HISTORY CASTING / LDI
When you need it to be yesterday or just look like it.
Duncan created history casting to connect producers with quality historic reenactors with period correct uniforms, costumes, props and set pieces for use as background artists in film and television projects. In addition, History Casting also helps writers and producers with location scouting and as historical consultants, helping with authenticity and in the training of principal actors in the safe use of period military firearms and equipment.
If you are an historic reenactor of any period with all of your own historically correct wardrobe and gear, please join the History Casting Group on Facebook to receive casting notices. The Facebook group is a closed group only for historic reenactors who must demonstrate that they meet that authenticity requirement.
Reenactors we've found for period projects include:
17th Century Soldiers & Civilians / French & Indian War Soldiers & Civilians (Colonial and British) / American Revolution Soldiers, Sailors & Civilians (British, American and French) / War of 1812 Soldiers & Civilians / American Civil War Soldiers & Civilians (with artillery and horses) / 19th Century American West Cowboys / 19th Century Vintage Baseball Players / World War II US & German Soldiers (including military vehicles, artillery,and aircraft)
Location Scouting:
We have found locations right here in New England for production needs that ranged from colonial farms, forts, roads and ships to a WW 2 German airfield, German shore bunkers & gun emplacements, and even a Normandy windmill overlooking the village of Carentan, France.
