Stan Onymous Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 What I have an Inmotion V5F and V8? Are they now in the Solowheel family? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Slap a Solowheel sticker on those babies and you should be good to go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Onymous Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Aw they'll have one there most likely.? Action! It will be fun to see who else is riding in L.A. and get them to join our group rides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fat Unicyclist Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 @Marty Backe you should slap some Solowheel stickers on a Gotway (and your helmet) and see if you can infiltrate them... It would be fantastic if you made it to the final cut! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Onymous Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 @Marty Backe can borrow one of my Inmotions. I'll even pm ya when they get back to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katie O'Connor Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 Hey everyone! Thanks so much for your replies! If you have experience in any of the above (V5 and V8's count!) we'd love to have you come by! Our auditions will be held from 10:30am-5pm in Poinsettia Park in Hollywood. The address is: 7341 Willoughby Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90046 You'll want to go to the basketball courts (you'll see some setup and signage) ask for Doug and KC and tell them you're from the forum- they'll get you all set up! The commercial, should you book it pays up to $3,000 and will shoot either on the 14th, 15th or 16th (TBD) and callbacks to meet with our clients would be on the 8th. Thank you and we hope to see you there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Thre...three thousand dollars? I am so there with my Solowheel One E+! Ah, it's a lesser known, older model that very few people know about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehab1 Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 $3000! That should draw some interest! Why shoot the commercial in LA? The beautiful scenery, riding conditions and perfect weather will only muck up the shot. Come to my area and enjoy our emotionally arid flatlands, barren landscape and unpredictable weather.

WARPed1701D Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Hmm. I'm too far away so I guess my opinion is a moot point...but as a Inmotion V8 owner I'm feeling that doing this would be akin to "selling my soul to the devil". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Vu Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 $3000 is nice, but the big question is do we get any royalties? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan Onymous Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 @Sven has the backwards riding skills and those Nordic Cheek bones. He's a shoe in should he show up. I will gladly let him borrow one of my wheels as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katie O'Connor Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 Hi Everyone, Because of how specific (moreover expensive) solo wheels are we ask that you guys bring your own! There are no residuals, as this is a non-union commercial. However there are opportunities for the spot to be renewed, which would guarantee further payment. See attached the specs for the spot and hopefully we'll see you out there today! BRIGHT HEALTH SPECS.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieV Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 So from reading the document, my (very possibly incorrect) understanding is that you will be paid $1000 for being filmed (if selected). If the footage you're in makes it to the final cut to be released then you get an extra $2000. They get to use this footage for a year. If they want to use the footage for second year, you get $2200 more. For a third year, $2420 more on top of that. There's even more money if they broadcast the commercial on TV in countries outside the US and if they use your footage on the radio. From the document name, "BRIGHT_HEALTH_SPECS.pdf", I'm assuming the commercial is for Bright Health which, from Google's search results, is a health insurance company. My only concern would be how "solo wheels" [sic] and their riders are portrayed in the commercial. If we are to be portrayed as lazy, unhealthy, non-exercising dorks then I'd rather this role be left unfilled. Still, $3000 can help a lot in growing that collection of ewheels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Don't forget that 10% agent fee that goes to the agent. @Marty Backe As your representative, I just needed to bring that up as a reminder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katie O'Connor Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 Hi guys, Your character is a friendly helpful lab technician... who just happens to be an electric unicycle rider We are not brand specific guys, if you can ride an electric unicycle please come see us today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 So this isn't related to the company "Solowheel" at all. You're just looking for electric unicycle riders in general, for a commercial also unrelated to electric unciycles. Your original post is a bit misleading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Ahhh that makes more sense. We call these Electric Unicycles in general. Sort of like cars are cars and hoverboards are hoverboards. Solowheel is a specific brand name of electric unicycle just like Ford or GM is a brand of car or Swagtron or Phunkyduck is a brand of hoverboard. So the doors to $3000 minus any agent fees are wide open! Why didn't you say so in the first place? @nbxpq3 @Sketch @Roll Model @enigma35 @csmyers @jrkline @noisycarlos @Questor @swvision @Ando Melkonyan @abinder3 @captainwells @Tjtripp @Sven @unowheel @Mushuukyou @Alsayyad @Marvin Ong @HeavyGoing @Kimosabi @zentype @n2eus @Peter Q Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katie O'Connor Posted August 4, 2017 Author Share Posted August 4, 2017 Sorry for the confusion guys, this isn't really my world!!! If you can make it to the park before 5pm today we would love to see you! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Onymous Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Just went to the audition. Its a breeze! One line to say, and after they make sure you can ride a Unicycle, any brand will do, not Soloswheel specific. Great to see this process from the other side. The commercial director is right out of central casting. Infact I wish we had him in auditions for my last movie I executive produced. Lol spot on! thanks a ton and hope to hear back from them, but the role is still wide open, sorry to say for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 @Stan Onymous Nice work. Steering the thread right from the start, so everyone believes it's a commercial by and for Solowheel (a bad company nobody has a wheel from), while taking the real role for yourself That's @Hunka Hunka Burning Love level scheming! Hunka, you have to counteract this by quickly getting your client (you know who) to this audition! (unless you two conspired for this to happen, as you piled on the thread misdirection, then just kudos) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
