Cold Circuit (Pilot)

Cold Circuit (Pilot)

Project Overview

This story follows Drax Rivers, a teenager who escaped a secret facility after being unwillingly experimented on alongside dozens of other children. The experiments caused the kids to awaken new abilities, but every power came with a devastating cost. The stronger they become, the closer they get to losing control.

IN VERY NEED OF A ANIMATOR / STORYBOARDER

(Any profit made by the pilot will be given back to the people, VAs, Animators, Writers, Musicians, Artists. Do not message me for payment beforehand, as payment will come from the profits made AFTER the pilot has been released.)

This pilot with probably follow this part of the book. There are more character added later that if I do extend the pilot I will add the roles and add the pages to the doc. What I have written down is just my book that I wrote that's still a rough draft and still needs a writer to make a script for the animation: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Nb642YkXZK40WaHPkf_tM9eH6guIJ2FA3AX1PgaznRk/edit?tab=t.0

  • New Patreon!

    Well hi there, welcome back! I just wanted to give you all an update regarding the status of Cold Circuit!

    First of all the Pilot is going into production now! I am currently in the process of gathering the team and putting everything into place. This includes castings, writing, artwork, animation, and sound!

    Unfortunately, since this is one of my first and largest project, I do not have much funding at this point. So far I have created a patreon page in order to gather funding for the pilot. Money raised will be going to paying animators, voice actors, artists, writers, musicians and whoever else works on Cold Circuit! I'm still gonna keep it Deferred just incase we get no donations.

    As the Pilot is still in production and currently as we speak I have no animator there is nothing animated to show you guys yet. However as we continue to progress through this stage I will keep you guys updated with more news on the process!

    Here is the patreon link to check out if you wish support or contribute in any way possible!

I really just need a story boarder to lay out the plan for the pilot, if you are also a animator then great. Just let me know if you want to be a animator or a story boarder. I know animation takes time and any profit that is made will be given ESPECIALLY to the animators. Preferably 2d. I'm not looking for anime level animation I just need something decent as far as animators go. For storyboarders, I just need a simple couple frames a second just to lay out where every thing will go. I would however want a animator that could maybe work on fight scenes, there's only 1-2 but it would be much appreciated. When applying let me know your discord and you can send me some of your work!

Ash is also 16. Ash is Draxs first and only friend he meets on the ship. Ash is a introvert who doesnt talk much about how hes feeling and keeps it to himself.

Kai is 15 years old and the youngest character. Kai is the comic release. He jokes about everything but deep down he just wants to help the people he cares about. He's very sarcastic, and a bit self centered.

I'm looking for someone with high and playful energy to voice him.

Vee is 17 years old. Vee has the ability to copy powers. Vee is a very independent character, she makes decisions on her own which clashes with her power which depends on others. She hates relying on others, but she will use them. She's overly sarcastic and constantly jokes with Kai.

Axel is 16 years old. He mocks the people he fights and gets a bit overconfident at times. While on the ship he was able to make his own type of liquid that can temporarily take away powers. Like the rest he has trauma. He was a few of the first ones to get taken by the organization, long before they started killing kids' parents, after they gave him his powers he went home but everything they had done to him was wrong. Unlike the rest of the kids he was actually the one who killed his OWN parents. All he wants is revenge to the organization, and he will kill anyone that gets in his way. (Not without having a bit of fun first)

  • This world wanted me dead long before I had powers. Long before any of this. When I was nothing

  • Then I woke up like this. Finally, I could fight back. Finally, I wasn't the one begging. And now you want to tell me that's wrong?
