12/1 - ENDURO

   Welcome back to OBX SEASON 4---Shooting FRIDAY, DECEMBER 1st!! 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

POGUE SPECTATORS

Think skater and surfer kids in high school. You are the more bad kids in school, so please bring options that look well-worn and grungy. Please bring summer outfit options, including tank tops, t-shirts, shorts, sneakers and sandals. But keep in mind we will be shooting outside for multiple days in a row, so bring long-sleeve and pant options, as well as light layers along with your other items. Bring a heavy coat to wear on set in between takes as well. Please also bring swim options and accessories, like non-mirrored sunglasses, hats, bandanas/gaiters, and jewelry. Bring sheer tights if you have them for warming.
