Call for an actor to play a wizard like Tim the Enchanter from Monty Python's Holy Grail for a short, funny one-minute video clip.
This character is an eccentric wizard that speaks with a slight accent and is highly dramatic.
The script is about 150 words. The humor and tone of the script ranges from over-the-top exuberance to deadpan shtick.
- Age: 30-80
- Gender: Male
- Requirements: Send a current selfie or a photo of you with your beard before January 9th. No professional headshot or resume is needed. If available, send a few links to video clips of your performances.
- Other Requirements: A beard (can be a theatrical beard if you have a realistic one). Bring your own powder makeup.
- Attire: I will provide a wizard cap. If you can wear a white shirt and vest, or a simple robe, or any type of wizard-like or medieval shirt.
- Optional: If you have any props like tomes, candelabras, skulls, or wizardly things, that would be appreciated.
- Schedule: Flexible times from 1/9 - 1/18. We can film any evening after 6 pm. Or any time over the weekend of the January 12 & 13th.
- Payment: $75
The script must be memorized. Earpieces are OK if you are proficient in one. No teleprompter or cue cards. Delivery will be right into the camera from a seated position behind a table.
This is a promotional video for an old-school "zine," or hobby and game magazine.
If you are interested in creating a fun, memorable, and humorous performance, please send your photo and video links, and I will reply with the script for you to review. I will do phone interviews and make a selection on January 9th.
Thanks,
Jon
