Actor/Model (m/f) for an automotive commercial

We are producing four short promotional videos (25 to 30 seconds each) for a well-known international automotive brand (name to be disclosed upon contract signing) featuring the accessory lineup for a new electric SUV.

The videos contain no dialogue. They depict everyday situations involving the car: loading luggage, opening the roof rack, attaching a bike rack, getting in, and driving off. The story is told through rhythm, editing, music, and numerous close-ups, rather than through dialogue.

Production: FORMAT67, Mainz. The direction and cinematography employ a fashion-forward, urban visual style.
Usage: all media except TV commercials, worldwide, 7 years. Buyouts are included in the fee.
Fee: €2,000 for 1 day of shooting, including all buyouts. A flat rate that truly covers everything.

Included are:
The shoot day itself
The fitting on the evening before the shoot (about 1 hour)
All buyouts: 7-year term from initial release, worldwide, all media except TV commercials
All incidental expenses: Travel to and from the location, train fare, gas, parking, taxi fare, any necessary overnight stay, and meals away from the set

We have deliberately opted for a flat rate instead of billing expenses individually. For you, this means: no collecting receipts, no cost estimates, and no waiting for reimbursement. You’ll know exactly in advance how much you’ll receive.

What this means in practice: If you live near the filming location, you won’t need a hotel and will have minimal travel costs, so you’ll keep almost all of the €2,000. If you’re coming from farther away, you decide for yourself whether the travel and lodging are worth it for you. We don’t impose any requirements, but we’ll be upfront about this from the start.

Payment by invoice, due within 14 days. Please apply only if you can issue an invoice.

Please submit the following with your application:

• A recent portrait, without makeup and unfiltered.

• A recent full-body photo.

• Audition video (e-casting / self-tape), required. Max. 60 seconds, portrait orientation: state your name, age, and city of residence directly to the camera. Followed by a silent sequence involving an everyday object: slinging a bag over your shoulder, zipping up a backpack, pushing a bicycle. We’re interested in the movement, not the dialogue. Unfortunately, we cannot consider applications without a video.

• Height, clothing size, and shoe size.

• Confirmation of availability for the entire time frame, including the brief fitting the evening before: October 5 through October 8, 2026 (Monday through Thursday, including the fitting).

• Confirmation that you can issue an invoice.

Application deadline: September 22, 2026.
Applications as a couple are strongly encouraged; if applying as a couple, please also include a photo of the two of you together. Individual applications are also accepted; we will cast couples from among them.

For this role, we need you for 1 day of filming. Please keep October 5 through October 8, 2026 (Monday through Thursday, including the fitting) free: Your shooting day is tentatively scheduled for October 7, with the fitting the evening before. If the shoot is postponed by one day, one of the alternative dates within this window will apply.

The fitting will take place the evening before the shoot and will last about 1 hour. It is already included in the fee.

Clothing, shoes, and accessories will be provided. We’d also be happy to use an outfit of your own for the shoot—our stylist will contact you about this. If an outfit you bring is actually used in the shoot, we’ll pay an additional flat fee of €100. The arrangement is handled through our stylist.

You’re responsible for arranging your own travel, any necessary overnight stay, and all related logistics. This may sound strict at first, but there’s a good reason: the fee is a flat rate that already includes these costs. You don’t have to submit any expense reports, collect receipts, or wait for anything.

If you live nearby, it’s a simple matter. If you’re coming from farther away, please do a quick calculation beforehand to see if the travel and hotel costs are worth it for you. We want to be upfront about this before you go to the trouble of applying.

On set, you’ll find a small, well-coordinated team. We work at a relaxed pace and allow plenty of time.

Role Description:
One half of a young couple getting ready for a trip. The scene is performed together with a partner: carrying luggage out of the house, loading the roof rack and bike rack, securing the bike, getting in the car, and driving off. Includes many close-ups of hands and movements. It’s important to be able to repeat a movement several times identically and smoothly.

Requirements:

• Type: Suitable for a female role to form a believable couple. Fashion-conscious, urban, and understated.

• Performance: Relaxed and natural, self-assured, with a slightly playful undertone. No dialogue, no script work.

• Special requirements: Operate a roof rack and bike rack, install a trailer hitch, carry luggage and equipment. A driver’s license is a plus; driving on public roads is not required.

• Language: German or English; the films have no dialogue

• Styling: Provided in full; no need to bring your own clothes

• No tattoos on the face or hands (close-ups of hands)

• Payment: Must be able to issue invoices (as a self-employed individual, small business owner, or through an agency)
