Polo Players need Fri 6/9 at the Westway for Filming

Hi all, I'm shooting a short online thing next Friday and I'm planning on shooting a polo sequence as part of it at the Westway. I've got the court, but I need players, bikes etc otherwise it's not going to look too good.

I need 5 players and could do with a loaner bike as I'm getting an actor to be player no 6. Be good if people have played before and could help a complete noob in the form of said actor. (And Director, but I'm not planning on playing).

We can pay, not enough to retire on, but probably enough for a decent night out. Court is booked from 5.30pm - 10pm on Friday night although if anyone can turn up a bit earlier it'd be cool.

DM me or leave messages here and I'll try to get in touch. It should hopefully be a cool little film, shooting in slo-mo with some fire effects thrown in.

Thanks in advance.

Martin

I can do early as I have to work 830pm on friday

What's the film for?

It's a marketing thing for Sony for the IBC show in Amsterdam

They're offering 75 quid cash for each player for the evening.

More meeja hos jumping on the bike polo bandwagon, nice...

insert kevrons

"actor"

more kevrons

I'm guessing the OP couldn't reach an agreement with LHBPA then...
The race to the bottom starts here kids!!!

Couldn't even get an answer from LHBPA as it goes. Thought I'd throw myself into the flames ...

Just trying to go where everyone else would just film some skateboarders ...

we have been discussing it scanners, we recieved your email via RBKC 2 days ago after you apparently didn't get back to the LHBPA when we asked some follow up questions.
Email coming your way....

Cheers guys. Sorry, never got the email. Thought I was being blanked ...

email sent, could people please check the LHBPA private forum for discussion of this, thanks.

I've replied to the email and obviously I'll await the response. Seeing as the LHPBA are involved I'll do everything in conjunction with them. If I can't reach an agreement with them, I'll go and film some skateboarders ...

Cheers

Cheers Scanners, your response is being discussed and we will get back to you as soon as possible

Okay it seems we have agreement in principle with the LHBPA, idea being we'll give players a token payment and the bulk of the cash to the LHBPA. So hopefully we're back up and running. Any takers? Would greatly appreciate it

So far those who have expressed interest (from the lhbpa thread) for filming from 5.30 this friday:
