Our family models have had incredible experiences with top-tier clients and on our latest family modelling adventure Models Direct brings to you an immersive encounter three of our wonderful families had with the world-famous small bear from “darkest Peru.”
Known for his exceptional manners, generosity and kind-heartedness, not to mention his innocent clumsiness and humorous antics, Paddington Bear is an iconic character who continues to delight old and new fans thanks to British author Michael Bond.
Paddington’s ample supple of marmalade sandwiches under his red hat “in case of emergency,” is now set to hit cinemas across the UK this Friday 8th of November 2024 as the third instalment continues to promise more hiccups from the bear himself and his adopted family, the Browns.
Paddington in Peru flips the switch where this time, Paddington is returning to Peru to meet his Aunt Lucy, added with no doubt lots of twists and turns along the way.
With this in mind, it made sense that our client wanted to tie in their immersive experience’s marketing based on the famous fictional character in time to run alongside the film’s release. This is where our dedicated professional team stepped in to help when our client requested real-life family models to feature in their marketing campaign for The Paddington Bear Experience.
Situated on London’s South Bank, the attraction will definitely be pulling in more traffic thanks to our talent who participated in the photo shoot: The Bond Family (CTVW-9788), Hillier Family (FTMT-7944) and the Vyakaranam Family (SSXR-3348), with the latter comprising of only Mum, Dad and youngest daughter, Evie.
We were able to capture our client’s feedback too. Here’s what Jemma had to relay about working with our three family models:
“Thanks so much for your help with this one! The families were all a dream and their enthusiasm was just amazing. A little chaotic at times with so many working around the spaces, but I think the marmalade treats definitely helped and I’m confident we got all we needed! Do let me know if you need anything from us going forward, otherwise, it’s been a pleasure to work with you and all the families! Thanks, Jemma”
The Bond Family took to their phone to capture backstage images of their shoot which they added onto their social media account. Check them out here:
We also gathered all the families’ feedback about their immersive experience so we could learn more about how their day went and for the benefit of our curious readers.
Here’s what the Bond family had to say:
“The next assignment was a family shoot at the Paddington Bear experience in London. We all had a nice time, we actually quite enjoyed the day and the kids were well looked after.”
The Vyakaranam Family were excited to relay this delicious review:
“What an amazing day!!! The Paddington experience was just brilliant. So much fun and the other families and team at Paddington were fantastic to work with. The cakes and marmalade sandwiches were delicious.”
Finally, the Hillier Family expressed:
“We had a great experience working as family models at The Paddington Bear Experience in central London. Staff and Photographers are very helpful, nice and professional. We walked through the whole experience, both my children were inspired and excited, especially while we walked through Paddington’s kitchen and Peru garden! We all tried the extraordinary marmalade sandwiches and amazing cakes in the end.
Gemma called us beforehand and set out the whole brief in emails, she dealt with things in such professional and detailed ways. Gemma also called us right after to make sure we were good and congratulated us for completing the job! In general, a five-star fun experience with Models Direct. Thank you.”
The overall takeaway is, is that we’re all looking forward to the movie this Friday and visiting the attraction someday but most of all, we’re proud we’re bringing everyday people and real-life families extraordinary modelling opportunities they’ll never forget!
