Shooting Hartman | Call for Extras Announced
Accompanying Concert Wednesday, July 21 from 8 pm

HICKORY/MOORESVILLE – TRI-RAHN PICTURES and VELA FILMS are very pleased to announce their collaboration with “Hartman” on the feature film “Pendulum Swings.” As part of the production, Hartman will perform a concert on Wednesday, July 21 at “The Cove” in Mooresville, NC. Immediate information can be found and followed by fanning both film and band Facebook pages.

What makes this event unique is that we and the band will shoot a major concert scene for the film preceding the actual live show. Shots from this concert segment of the shoot will also be included in Hartman’s accompanying music video. When shooting for the film and video is complete, the band will perform a full concert with the help of the fantastic sound and light crew of The Cove Church.

For this event, we will need a full group of extras to be in attendance to create an exciting atmosphere for the scene, as well as the music video. There is no age limit. However, please keep in mind that this is a powerful Christian concert, and there will be a lot of volume and a lot of lights.

Attendance will be limited, so the first extras to fill the auditorium will be the extras filmed for the scene and music video. The capacity at the venue is 1,700. There are large screen monitors all around the entrance to the main auditorium, so viewing the concert is still possible if maximum capacity has already been reached.

Call time for extras on the day will be 3 pm. Shooting will be from 4 pm until 7 pm. The concert will begin at 8 pm and will be video recorded for a live DVD. All extras on camera will be required to sign an agreement for the film and the Live Concert DVD. The wardrobe should be casual or dress clothes. NO VISIBLE LOGOS or BRIGHT COLORS will be permitted.

The location is The Cove Church, 197 Langtree Rd, Mooresville, NC 28115. Please visit covechurch.org.
