5/23--EXT. HEYWARD'S

    Welcome back to OBX SEASON 3---Shooting MONDAY,  MAY 23RD!!  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 isn't neon. Please do not include items with narrow stripes, neons, glitter, sequins, 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.



Please read below for more information on what you should bring based on your character

SALTY'S:
These are people who were born and raised by the ocean. Super worn in clothes that you have been fishing in for years.  Dirt and stains are great!  These people aren't thinking about fashion.  
Men/Women--Old Tees and Tanks, worn in button down shirts, dirty old jeans, shorts, fishing pants.  Work boots, rain boots or old sneakers. Old fishing hats and baseball hats.

KOOK BOATERS:
These are our Outer Banks Kooks...aka wealthy, preppy teenagers out on the beach for an all day and all night bonfire party and camp out. 

Fun, beachy casual party clothes, swimsuits and lightweight layers for the night scenes. 

Some brands that work well for the Kook characters are Vineyard Vines, Southern Tide, Ralph Lauren, Lily Pulitzer, Rainbows, & Sperrys. These are the most colorful characters on the show so please take a look at the inspiration photos below and bring items along those lines.

Men- polos, button down shirts, sun shirts, bright colored swimsuits/swim trunks, khaki and bright colored shorts, baseball hats, visors, croakies, flip-flops and boat shoes. 

Women- bathing suits, tanks, polos, skirts, shorts, rompers, coverups, sandals, boat shoes, sunglasses, casual purses, and hats.

Thank you in advance for sending/bringing great options!!
