Casting

For an opening montage and end titles, we need young people aged 7 to 12 to re-create some of the Olympic sports from a fun point of a view. We are looking at filming very short sections, each shot will be between 5 and 10 seconds long. This to be inter-cut with original Olympic footage of torch bearers from over the years. These shots will all be filmed individually and can be in any space, from a local field near you too your own back garden. You can do as many sports as you like to recreate, just pick an Olympic event and have some fun, you can even use our four foot deep heated splash pool for swimming (must be able to swim underwater) and our trampoline, if nothing else its an afternoon of fun, on top of this you will get your name on the film credits. Please see a list of sports below and what clothing is required. For more information a parent or guardian must contact us, info@iowfilms.com and be in full attendance at all times.
