BBC promo for CBEEBIES – I NEED REAL LITTLE
STUNNERS PLEASE !! Company: Red Bee Media. Producer: Joanna Yeldham.
Director: James Gilchrist
Shoot: TBC
Fee: See below
Summary In this clever spot for the BBC we see our beautiful kids light up
with excitement and wonder as they are woven around our magical set by our
master puppeteers. Our puppeteers will be in all black suits so they’re
almost invisible, whilst holding and weaving our kids around to make them
look like they’re flying. See link to Pepsi ad below for the technique…

Seeking:
BOYS: (Males aged 5) Our kids need big smiling eyes, eyes that gobble up the
world around them and faces that light up when theyre interested and
intrigued. Really beautiful, exquisite faces. They should have good natural
range theyre expressions; understated,
straight, but with the ability to light up. It would be great if they have
some form of movement training, like circus school, dancing or gymnastics,
or have parents that are very physical- it’s this kind of experience which
will make the kids feel much more comfortable
quicker and help us to maximize our shoot time. Id like them all to be ever
so slightly quirky and brimming with character with an interesting faces –
nothing bland or boring, a hint of individuality. Fee: Children: £60 per
shoot day. Parent as chaperone: £60 per shoot day Professional chaperone:
£90 per shoot day (we will only need a professional if the parent or
guardian cant attend the shoot) FOR USE ON CEBEEBES. Refs:

PUPPETEERS: M/F. 25 – 55) Need some very clever, strong puppeteers here.
They will be wearing full black body suits to blend entirely into the
background as they make the children look like they are flying/ floating-
see link of example in Summary. Think Bunraku theatre.
We need masters of moving- anyone with any experience from Avenue Q/
Warhorse would be brilliant. Need to be pretty strong, as will be holding
and lifting a 5 year old around the set. Will need to be CRB checked.
