Subject: Actor and Actress
In February I'll be shooting a music video and the super-cool director is looking for a male lead actor with a Harley and a female actor to be his Bride. Below are descriptions, but I was hoping you could assist me with finding these people-off-the-street actors. The couple will be required to kiss and the male must supply his own Hog. If you could please send emails & photos to Sophia, that would be great! sophiapeer@gmail.com Thanks guys!
Casting:
"The Biker" should be oozing personality out of his face! I picture a white male who's a real man's man with a hard edge but not a big burly man- someone a little smaller than a typical biker dude. Must have long hair and interesting facial hair is a plus. Ideally this man has a great wardrobe that clearly reflects his affection for Harley's, masculine music and living fast.
"The Ex-Wife" should be somewhat attractive, a little trashy, past her prime and a little rough around the edges. She should also have her own set of tight and leathery clothes. It's important that she's not shy and feels comfortable kissing and licking the Biker.
Yeasayer- I Remember:
A short man with a mustache, 30-50 years old, wearing a fringe vest, jeans and black boots with his hair in a ponytail finds an object (TBD) in his home that reminds him of his ex-wife. We see the object and learn of its past within the first 9 seconds.
The man puts on a jacket/fringe vest and gloves and rushes outside. He shines up his Harley a bit, gets on and starts to ride off. As he drives we see the area he’s driving through- nature shots, the sky- as he speeds around.
The man pulls off and parks his bike on the side of the road. He walks down a path and finds an open empty area. He takes the object that we saw in the beginning of the video and smashes it repeatedly. The pieces of the object fly around and turn into digitally created psychedelic confetti. The sky is filled with colors and suddenly all of the “confetti” turns bright orange and then into a dust. The orange dust is poisonous and the man begins to cough and run away from it. He runs through the path, everything is orange, and eventually passes out from coughing, covered in orange dust.
A woman appears above him, and the dust settles, he opens his eyes and she lies on top of him. They kiss and she is licking parts of his face, grabbing him and he is smiling and confused. She starts to fade away- becoming more and more invisible until she’s gone. He begins to cry.
For locations:
1. I could likely use the actors actual home for the first part but if that doesn't seem like it will work out it might be nice to shoot in one of the old adobe homes in the barrio. I'm still figuring out how much of the insode of the home we'll actually see but the exterior is where he will be cleaning the Harley.
2. Areas like Gates Pass and the Rincon Mountains (Reddington Pass) for the drive. I'm open to suggestions and will need quite a bit of this sort of visual.
3. The man on the Harley has to pull off somewhere and walk into an open area- maybe going through a short path- and smash the TBD object.
4. As the man runs away from the orange dust he falls somewhere and makes out with the ex.
