Dormia: The Rise of Sangem - PILOT ANIMATIC

Dormia: The Rise of Sangem - PILOT ANIMATIC

Project Overview

WELCOME TO DORMIA

This is a hand-animated and storyboarded 16+ fantasy adventure indie show in early pre-production. The story is a DnD inspired story following a genasi/elf transmasc main character named Shark Aldine, who goes on a fantasy globetrotting journey through the world of Dormia with a pirate crew of misfits called the Snowbreakers in search of forbidden and banished artifacts belonging to a forgotten god named Sangem. In return, Shark has been promised something far more valuable than treasure: information regarding the person responsible for the deaths of his mother and sister.

We are currently working towards our animatic proof of concept.

If you are a fan of the Legend of Zelda, Arcane, Vox Machina, and Avatar: The Last Airbender, this indie show is up your alley.

Stay tuned for a season 1 casting call.



IMPORTANT

!! This is an unpaid project !!

!! NO AI WAS OR WILL BE USED IN THIS PROJECT !!


● Chess is the director, head author, and showrunner of Dormia: The Rise of Sangem.

● Age Range recommended is 15+ due to suggestive and implied scenes of Gore and Romance- NOTHING IS GRAPHIC, JUST IMPLIED.

● This is planned to be a 4 season show.

● We are a project that wants creatives no matter their skill level; we want to be a show that allows others to break into animation and gain experience.

● We have no required softwares or hardwares in terms of roles.

● This project's production is done through discord servers; having a Discord is required.

● Most of our main characters are casted, but you can audition in the discord server as a Backup Voice Actor.

● Every submission that is accepted will not need to go through the application process in the main server.

● Every voice acting submission that isn't chosen but was liked by the directors will either be considered for backup voice actors of the main cast or additional voices.

● Expect being possibly casted into multiple non-voice roles.

● The character art you see is concept art and not the final designs.

She was sweet, and Shark’s biggest supporter all of his life. She is dead and only seen in flashbacks.

The composers will write original music for show. They write music to reflect and communicate the atmosphere, character's emotions, and the story. A show score has to work with the show, rather than as a standalone piece of music. Composers will be given a brief and some music references for certain scenes at the start of the project by the showrunners. Some demo recordings can then be used in the animatic edit. They would then refine the soundtrack until post-production.

The overall genre of the soundtrack is electronic and medieval, with both styles often mixing, so preferably our musicians have experience in both.

Role requirements include communication, teamwork, and collaboration since you will work with directors and producers. Requirements also include basic understanding of music theory and storytelling.
