Fixie Skidderz Needed for Video Shoot

Ey up guys.

I'm looking for a bunch of hipsters to ride a little bit and pose for cameras for a music video that's being shot this Monday 20th October if any of you are available. Meeting at...

26 Marlborough Close, Elephant & Castle SE17 3AP at 6PM

I'm gonna spam all the usual places but feel free to share with non-forumengers.

There'll be a small, mobile, indie crew: lights, camera, focus, producer, director etc. They'll be shooting at a high frame rate on a RED camera if that means anything to any of you.

It's for my band's new single which you can hear here - http://diymag.com/2014/10/15/breton-announce-deluxe-edition-of-war-room-stories-stream-new-titan-track

Here's some previous work so you can see the level of production we're aiming for.

The director is looking for upwards of a dozen people to ride around a small traffic-free area in Elephant & Castle and generally 'look interesting'. You won't be needed to wheelie, whipskid, barspin or do that Dylan Buffington twirl everyone attempted and posted on Instagram. Nothing fancy other than pose, chat, ride around a small area and take basic direction from the crew while they film. This part of the shoot will comprise one element of the video that will have people on bikes in it but it isn't a video about bikes or people on bikes – hope that makes sense.

Looking for:

• Male or female
  
• Any age
  
• Visible Tattoos/Piercings/Beards etc would be a bonus
  
• Fixed only, no roadies
  
• Slave bikes/Slave-ish rats would be great but not essential
  
• Black/Dark clothing preferred
  
• Casual dress but no overtly cycle specific clothing – ie Wear as much SWRVE as you like but no lycra/fluro
  
  

You've heard it a million times but the budget is very small and we've spunked most of it on the camera rental so there'll be no cash payment but we'll get plenty of beers for those who show. And of course, you'll be doing a favour for a fellow cyclist who will be eternally grateful.

Please get in touch with the director, Lexi Kiddo and let him know you'll be coming along so he can co-ordinate with you and keep track of numbers. He can be reached at this address:

Cheers,

Ian

Am I about to get rinsed for some reason?

Probably not, cinema snacks happen best on Friday afternoons.

Good.
'Cause despite the obvious ribbing I can expect for actively seeking out hipsters, it is a serious request.

you call yourself out too easily with the cycling attire yourself..

good luck, i think there's still some hard headed fixayskidders who havent embraced fluro and freewheels

...somewhere...

Just so you know it's going to piss down with rain.

Yeah... I'm a sucker for brands and that.

Had a few responses already so it looks hopeful.

I expected as much.
It'll still look shit hot at 400fps though.

I might be free Ian. Good day out. No work.

Right behind my house. It might be time to put the silly wheel back on the Mash!

Wearing black, with tattoos, riding fixed and drinking beer? Sounds perfect for me, but I can't get there for 6.

They'll start shooting at 6 and keep going for about an hour I imagine. Email the guy and see what he says?

Vanneau, that picture is fucking amazing.

Cheers Ian.
I forgot to tag you on Facebook... sorry... would love to see you there.

Have you seen the original video? Shot round a semi derelict Salford - many Morrissey, such 80s, wow.

30 year old, "alternative" musician , from The North, displaced to London?
Do you even stereotype bro?

@Tree_Trunks, I don't know what that question means... I'm sorry.

I'm free, have silly bike and I'm sure I can find something in the wardrobe that isn't lycra. Probably not cool enough though.

Sorry. I'm too slow. Can't you see I'm still in my pyjamas? It's early^

@6pt I'm sure you'll do just fine sir. Email the dude and give him your details etc...

Black is my colour. I'm in.

dress in black, ride funny bike?

Genuinely ashamed at the lack of trolling going on

Genuinely ashamed at the lack of trolling going on

I assume that will happen when everyone turns up in Rapha mounted on geared carbon mamil-chariots

I'm in for this dude, you going to make a cameo on the NJS?

does it matter what bike is being ridden? is there a standard that the director is looking for?
