DePaul’s University Branding and Marketing team is producing a new brand advertising campaign, and we’re looking for current students to participate in an upcoming video shoot.
Our first shoot is scheduled for the week of May 19 and will feature a variety of scenes across DePaul’s Lincoln Park and Loop campuses. We’re hoping to assemble a broad and representative group of students for our agency partners to review for casting.
Below is a short FAQ with additional details. Interested students should fill out the form and upload their photos or video HERE by Monday, May 12, 2025.
Thanks in advance for your interest and willingness to participate!
Casting Call FAQ
What do I need to submit to be considered?
Please provide the following:
- Name, email address, year in school, major, and availability
- Two photos: one headshot, one full body OR video walking—whatever you can provide
- These do not need to be professional. Clear selfies or casual phone photos are totally fine.
- For the full-body photo, wear something that reflects how you typically dress for class or hanging out on campus—we want to see your style and personality!
How much time do I need to commit?
The photo shoot will take place the week of May 19.
If selected, you’ll be scheduled for a 5-6 hour window on one of those days—either in the morning (7 a.m. – 1 p.m.) or afternoon (1-6 p.m.) slot.
Your exact time and location will be confirmed about a week before the shoot.
Where will the shoot happen?
Scenes will be captured on both Lincoln Park and Loop campus. Final locations and scenarios will be shared in advance.
Do I need prior experience?
No previous experience is required. Our creative team will guide you on set.
What should I wear?
We’ll provide wardrobe guidance to selected students (i.e., avoid large logos, certain colors, etc.).
Is there an incentive?
Yes—students selected for the shoot will receive a $200 gift card at the end of their shoot day.
