Viral TVC Campaign 22 Oct 2009

Lat est News Featured Article Casting Board Film Competitions Select State

< p align=center> Hi Guys We are getting a lot of question about the PAID WORK - VIRAL TVC Campaign listed on the members audition board. Here is a bit more info. A Viral Marketing Campaign is something that is not an "in your face" in your face sell/advertisement. It is a funny skit or set up that people go "wow - did you see the guy on YouTube - and then the YouTube clip gets a zillion hits and the visual footage gets sent around the world in emails etc. The key for the advertisers is that the "hero" in the clip might be wearing a tshirt or a pair of shoes or sunnies, might be using a certain product, outside a certain store etc, that is clearly branded, maybe a bit edgy, maybe a bit cool (whatever the product wants to be) and then everyone sees that brand inadvertantly and becomes brand aware. So this campaign that is now casting is looking for people to go out on the street - play a character as per the casting brief, and then interact with the general public as that character. There will be a camera man filming the interaction and putting the clips together. eg. You might be "playing" a tourist and ask another "real" tourist to take a video of you. You then might do something "out there" as per the script, and then the real tourist might have a reaction. All this is being filmed by a professional camera man. Kind of like an Ashton Kutcher "setup". Loads of fun, loads of improv. Great opportunity for stuff to put on your show reel. You could end up on YouTube being seen by millions of people around the world! And you get paid! Hope that helps - All shapes, sizes and ages required to play "real" people on the street. ---------------------------------------------------- Just a quick note to say Hi to everyone that I met in Sydney and Melbourne last weekend at the TVI Workshops. I am sure everyone enjoyed the sessions with Emmy Award Winning, LA Casting Director for the Series "24". It was great to get into her world and understand the casting process in more depth. One of the messages I got was that you can do a great audition, be the best person for the job and still not get the role. There are so many other factors that influence the casting process. Tonight we have the Gold Coast sessions and I look forward to meeting everyone there. I am sure you can still get tix for the Q&A session tonight at Bond Uni. It is only $25 with the QOS discount.
