Production Design assistants needed


As part of a new short film project we are looking for a number of creative individuals to collaborate with during pre-production.

Jobs will include:

•  Costume design and making of costumes, plus sourcing of appropriate clothing
•  Set decoration and sourcing materials, furniture, props etc.
•  Prop making
•  Storyboard art

The short will be filmed by professional film makers on a cinema quality digital camera and will garner worldwide
exposure both through film festivals and online.


To give you a better idea of the films aesthetic here are the basic elements we will need to produce:


•  A Shaman / Witch doctor style costume
•  Villager outfits, East European / Central Asian in style
•  A Mongolian Yurt (nomadic home) style interior
•  Tribal art and decoration

There is a mix of both modern day and traditional tribal elements, there is no specific time or place to the setting.

We would also like someone to work with the director to produce storyboards.



We want creative people from any field, be it fashion, fine art or film, whether you are looking to gain experience
in film production, would like to add to your portfolio or cv, or just want to see your work up on the big screen.
We are based in the Northwest of England (Manchester) but are open to collaborating with people further afield if necessary.

If you are interested please send up to 5 images of your work (no larger than 5MB in total) to: info@jroper.co.uk

Or alternatively send us a link to your website, blog, Flickr page etc. 
Our previous short 'Outside', which you can watch here: www.jroper.co.uk/film/outside, was made on a budget of £2,500 funded by Vision+Media. It was short-listed in the Top 20 Experimental category of the Vimeo awards 2010.
