WOW spec-commercial - looking for larpers
Hi, my name is Brian. I'm a film student at CSU
Fullerton, and I am looking for volunteers to help me
with a project. I want to film a spec commercial, or
mock-commercial if you will, of the online
role-playing game, the World of Warcraft.
If you are not familiar with the game, it revolves
around the conflict between the various tribes of orcs
(with some goblins thrown in), and society of humans
and their Elvish allies. This game has very impressive
fanbase here and abroad.
My idea is to have an orc clashing with a band of
human soldiers and revealing that he is really living
in the game of Warcraft.
I am looking for actors who have their own armor and
who really look the part. Ideally, I'd like the armor
for the human footman to be European medieval-style
plate mail. The King Arthur look as opposed Roman
gladiator or samurai look.
As for the orc, I am thinking of something with more
of a goth (that's goth, not gothic) look to it.
Leather armor, or highly stylized metal armor would
work. If it has spikes or a heavy metal look to it
that's even better! I am not an expert on armor, so
any ideas you might have are welcome. This is just a
guideline of what I am looking for.
This is not meant to portray the SCA or LARP
organization in any way. This is for individuals who
are interested in helping out on a shoot. This is
going to be a voluntary and non-paid event. Ideally,
I’d like to shoot this during the first weekend of
July.
Anyone who is interested please get in touch with me.
This could be a great addition to an aspiring actor's
demo reel. Thanks for reading my post.
