I got a call today asking if i can be in for Wednesday for filming, so id guess anyone who hasnt been called for costume etc would be running out of time

unreggd

Wed as in tomorrow, or next week?

You're a guard, right?

jimbis

Well i know with the tudors (same casting people) when i went to the open casting i didnt get a call off them till about 3 months after!
So theres hope yet!:D

unreggd

Mark27

Wednesday as in next week (July). She said they would be putting on a free bus and she would ring me back tuesday with the details.

And yep, Pendragon Guard!

Galvasean

Don't be disheartened if you havnt been called yet. This is a big series and filming is taking palce for a few months. They'll need many more extras, not to mention many different varietes of extra, in the coming months.

Was it just the one day yer needed for?

I'm an Archer so I think we'll only be used for battle scenes.

I wanna throw down my bow and have a knife-fight with an enemy who manages to scale the walls! :P

Mark27

I dont know how many days its for because i was dying to go the toilet when she rang so i was in too much of a hurry to ask her.

Archer sounds good but i suppose it depends on how much work you're going to get. Think il take the pike over the bow in this case! Let the violence begin!!

unreggd

Yeah, you'll defo be needed more

But Archers look the shiz! Esp on the top of a CASTLE

Holdin me bow SIDEWAYS

Yeowwwwww :P

T-b0n3

Got a call today. Going for costume fitting tomorrow and working Monday to Thursday I think.

Hope its a good laugh. Any one else hear anything? Anyone know what the pay is like or when I can expect to get paid?

Thanks

unreggd

Did they say what you're gna be?

Got paid €20 for the 2 hour fitting. Havent received it though, so not sure when. I'm assumin a cheque will come in the post

I was called for filming yday, but then they cancelled, so dno when Ill be filming again

boo

T-b0n3

No they didn't tell me what I was going to be. Just that I have a costume fitting tomorrow for about half an hour, then work Monday- Wednesday and maybe Thursday.

jimbis

I got close to €300 for two days on the tudors, but in saying that they were two VERY long days and there was overtime on that too. But the pay is good enough, id do it for free to be honest .

T-b0n3

Just got a text (and two missed calls), filming on Monday has been postponed and that they will call when they know the new dates.

Great

Did you have your costume fitting? If so, what you playing?

It all seems very inefficient at the mo

Coronation Male or something like that. Not sure of the exact spelling.

fergisimo

Just applied. Hope I'm not too late. Was an extra in The Wind That Shakes The Barley, fantastic day on set!

unreggd

Anyone done any filming yet ??

T-b0n3

Yea. I was in all day Wednesday and Thursday. Was good fun. Was in at 630am both days and left around 7/8pm. Got about 130 for each day. Hopefully I'll get another call soon.

If any one has any questions I'll try my best to answer them.

No haven't been paid yet. Heard you get a cheque in the post a week or two after. But not sure how correct that info is.

Anyone in, in the morning? Were getting picked up at 6.15am :eek: and working until about 7pm he said. Its my second day of proper filming and thought the first day was alright, filming on a made up castle up in Sallygap. First half of the day was good but it kind of dragged after that i felt. Just soldiers and archers and the main cast were used. Seriously envied Eva Green, she came on set for 5 minutes of sitting on a horse and went away again. Then her double did the rest of the filming for her. Its going to be another long day tomorrow for the minium wage, god i wish i could find a proper job again and try get my career back on track!!

Got paid aswell yesterday, days wages, costume fitting and 30e for food allowance so was alright.
