Welcome back to OBX SEASON 2---Shooting FRIDAY, JAN. 15TH! If you are new with OBX, this blog is where you will find out important information on what kind of costumes you should bring as a Background Actor on the show.
Just a couple of housekeeping items to begin with......
-Please, be on time. You will be checked in by the AD Department and fill out paperwork before we can look at you. If you are late then the Costume Department does not get as much time to make sure you look great.
-Always come dressed in your first, best choice of the descriptions for your character. After reading the character descriptions that you will find here, make your best pick and wear it in. However, you will ALWAYS be expected to bring multiple options with you so that we can make the final choices. The final choices will be made by the Costume Dept. Please respect that we have the overview of the day and the show, and do not complain about what we ask you to wear. Solid colors, wide stripes, plaids, and large scale prints are great! Some color is good, as long as it isnt super bright or neon. Please do not include items with narrow stripes, busy patterns, neons, glitter, sequins, expensive or special jewelry, uncomfortable shoes, and clothing with large logos & graphics/ trademarked characters (giant nike symbols, star wars tees, etc). On this particular show, simple logos are okay as long as it is mainly wording/ lettering/ phrases (not large pieces of artwork).
- It is MANDATORY that you read this blog before coming to work EVERY TIME YOU WORK.
KELCE'S KOOK FRIENDS:
You are playing Preppy High School kids. Some brands that work well for the Kook characters are Johnny O, Vineyard Vines, Southern Tide, Ralph Lauren, Lily Pulitzer, Rainbows, & Sperrys. These are the most colorful characters on the show.
Guys- please bring polos, button down shirts, khakis and bright colored shorts, sneakers , loafers and Sperry type shoes.
Girls- please bring tanks, polos, pants, skirts, shorts, sundresses, rompers, light layers... please keep them preppy and appropriate for school... sandals, sneakers and boat shoes and wear simple jewelry and accessories to compliment your outfit.
DOCK WORKERS:
These people are down and dirty worker types. They work outside in the sun all day so we want to make sure the clothing is as lightweight as possible. The saddest, most worn out old sneakers, wellies, shorts, T-shirts, work shirts, sun shirts, fishing shirts, dirty old tank tops, hats and sunglasses. Cargo utility or dickies type pants. The more worn in the better!
ADULT POGUES:
These are the folks who live and work in the Outer Banks. Blue collar types. Keep it casual- cut off shorts and the shirt you throw on to cut the grass is just perfect. Also feel free to bring anything with personality- worn in overalls, beat up bucket hats, old fishing shirts etc. Please take a look at the inspiration photos below and bring items along those lines.
Men- please bring your most worn in t-shirts and tanks, faded swimsuits and shorts, old hats, sunglasses, beat up sneakers and flip flops.
Women- please bring your most worn in t-shirts and tanks, faded swimsuits, old shorts and skirts, super casual dresses, sunglasses, beat up sneakers, flips flops, sandals, and casual purses.
TEEN POGUES:
Think skater and surfer kids in high school. You are the more bad kids in school.
Guys- please bring tees, hoodies, jean jackets, jeans, skate shorts, cargo shorts, vans, converse, layered jewelry and funky socks. All accessories and wardrobe personality are welcome!
Girls--are encouraged to dress just as funky and skater/outsider-ish... skirts and dresses are fine as long as they are school appropriate. Layer them up with tights, grunge layers and boots... think Urban Outfitters.
DEPUTIES:
Please bring white undershirts, black socks and black tactical boots if you have them.
ND DRIVERS:
Men- please bring flip flops, sneakers, tshirts, short sleeve button front shirts, shorts, casual pants, baseball hats, and sunglasses.
Women- please bring shorts, tank tops, t-shirts, tops, casual pants, casual summer dresses, sandals, sneakers, and flip flops, sunglasses, and casual purses.
