Document: Extras instructions
Since I'm clearing this from my email it might find an archival resting place here. Will emailed this to all our extras the Thursday before shooting. Thank goodness for email -- without it there would have been no way for us to coordinate our shoot as quickly as we did.
Costume: Please wear “business casual”, unless you’ve received other instructions. Men may wear a tie, but a button-down shirt and slacks (no jeans) will be fine. Women may wear a blouse with slacks or skirt, or other “business wear.” You may want to bring a bag or purse, whatever you would bring to work. Dress for the weather. The weather outside will be the weather in our story.
Time: You will be contacted on Friday to confirm the call time.
Character: We have given some of you specific instructions about your character. We will also have further instructions available for you when you arrive. We are looking for LOW-KEY performances. We don’t see lobbies as places of high emotion. Keep in mind that we may have to recruit you for a role other than what we’ve prepared you for—we know unexpected problems will arise, so we hope you will be patient with us in solving them.
Nice day procedure: Who knows, it might be sunny this weekend. If so, you will be greeted outside by several crew members. They will sign you in, have you sign a waiver, and provide you with some prepared instructions about your character. Please make sure we have your name spelled correctly for crediting purposes. There will be a table with snacks and drinks outside. If you are working with someone else in your scene, you may want to find that person, so you can begin talking about the scene together. You will not be able to enter the lobby until the previous scene wraps. Once it’s done, you’ll be invited inside, and we’ll get to work.
Rainy day procedure: If it rains, you will still be met outside by someone with an umbrella. You will have to wait until a break in the action, and then you will be escorted to a waiting area. This will be on a wide stairwell landing. You will be signed in there, and our snacks and drinks will be there.
We think this will be a lot of fun! Just relax, have fun with it, and be patient with us. Thank you!!
