C.A.P.E - The Expanded Casting!

C.A.P.E - The Expanded Casting!

Project Overview

Hello, everyone! 

This is the second round of casting, for the animated short film titled "C.A.P.E". This round, we're looking for main characters willing to embody an elite task force bent on stopping evil forces, that conspire to damage more than just infrastructure. Taking place in a gritty post disaster world where society has been fragmented by a catastrophic event known as "The Schism". Held together by a fragile unity, The nation begins to rebuild.

Please note that if you are selected for a name character you will be locked in for more than just this project, and this is one for the long haul. Additionally, we're also looking for long term crew as well! There are some available roles that are open.

Best of luck to all that apply! Below is some more information about the technical aspects of the project.


Recording Requirements

All recordings, including auditions should be clean and processed (unless otherwise stated) and recorded on an XLR mic. This means no background noise (fans, lawnmowers, pets, people, AC), and a nice clear sound.  If your audio is too quiet or fuzzy, it may not be usable as too much post processing poses a risk. We are striving for an authentic and immersive experience, let's keep it as professional and clean sounding as possible.


What you can expect

You can expect a welcoming atmosphere with room to experiment. If you have a concern regarding the material, you are encouraged to bring it up, as it is a collaborative effort, that I want you to take pride in being part of.  You will have access to your lines and potentially other materials depending on your role.

You are not required to advertise the project once it's public, however you can feel free to if you'd like.


Zoom

Once casting is complete you will be sent a private link to the zoom call, on the date of recording via call sheet.  Please don't post your real name here as I will collect and securely store that information for purposes of production. More below.


Professionalism

As mentioned, this project is meant to be as professional as possible.  This means that as you will be credited for your work.  If you are found to be behaving in a less than exemplary manner on social media or otherwise, you will be hastily removed from the project. The contents of your performance and the script are CONFIDENTIAL UNLESS EXPLICITLY WRITTEN AND / OR AUTHORIZED BY MYSELF and should not be shared outside of the the cast and crew.


Project Distribution

As of right now there is no specifically chosen platform, but there are avenues of approach identified.

Additional Information

The deadline for auditions is August 11th, 2021. There are no plans to extend this deadline, as we have entered production. We'll notify voice actors who have been cast in roles by August 11th and send call sheets to voice actors same day of notification, with the official recording day on August 13th. This is a hard deadline. If you are unable to record August 13th, please do not audition.

+ XLR Microphones are absolutely mandatory, and the kind of mic you are using must be stated when applying. USB mics will not be accepted (Except under extreme circumstances).

+ Bonus points if you use Reaper as your DAW.

+ Show emotion! Give your all and remember to have fun!

+ Communication is through CCC (Urgent messages ONLY), email and zoom.

+ If selected, you will have to sign on boarding forms before being fully admitted into the production.

+ If you are not selected, don't worry! Simply follow this account to be alerted for the next project!

+ If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I'll try to answer to the best of my ability.

Latest Updates

  • Update 1: Minor Delay

    Hello all! Thank you so much for the outpouring of interest in this project and a big applause for the people who have auditioned! Please note! If you send an audition after the deadline it will be *automatically be disqualified*. Please be mindful of this as I have gotten submissions after the fact. As for regular submissions, due to the immense volume, I might take a little bit of extra time to get back to you, but needless to say, it is very difficult to slice it down to four finalists. I should be done by mid day today as there have been some delays in other parts of my personal life. If you are interested in future castings of this, and potentially larger scale, follow me here on CCC! Thank you all once again, and see you soon! Best, - InTheBackground
