This project was so much fun. It's part one in a three part series we're creating to educate investors on how the UCASA mobile application will work. Written, Directed, and Voiced (including all folly) by Michael Dean Dargie. Art Direction and Animation by Nicholas Acs.

The first in a series of custom explainer videos that show how a typical family tries to schedule, price out, pick a contractor, and ultimately decide what to upgrade…

CASTING CALL - Non-Union, Paid
-------------------------------------------------
PROJECT: 'Rediscover Calgary From Above, Below, and Within'
PRODUCER: MD&A INC. 'Make More Creative' & Dropbear and Panda Productionz
CLIENT: Rocky Mountain Sidecar Adventures and The Calgary Tower
WHEN: Sunday, August 9, 2020
TIMES: Call 0700; Wrap 1800
CASTING: Two people (see below for details)
COMPENSATION (per person): $200 + Gift Certificate for 1 (one) Brewery Tour via Sidecar + 2 Tickets to Calgary Tower

-------------------------------------------------
SAFETY: Safe Sets™ COVID-19 Level A Certification
Dedicated Director of Set Safety
-------------------------------------------------

ABOUT THE PROJECT
We are looking for one couple—or two people from the same cohort (shared residence or social group)—to spend the day being driven in a motorcycle sidecar visiting a variety of locations in Calgary, including the 'Observation Deck' of the Calgary Tower.

The couple we're looking for are adventurous and fun-loving Calgarians with big smiles and would enjoy seeing Calgary from an entirely different perspective.

The finished project is a 60-second commercial encouraging people enjoy their 'staycation' and rediscover Calgary in a truly unique and exciting way. It will be used in social media and marketing materials for both Rocky Mountain Sidecar Adventures and The Calgary Tower.

SPECIAL NOTES
You will be in a motorcycle sidecar being driven by professional drivers — if you are prone to motion sickness this project might not be a good fit.

You will be in the Calgary Tower on the Observation Deck, standing on the glass floor overlooking downtown — if you are afraid of heights this project isn't a good fit.

In several shots you will be in close proximity to your scene-partner with no mask, which is why we require couples, or people from a shared social group.

You must complete a COVID-19 screening questionnaire prior to being hired, and again prior to filming.

All cast and crew will be informed of SET SAFETY precautions taken, and will be following strict on-set protocols.

HOW TO SUBMIT
Please send headshots and resumes of both people (couples)(cohort) to [email protected].

You may be asked to provide a 15- to 30-second hand-held video (selfie by phone is acceptable) of the two of you out in the world interacting.

Thank you in advance for your interest!
