More Than
A Casting Job
This was more than a casting job. Before anyone picked up a camera, Footasylum's production team asked us about weather risk and location. We knew Castlefield: the covered sections under the viaduct, the angles that work in flat light, and a backup spot if the rain came in hard. That knowledge kept the shoot on its preferred date instead of an expensive reschedule.
"This is amazing thank you, really reassuring to know we'll be ok if it rains!"
Sophie Hulbert, Senior Producer, Footasylum, during pre-production
The athletes on this campaign were Robbie Griffith and Orlando Devaux. To book similar brand work, see parkour performer hire.
On the day, our athletes worked hand in hand with the crew: repeatable, camera-ready movement, take after take, with the technical vocabulary to adjust on direction. That is the difference between hiring people who can do parkour and hiring professionals who can perform it for production.
"Both Robbie and Orlando were a pleasure to work with and were extremely professional throughout our shoot day. The boys both worked hand in hand with our crew to offer their expertise, in order to produce the best end product. We are extremely happy with the final assets and can't wait for the campaign to go live."
About the Footasylum Campaign
What did Movement Management deliver for Footasylum?
Movement Management supplied parkour athletes Robbie Griffith and Orlando Devaux for a full Footasylum campaign shoot at Castlefield Bowl in Manchester in July 2025. The finished campaign went live in Footasylum stores and on in-store screens nationwide.
How did the agency keep the shoot on its planned date?
Footasylum's production team asked about weather risk before the shoot. The agency knew the covered sections under the Castlefield viaduct, the angles that work in flat light and a backup spot for heavy rain, which kept the shoot on its preferred date instead of a costly reschedule.
Why book parkour athletes through an agency for a brand campaign?
Professional athletes deliver repeatable, camera-ready movement take after take and can adjust on direction. Sophie Hulbert, Senior Producer at Footasylum, described both athletes as extremely professional and a pleasure to work with. To book similar work, see parkour performer hire.
