Actress & Dancer for Music Video (March 10th) (SE Portland, Arista Ballroom)
Our crew is shooting a music video this Saturday, March 10th, at 1pm at the Arista Ballroom on Hawthorne.
We are looking to cast two dancers, either a guy and girl, or two girls.
The scene requires some waltzing and our lead actress/dancer will need to be experienced in hip hop dancing as well. Our lead will also need to wear a mask that we've constructed for the shoot.
This is going to be a really fun shoot and we're extremely excited to be working on it. We'll be working with a small crew and will have the ballroom through the evening.
We're a low budget production, but actors and dancers will be compensated $50 for the shoot, and food will be provided during the process. Whoever we cast as our lead will need to be available on Friday March 16th as well for another shoot day (which we will also pay you for).
This video will be used as the opening titles for an event taking place at the Hollywood Theater on April 9th, called PDXMV: A Night Of Portland Music Videos.
This video will be great for exposure and something you could use in a showreel of your talent.
If you're interested or have any questions, please email us. Applicants please attach a list of dance experience, include a photo of yourself or any videos online that exhibit your dancing.
Thank you and good luck!
