Status: CLOSED
The deadline to apply for this particular project has passed, but please visit our Casting Calls page to sign up for general consideration.
Project Details
Project Title: Adidas Skate
Type of Project: Commercial Video & Photoshoot
Client: Adidas
Union Status: SAG-AFTRA (you don’t need to be a union member to be hired.)
Summary: We need extras of all kinds for a video showcasing a day in the life of a pro-athlete.
Talent Rate:
EXTRAS: ~$366/day (up to 8 hours)
EXPERT SKATERS: ~$2500/day (up to 8 hours), plus additional pay for the use of your image. Note that not all advanced roller skaters will be cast in these roles (some will be extras)
Since this is a union project, the pay is a scale, rather than an exact amount. Final pay will be based on the usage of your image. It might be more than the estimate above, but won’t be less.
Talent Rate includes your hours worked and the use of your image. Note we are only casting talent who are not represented by a talent agent, as there is no +20% agency fee.
Usage:
Video: Online, New Media (1 year) Industrial (21 months)
Stills: BLT (online, social and in-store usage) in perpetuity
Additional usage terms for Expert Skaters to be outlined at booking.
DATES
Auditions: None - we will cast directly from photo submissions
Shoot Dates: 1 day between Oct 16-26 (weekdays)
IMPORTANT: You’ll only work one day, but must be fully available for all possible days in order to apply. This means you don’t have any conflicts you can’t move if needed, and you can be completely flexible to work anytime between 5am-10pm on the day you’re booked.
Fitting/Rehearsal: Expert Skaters will also be required to attend a wardrobe + rehearsal session (date and time TBD Oct 12-25).

Roller Skaters: All ages (kids, teens, adults). All genders and looks welcome!

Male Basketball Players: You should be 18+ and comfortable playing pickup basketball games. Experience on a high school, college, or recreational team is great, but you don’t need to be an expert!
