Looking for costumed heroes and villains for commercial on Sunday (11/20)

Submitted by SaveTheWorldPodcast t3_yuj10g in rva

Geek Wellness Education is a 501c3 mental health nonprofit for the geek community.

Our annual fundraiser is a comic con called Heroes Assemble, this year to be held at the Dewey Gottwald event center (behind the Science Museum) on December 10th.

We are filming a commercial starting at noon on Sunday 11/20...and the theme is that villains want to ruin Christmas, but Heroes Assemble to stop them. It will be fun and silly.

We would love to have some more Heroes and Villains for the commercial...and kids are welcome!

Currently we have Wonder Woman, Black Panther, Captain America, Baby Link (yes, a baby), the Miraculous heroes, Harley Quinn, The Red Hood, Elsa and Anna, Maleficent, Ghostbusters and Jack Skelington. Let us know who you can come as!

Here's last year's commercial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMeIrGYgOw4

Perfect opportunity for a clown-car style exit with some creative filming! Sounds like a fun day and a great cause.

Thats a fantastic idea! I might have to steal that.

Please take it and run with it, I hope it works out! I was thinking conga line going in one door and out the other side but costumes could wreak havoc on that. Might just have to be clever editing.

I have a homemade 1980s Princess Zelda costume if that sounds like someone you'd like to see

Actually...YES...would love to have you there!In fact...whats the scoop on the impersonation thing? I actually like the idea of involving Captain Jack in the convention itself in December (we have HOURS of Disney content planned) but couldnt find someone to impersonate him.

Star Wars is MORE than welcome! At the convention itself we'll have plenty of Star Wars...heck...earlier this year (May the 4th) we even did a Star Wars themed class on mindfulness.

Let me know! The one person I know who could do Spider-Gwen is doing Harley instead, so we have an opening for that character!

I have a scarlet witch costume! How long would it take to do the commercial filming?

Would LOVE a Scarlet Witch! We will be starting at noon...and I anticipate that it will go similarly to last year, in that we'll do the group shots first, and then as people have to leave we'll grab smaller scenes with who is available. If you're in a time crunch we could get you in the group scenes first.

I have a Darth Mutter costume that is fully hot pink, other than that looks just like DV.
