Extended The Deadline!
The Deadline has been pushed from September 14 to November 14. 2 more months.
PLEASE READ BEFORE APPLYING:
Bridges Burn is an animated psychological romance currently in development. The story is about a girl named Sarah, who lives under the secret identity of a famous celebrity known as Sam. While working for a gang, she is assigned to manipulate a boy named Leon, who is obsessed with that very same celebrity, into becoming useful for their missions. The problem is, the more time Sarah spends gaining his trust, the more emotionally attached she becomes, and the harder it is to betray him. Our story is fully written, and much of the pre-production has already been completed. The biggest things we need now are character designs, storyboards, and people to help bring the project to life. We are currently looking for Animators, Character Artists, Background Artists, Prop Artists, Voice Actors, Music Composers, Sound Designers, and Assistant Editors. Experience isn't required but is very appreciated. Time commitments are very flexible, with no strict weekly quotas or deadlines. Our visual style goes for more of a semi-realistic look with expressive faces , cinematic lighting, and detailed environments while remaining easy for animation. Joining this project is a great opportunity to build your portfolio, gain experience, help shape an original animated series from the very beginning, and meet other passionate creators.

Sarah is a main character and teenager, who acts coldly to people until they get close. When relaxed they joke a lot, tease, and are playful. Make Sarah sound cold to those who don't know her like her, and relaxed to someone who does
(annoyed) Don’t even think that. Get into the car
(Shrinking) I want to, it’s just. (Pulling back) I don’t want to get in trouble
(Playfully pouting) Now obviously judging it, it’s rigged. Oh shut up, But thank you.
The 2nd main character, he acts nice to everyone and goofy to his friends. He's social, and gets extremely hype and talks fast when "Sam the Celebrity is mentioned". Very empathetic
(Normally) It’s just you’ve been looking at that arcade machine for 20 seconds straight.
(Teasingly) It’s rigged right?
(Angrily) THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT I’VE BEEN DOING! YET THIS IS HOW I GET REPAID FOR IT?!?
A prominent character that shows up a couple of times is Leon's Grandpa. He acts as Leon's caregiver and trainer. Make Leon's grandpa sound relaxed and laid back
(Training Leon, strict) You did better than last time, but you are still rushing. If you quit rushing, then you'll be almost perfect.
(Relaxed) Doesn’t matter, Just make sure she gets home safe
(Teasingly) Just date already.
these are 4 different characters. If any questions are needed please ask in your attempt, but these are mostly background characters except Gang member 1 who plays very little importance. They all act serious, and follow Sarah's orders, barely interacting with each other.
We only got 3 minutes before the system will automatically close the vault
(Slight Anger) This is NOT the time to be distracted.
(Relief) I knew you would come to your sense
These workers should sound like they don't care and just go along or helpful depending on the situation. Randoms just require a good mic and a quick, clear response
(Bored/Nonchalant) Aw man, At least I tried
(Quick, Clear, apologetically Random) My Bad!
(Helpful) All right, let me know if you need anything. Also, couples get 20% off if buying matching sets.
Jay is a rival gang enemy to Sarah, extremely confident and cocky, and is full of himself. Make Jay sound like he's boasting every time he speaks, constantly loud, and when something gets in his way it's extremely annoying.
(Boasting)YOU CAN’T BEAT ME KID! KNOW WHEN TO QUIT!
(Annoyed) Besides, you also have no chance of beating me.
(Confident) IS THAT ALL YOU GOT!?!
They should sound cheery but also like they are rushing. Average voice should be energetic (think like Caine from TADC). Make them always rushing, pushing to get information out, actually interested, and a little bit nerdy.
(Informative) If you ever spot any of these members outside in any area, please call law enforcement and keep them updated about their location and your suspicions..
(Energetic) And there is more to her fanclub! There are special events, discussions and more! Why not come to Sam the Celebrity’s Fanclub today
(Angrily) OF THE BOOKS THE POWER HUNGRY MAN OF A LEADER HERE DECIDED TO BAN! (Regained composure). Sorry. Anyways
Very prominent side character. Aiden is the cheerful friend who always cracks jokes, complains, is overhyped, and is the most fun to be around. He does have a hidden insecurity about not having a power though. Make sure Aiden is always in a joking mood until he is suspicious. When he is suspicious make sure he sounds completely serious.
(Joking Mood) I’m telling you it’s sketchy! Suddenly popped out of nowhere hmmmm? Doesn’t make sense!
(Seriousness) I wouldn’t allow something bad to happen to you. Everyone is power hungry here, and since I don't have any power, the least I can do is be useful!
