Now, I know that on some TV shows and film sets they will call on help from Larpers and more commonly reenactors.
I know that there is a large call for directors who are doing different films ideas and are forced to downscale their plans due to not being able to get the amount of actors they need or the gear/props.
Out of curiosity, is there any one on the forums who has been hired by a director for film purposes?
The cost of hiring guns and costumes can get very expensive, and while alot of small time directors have the ample skill for VFX, they lack the budget for the big costs of films. Usually you wont get paid just free food and drink for the day while filming.
But if there is teams/groups of people in the area who have the gear and the idea and like the idea of getting into a few films Id suggest getting onto Star now and making an account to state that you are an active airsofter what gear and loadouts you have (post pictures, Good pictures are important)
I can tell you now, film sets are a huge laugh and very entertaining so if you can do it, and have the time you should go ahead and do it.
It may also be worth going to universities and getting into contact with the media students as they will usually need good props/costumes and actors.
And just because I want to rape views for the past videos I've helped out on Im going to post the quality of work you can expect from unknown directors.
The first video was a 48 hour challenge for the london sci-ci event (Judge was gilmore del toro(Hell boy director)
so in all, if you have spare time and want something to keep you busy and entertained this summer. then help out a director.
