hey guys welcome to this video today we're gonna be doing the official
casting call for Episode two I've got 11 people that I need for this segment
we're gonna be doing another segment as well for clones everything else that we
might need as well today we're gonna be going over what I exactly need with
these characters what you need to know when you're auditioning for them and
also to let me know in the emails for the vader fan film Gmail which I'm gonna
link below to send all the videos and auditions to we're gonna get into the
details of that I need to know if you want me to if you're okay with me
putting them on on Instagram and YouTube and stuff like that for others to see or
if you wanna remain private also shout out to all of you who
purchased the amethyst Edition the limited edition merch that just dropped
there's about 12 days left I appreciate all of you thank you so much I'm gonna
put the link to that in the description as well so once that's gone it's gone I
hope you all wear it to the premiere when I do have it which will hopefully
be in December of 2020 so before I digress further let's go ahead with the
video the first audition that I need and I already have a guy in mind for this
but I would it's not locked in yet so his mace windu he is 40 to 50 years old
at this point and he is a completely different Jedi than what we've seen in
episode 3 so if you want to go in there and think that you know you just got to
pretty much act like mace from episode 3 and you're partially right but not
really he's completely different at this point you have to think of what he's
gone through I don't want you to just act what you think the character would
be like I want you to really feel what the person has gone through in that role
in that character and become him so you know believe it as if it's yourself so
basically at this point mace has he blames himself for everything has gone
wrong with the galaxy he was the one who had brought down the oppression of the
Sith he was about to arrest the Chancellor he saw his Jedi Matt he's
dead I friends died right beside him as he was fighting and if it wasn't for
Anakin Skywalker's betrayal and fall to the dark side none of this would have
happened he shouldn't have listened to him he
shouldn't have hesitated he should have just killed City is right then and there
and maybe pushed Anakin to the side with the force and done what needed to be
done and none this would have ever happened so he
blames himself but ultimately at the root that blame is thrown on Anakin
Skywalker where he has taken his band of ten other Jedi who have survived order
66 who are ready for vengeance and revenge that have lost their own
Padawans have lost their Jedi masters at the hands of this imperial rule that has
now plagued the entire galaxy and branded the Jedi as traitors and evil
people and disbanded everyone they are now seeking vengeance on all of those
that they have lost because of this betrayal and because of this over rule
that has happened the Jedi are ready to be the last hope in the galaxy they are
the last line of defense think almost Avengers but now this is
them and they are literally the last ones that will save the galaxy and if
they don't if they fail then all hope is lost
so got mace windu who needs to be 40 to 50 years old very athletic you got to
have good stamina you're gonna be doing tons of fighting not just lightsaber
fighting but lots of hand-to-hand combat you're acting needs to be very good you
can't just be acting like Samuel Jackson as mace windu you need to be really
feeling the role forget Sam Jackson forget mace windu you need to feel who
the character is because I want you to focus solely on what that person has
gone through right they were their hands gone they were betrayed they were thrown
out the window how did they survive what have they gone through in this certain
time and all this darkness and they've seen the clones turn on all of their
Jedi brothers and sisters and all of their masters and their Padawan so what
is he in particular in all of them what have they all gone through what have
they seen how are they feeling eight months after all of this has really gone
down that's something you need to be aware of
so as for Mase just I'm not gonna reveal dialogue at this point because it's
still being locked I'm still changing a lot of things so just make up your own
dialogue how would Mase act if he came across
Vader who know who he knows was Anakin Skywalker and he knows betrayed him and
is the reason for all of this downfall he was the chosen one after all and Mace
never really trusted him so you have to think how would he feel in this in this
moment and you got to really embody that physically you got to be in shape and
the rest I've explained already all of you have to be good with makeup so
you're gonna be in the makeup seat some few longer than others of course build
wise we need short to tall above the age of 18 preferably that'd be nice a lot of
you around five-nine five-ten is totally fine then we need some people who are
like 6 foot 6 or whatever you know that can almost tower over Vader or at least
come you know face to face with him mace you need to be about 6 1 doesn't really
matter too much because we can just put lifts and your boots things like that we
need some husky lookin Jedi like this guy who's gonna be decked out in a lot
of makeup it's Star Wars you know it's a fan film there are gonna be a lot of
aliens I don't want just humans in there so get ready for get ready to see a lot
of lot of interesting creatures as you walk around the set for those of you who
do want to visit the set I'm gonna get to that in a different video I might do
some contests and stuff and I might fly some people out we'll see as we get
closer to actually filming so stay tuned for that as well as for the other band
of Jedi you need to be pretty athletic you need to know your way around a
lightsaber you need to have some sort of athletic abilities or skills maybe
martial arts skills or parkour or something try to try to do something in
the audition either with a lightsaber or you were acting don't make it corny
don't make a cheesy because it's I'm telling you what I want here and I'm
gonna be very cutthroat cuz that's this is this is this film is the one that I
want to be amazing so don't overact don't try to sell the
scene just feel the scene feel what the character is going to really attach
yourself with the character so if you look like any one of these you know when
four to five women five to six men and you're gonna be playing young young and
old so we're gonna have you know older and we're gonna have younger of course
so really dialog wise make up your own stuff or recite stuff from Revenge of
