Celeste Avalanche: prolog.

Project Overview

Hello! I am Juan Kilday, and I am working on a small fan animation. Celeste Avalanche is the name, following the events and story of the main game called Celeste. I've recently finished the script and am moving on to voice acting so if you are interested please audition! I am super passionate about making this project as good as it can be! I am offering 50 an hour but I am more than willing to discuss payment for talented voice actors! thank you and have a nice day. Positions for animaters and back ground artists will come!

For artists, the general art style will lean towards the backgrounds used for the end of level visuals along with The owl house or Steven universe.

Much like backgrounds, Animation will be broken up into three tiers, for the detail and work needed to finish the scene. As for how it will be handled, work will be divided into three stages, starting with sketching the key poses before transitioning into the finished blocking and ending with in-betweens and rendering.

            Work will be split up into three different stages:

  • Stage one (sketching)
    1. In This stage animators will go through and sketch out the key possess for each scene.
    2. Timing will be adjusted, and dialogue finalized.
    3. The demo for the music for the montage will also be made.
  • Stage two (Blocking)
    1. Key poses will be finalized and polished.
    2. Backgrounds will be finished.
  • Stage three (In-between and rendering)
    1. In-between will be made
    2. Coloring and rendering will be finished here as well.

As for pay. I am aiming for around 400$~1000$ per minute of animation for the final product. As for the priority of each scene.

  • (PO1)- 400~500$ per minute.
    1. For basic scenes that don’t require a lot of animation or aren't complex.
  • (PO2) 500~750$ per minute.
    1. Scenes that require more work and will make the most of the final product.
  • (PO3)- 1000$ per minute.
    1. Complex scenes require special attention.
