia.co.uk

Camera Assistant/Runner

We require one camera assistant/runner to help out on the week of the shoot. This will be approximately 37.5 hours work on the week of the 20th to the 24th of February. Experience on a film shoot is a benefit but not a pre-requisite for application.  If you have a car then it would be a considerable benefit. This is a paid role although it will be minimum wage , lunches will be provided plus a contribution towards travel. Would be ideal for a film student who can get a week off uni or someone who has previous experience in the industry. Duties will include fetching lunches, drinks and equipment (the boring stuff!); charging batteries, transferring and logging data from memory cards, setting up equipment and assisting the director of photography, director and producer (the less boring stuff!). Please send all applications to Scott Edington who can be emailed on scott@stencilmedia.co.uk and include details of any previous experience/why you’d like to get involved.

So if any of the roles above take your fancy, then please get in touch with Rei if you’re an actress, or Scott if you are anything else! The shoots will be pretty fun and relaxed so why not get in touch if you have the skills and experience for the relevant roles. Need to get clarification form the client, but hopefully you all should be able to use the footage in your showreel and we’re hoping it will be of a very high quality.

Thanks!
