We were asked to see if any 'passionate' Hammers fans wanted to earn a few quid this weekend, don't know about passionate, probably more like compassionate at the moment, but here's the blurb...
"Hammond Cox Casting (www.hammondcoxcasting.com) are currently looking for passionate West Ham fans for a well paid commercial. You'd be paid to go to West Ham's game against Boro on Saturday and to film yourself before or during the game.
To apply, all we would need from you is a 2 minute selfie style audition video shot on your phone. In it we would like you to tell us why you love West Ham, your best moment of being a West Ham fan and then film yourself watching a youtube clip of a memorable West Ham moment. The videos are supposed to be live and not performed so the more real they feel the better. We are particularly looking for groups of fans so the more mates you can get in the video the better.
If you are selected you will each be paid £500 for the filming session on Saturday and a further £2000-3000 each if you are featured in the advert.
We need to get the videos to the director ASAP as he will be choosing people before Saturday. When you send your videos in please remember to include the full names and contact details for everyone who appears in the video.
If you're interested please email projectmango@hammondcoxcasting.com for more details."

The full communique was as follows:

Project Mango

We’d love for you to put yourself forward for this commercial. It’s an international
campaign for a large company, the name of which we can’t currently reveal. What we can
say is that this is a commercial shoot that is taking place in lots of locations all over the
world, and which should result in a dynamic commercial with a truly international feel.

Here in the UK we’re looking for non-actors. People who don’t have any performing
experience who will simply be themselves in the commercial. Specifically we’re looking for
groups of West Ham Fans who are available to film at the match on Saturday 1st October.

Beyond that, anyone is welcome! We’re interested in all types of people. So why not put
yourself forward with some friends and family!

Here’s some general information about the job:

• Everyone chosen to take part in the shoot will be given a camera to film themselves
– selfie style. They will not have to attend a set in the traditional way. The selfie
footage they shoot will end up being in the commercial.

• Everyone asked to take part in the shoot will be paid a session fee of £500.00

• Everyone whose footage ends up in the commercial will be paid a further £2,000 -
£3,000 each (figure varies depending on the number of people in the group – to
be clear, each member of the group will receive a separate fee)

• Everyone asked to take part in the shoot will need to be available for filming this
Saturday 1s October.

How to Apply

To put yourself forward for this we simply need your contact details (and names and
contact details of everyone in your group) and then a simple short audition videos that you
can record on your phone. Here’s what should be on your video:

• An introduction to you and everyone in your group.
• Answer the questions below.
• Film yourself and your friends watching a memorable West Ham moment on
youtube.

Once you have filmed your videos you can email them to us directly at:
projectmango@hammondcoxcasting.com

Questions For the Videos
Just choose a few that you can answer easily! If you’re a part of a group you can just do
this together. It should just be fun and informal.
1) Do any of you have a hidden talent? SHOW US in a selfie video
2) Tell us about your most emotional sports memory. This could be from a sport you played
yourself or a West Ham moment. (The thrill of victory or the agony of defeat – you choose.
SAY IT LIKE YOU MEAN IT!)
