Roman legionaries await instructions to march. Our role included sourcing 100 specialist extras for an ambitious 3 day shoot on behalf of Saatchi and Saatchi and MJZ, then training and co-ordinating them on set, dressed and drilled as Roman legionaries (in kit from the film Gladiator). So if you need large numbers of soldiers to look the part on screen, look no further!
As usual, our specialist extras were quick and efficient in changing formation or repeating sequences (usually in a slightly different spot) as requested, allowing a cgi army of thousands to be built up on screen with the minimum of time taken. Production crew commented on how much more they had been able to film in the time available compared with what could have been done with non-specialist extras.
