National Geographic Casting Call
I just received this notice from my local yahoo steam group and, as it doesn't look like it was passed on here, I thought I'd make sure to post it here, just in case.
National Geographic has sent out a request for costumed re-enactors for the following time periods:
18th Century - French aristocracy
19th Century (specifically, late 1890's) Formal ballroom attire
Roman Soldiers
BE SURE TO PASS THIS ALONG TO ANY AND ALL THAT YOU THINK WOULD BE INTERESTED!
Here are the details:
"Party Like" is a 3-part documentary film series recreating the greatest parties in history, airing later this year on the National Geographic Channel. What we are looking for are people with the following period costumes:
1. Ball gowns. Any period ball gown that looks elegant and would work in a scene from the 18th or 19th centuries with couples dancing waltzes or mingling, eating and drinking. Prominent jewelry would be a plus.
2. Men in tails - the way high society male guests would have dressed for a late 19th Century ball. Also waiters in tails, wigs and white gloves.
3. Kings, Queens, Princesses, aristocrats, nobility. We have a whole costume party to shoot where people are dressed as European nobles.
4. Marie Antoinette. We will be casting a Marie Antoinette who will feature prominently so anyone who has the look and dress will be seriously considered for the part. Also anyone who looks like they belong in the 18th Century court of Versailles.
5. Roman soldiers.
We are shooting in Los Angeles at the end of April beginning of May. The big shoot days are April 27th and May 4th, but some extras may be required for multiple days. Pay is TBD but we would pay up to $150 for a specific, named character, less for a generic character. Meals with be provided and you will receive a full National Geographic credit. Please send photos of yourself in costume or costumes to me at:
