extras needed at EDT tomorrow

[immyloveday]

Hello all,

My husband and I are local filmmakers. We are currently half way through shooting a short film and we need extras for a scene tomorrow. Sorry for the late notice, especially with it being on a bank holiday. But if you are at a loose end and can make it to the EDT in East Dulwich for tomorrow at 11am-2pm. Please do DM me and let me know. Thank you so much for your time.

HI IS THIS A PAID JOB

[immyloveday]

No I'm afraid not.

[lightweight]

Will you provide food and booze in lieu of payment?

[PeckhamRose]

Clearly not! Bet all the professional crew are getting paid?

[immyloveday]

Actually no one was paid on this job, not one crew member or any of the actors. We had cleared all of this with them prior to the production, for the record anyone who would have turned up would have been provided food & a drink.

[Jah Lush]

What would the extras have to do? I'd quite happily sit at the bar and drink if that's all it takes.

[KidKruger]

Yeah I'd happily do that for you, too.

Can we agree a calendar of such work for the summer ?

[PokerTime]

Guys it's a short film. Most short films are done for expenses and food. Good luck with the film immyloveday.

Jeez, there are some miserablists on this forum. They were asking for volunteers - you can say no... it's not forced labour.

I was an extra in the Kit-Kat ad for the World Cup. 60 + extras. were used

7.30 - 21.30 14 hours.

Filmed in a Bermondsey pub and at Locations around and inside The Den.

Lot of sitting around. But we were fed and watered all day. Breakfast / Lunch / Tea.

No alcohol allowed, even in the pub scenes.

We all got paid ?50.00 for the day.

You've hit the nail on the head, but not in the way you think.

Big commercial for well known brand vs small, independent film. Of course you got paid.

Yes of course.. I realise that..

But ?50.00 for 14 hours shows it doesn't pay that well. Even with big commercial companies.

I find it strange that a commercial of that size is booking extras on a deal. Commercials stick rigidly to union rates and pay very well for all involved.
