Selftape Instructions: Hoka

SHOOT DATES: Sat 2/15-Thu 2/27

INSTRUCTIONS

Please prepare the following photos + videos. You will need 1 headshot, 2 videos, and 3-5 additional videos/photos for your audition.

Please audition for one role only. We will automatically consider you for other roles.

Materials Needed:

  • Headshot Color Photo. No hats, sunglasses, or filters. This does not have to be a professional photo. Any recent, nice quality photo.

  • Video 1: Intro Standing, waist up, 1-2 minutes. Please look directly at the camera and answer the questions listed for your role.

  • Road Runners: How many miles/week do you typically run, and what races/events are you currently training for? Are you in a run club? Tell us about a few recent races and/or running accomplishments. What does running mean to you? Please also mention if you are a para athlete and/or use adaptive equipment to run

  • Trail Runners: How many miles/week do you typically run, and what races/events are you currently training for? Are you in a run club? Please share your experiences running at elevation and difficult terrain. What does running mean to you? Please also mention if you are a para athlete and/or use adaptive equipment to run. Please mention if you run with your pet dog.

  • Video 2: Running Form Video to demonstrate your running form. Instructions are the same for all roles.

  • Instructions: Please run across the frame, parallel to camera, so we can see your full profile. Your whole body should be visible.

    • Run (at a comfortable pace) across the camera frame (at least 20 seconds)

    • Run (at a faster pace) across the camera frame (at least 20 seconds)

    Video Guidelines:

    • These should be new videos (not from a race or a past shoot.)

    • Please run on a road, trail, or track (do not run on grass or treadmills.) Only the person auditioning should be in the frame.

    • We must be able to see your full body from head to toe. Please do not record from far away - the camera should be close enough to see your facial expression.

    • If possible, please have someone else record the video so they can move the camera to keep you in frame as you run. You can also have someone record you from a car (driving parallel to you running).

    • Wardrobe: Please wear fitted running gear so we can see your physique clearly. Long hair should be pulled back and makeup should be light/natural, if any. If possible for your climate, please wear shorts and a sports bra or tank top

  • (3-5) Additional Running Video/Photos: Additional materials (videos strongly preferred if available ) showing you running, such as:

    • Real-life photos/videos from races or running events

    • Footage of you trail running

    • Materials from a previous photo/video shoot.

  • (optional) Tattoo and/or Dog Photos:

    • Photo of your dog if they trail run with you (and are available to travel with you)

    • Photos of any tattoos that would be visible when you’re wearing short running shorts (+ a sports bra if applicable).
