When selecting the actors for our two male protagonists we had to consider actors that could pull off the correct look, as well as them radiating confidence.
For the character 'Male#1' we selected our close friend Matt Nield, who displayed interest in starring in a music video. As the Rizzle Kicks are in fact one of his favourite bands we felt it would be easier for him to get into role and mime to the lyrics. His part would require him to mime the parts of Rizzle Kicks member Rizzle, who mimes the majority of the verse lyrics. Furthermore, we felt that Matt had a diverse enough appearance for us to change him into both geek and 'heartthrob', as his appearance has a certain youthful quality.
The selection of our second protagonist 'Male#2' came down to one of our other close friends Ryan Evans , another student who previously starred in other productions. We felt that Steve possessed the right demeanour to portray our 'nerdy' character, he himself being a self confessed geek. For his role, he was required to learn the lyrics of Rizzle Kicks member Sylvester, a task he found easy as he is also a fan of the Rizzle Kicks work. Due to Ryan's previous performances we were confident that he would portray our character both confidently and professionally.
