Welcome back to OBX SEASON 2---Shooting THURSDAY, JAN. 21ST! 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.
DOCK WORKERS/DRIVERS/CRANE OP:
These are hardworking longshoremen who labor on the industrial docks loading and unloading big cargo ships. You really can't be too greasy/dirty/sweaty! Think heavy-duty workwear - Carharrt, Dickies, Red Kap, Wrangler - mixed with grubby t-shirts, old jeans and cargo pants, flannels, sweatshirts, and boots. Hats are good, as are hardhats and safety vests. Stains, holes, paint splatters, and dirt are highly encouraged! If you don't have anything already stained and dirty, we'd really appreciate you bringing clothes we can add some "movie dirt" to for an authentic look. Avoid shorts and bring a layer if you wear a tank top! As always, stay away from large logos or graphics.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR BRINGING GREAT OPTIONS!
