BRIEF:
Our HERO is a smart, curious woman in her late 20s/early 30s who feels cheeky, fun-loving and completely herself, with an expressive face that can also give us a beautiful sense of contentment and wonder when we come in close.
Our concept revolves around an ever-evolving device in the hands of our user, so we should feel her personality even through the way she handles it; technically, we want someone ambidextrous with exceptionally steady, confident hands, great coordination and the precision to repeat intricate Tablet choreography and practical FX. Acting twins would be a big bonus, as would any previous magic or sleight-of-hand experience, but neither is a requirement. Other great qualities could be drumming or music experience. Fingers that can do little tricks and reveals etc.
** this may just be hands seen in the final spot – TBC on if the artist face will be shown.
Hands:
Playing Age: Hands should read as roughly 25–35.
Female-presenting, but natural and not overly manicured hands.
Ethnicity: Open to all Ethnicities.
Look: Modern, youthful, stylish, approachable. Interesting and distinctive without distracting from the tablet.
Hands/Nails: Healthy, well-kept hands. Short-to-medium natural nails. Neutral/simple polish or no polish. No overly prominent tattoos, scars, or nail art.
Movement: Extremely important. Looking for someone with excellent hand dexterity and coordination. Comfortable with precise, choreographed movements, sleight-of-hand-style actions, spins, flips, catches, and manipulating practical props.
Performance: Curious, confident, playful. The hands should feel like an extension of a real person discovering how the tablet works. Not like traditional product-demo hands.
Experience: Magician, dancer, movement performer, or someone with object-manipulation experience preferred.