the Sith Attack of the Clones the Clone Wars whatever you like as I said you can
make it up if you want and if you're called again for a second casting call
for a second audition and third edition of course then we'll reveal lines to you
more more so as we near actual production because right now we're just
in pre-production I'm still finalizing the script it's not fully locked at all
the premise of the story is laid out how I want it to start how I want to end the
middle stuff is there but it needs to be cleaned up so that's gonna take a little
bit of time but everything's moving in in in good time and good speed so that's
pretty much it all I need to relay to you guys please send all your auditions
to vader fan film at gmail.com I'd love to make a real a highlight reel of some
of my top favorites and then have you guys vote on who you think is best of
course keep your comments cordial and respectful people are putting themselves
out there so it takes a lot of guts and if you don't want to be put in any
highlight reel please let me know and just just write it in the email you know
I don't want to be publicized or I don't want to be in in any online footage or
anything like that but for those of you who do also a great chance for you to
get some publicity as well so if you got a handle or whatever just let me know
when I'm more than happy to post that as well in any Instagram stuff so this is
the fun for this is literally where the fun begins so I'm excited this is this
is the part of moviemaking that I really enjoy you know making only made one
really so I'm only going off that but onset is obviously very very cool cuz
everything's super fast and it's happening but before that the build-up
and and finalizing all the characters and everything is great if you live in
the California area this is obviously going to be a plus because I don't have
to spend money to fly you down and pay for lodging and all that I'm not going
to do that for every character so let's say you know I've already gotten some
emails from actual actors which I'll review later
that upset like I just want to be in this this is super cool I just I don't
care I'll fly myself down I'll pay for my own hotel whatever just you don't
even have to pay me just throw me in there everyone hopefully we'll get some
experience out of this and some fun out of this I don't want it to just be you
know like come in there do your shot and that's it I want you to enjoy yourself
and have fun with it and at the end of the day you know with the first one a
lot of us really became kind of like a small family and here that around sets
all the time because you so much goes into it you know behind the scenes when
you guys are talking about personal lives and stuff and then on set and I
mean there's bloopers and takes and you're really pouring your emotions into
making this magic happen at the end of the day it's just for the fans and I
really hope everything is going to go well with this so I have a good feeling
about it and I couldn't be more excited all of you I hope you're okay with
makeup and prosthetics because a lot of you all of you will have some sort of
makeup or something of course as you know it is Star Wars we're gonna have a
lot of different aliens running around when you're trying to act in the scene I
want you to really feel the emotion of the character such as you know let's say
this girl for example or this girl for example what is she really going through
who has she lost and all of these backstories will slightly be revealed to
you when you get the role you know they have
lost a Padawan they have lost a master how did they survive order 66 what have
they gone through they've all gone through some sort of torment and anguish
and depression and fear and all of these things are not ways of the Jedi and they
have a tried to overcome that in order to deal with everything that's been
happening in the galaxy as a result of Darth Sidious and Darth Vader so how are
they going to bring this down of course many of none of them have ever seen
Darth Vader so when some of them seen seen some of them will see him they're
gonna crap their pants and others will be brash there will be some backstories
in here that I've written that you'll really enjoy with who some of who these
people really are and it'll tie in very nicely with episode 3 with the Clone
Wars and like that just to make a lot more fun
and you know build the universe a little more as for other casting calls these
are the primary ones these are the ones that are gonna be on screen the most so
I'm gonna start with this then we're gonna go on to the background character
it's not background but you know other characters such as clones and things
like that so I need you guys to be patient on that and if you feel like you
can fill those roles or if you can fill both roles let me know as for clones
which I'll get into another video just want to briefly touch on that we will be
destroying a lot of the the costumes because we're gonna be a lot of the
things that we couldn't do in episode 1 we're because a lot of the costumes
belong to the actual cosplayers so they didn't move like they you know they they
cared about their their armor obviously cuz they spent hours and days fixing
months fixing it and making it and paying for it so with this one I may buy
your costumes or I may actually have a prop maker a costume maker make them out
of foam so that we can you know have you act your your scenes and then maybe in
your costumes and your in your armor and then we would give the foam one to stunt
guys and they would just you know just get decimated by Vader they were not
Vader sorry bye-bye the Jedi and stuff like that
so yeah that's also an option on the table so I need you guys to be aware of
that think I've gone through everything we need a lot of tall dudes but
typically you know five-nine five-ten like myself is that's perfectly fine and
then for the women it doesn't really matter just send an audition and we'll
see how it goes from there all ethnicities are welcome I don't want
just just humans in this fan film I want aliens as well so and any whatever you
are wherever you're coming from I'll send an audition and if you seal the
role if you really like sell it and I will fly you out hundred percent because
that's what I did with some people in Episode one because they were they were
they were the they were the ones the ones so that's pretty much everything if
I need to say anything more obviously make more videos
and have at it man have fun throw yourself out there he misses a hundred
percent of the shots you don't take so go for it
break a leg as they say in show biz all right may the force be with you and I'll
see you guys later oh yeah Vader fan film at gmail.com in the
description below see you guys
