ectoLab - animated webseries/fanime
Project Overview
Summary:
EctoLab is an animated fanseries/fanime heavily based on homestuck. Specifically, it's about four kids who play sburb, a sandbox rpg game that ends the world. They have to survive the game's world's, but at least they get help from some unexpected allies.
It's going to feature original animation, all done by me, as well as some original tracks!
Rules:
- 1. Have at least an okay mic quality. Doesn't have to be perfect, but please nothing too muffly! Even recording with an iphone under a blanket and editing it down is better then a muffly 2$ microphone!.
- 2. Only join this if you're willing to actually participate. If you know you don't have time, or if its something you dont want to do, you don't gotta!
- 3. Please be sure to do a couple of takes of the lines with different inflections!

The auditions were just closed and I cast all my actors! Thanks so much everyone who participated :D!
Case is a 15 year old who is into videogames, mostly the ones he deems to be really ‘actiony’ and ‘cool’. He treasures his friends more than anything in the world. His let's play channel is also dear to him, as it allows him to make others smile! He is pretty lazy overall, but genuinely cares about what he does. He just doesn't know how to put true effort into things. In the face of danger, he grins and bears it, and tries a bit too hard to be optimistic and confident. He's a big ham, and is kinda whiny. Expect a lot of screaming and or crying if you voice him, though!
*with gusto* RISE AND------SHINE! Dude, get up! We're going to get to play sburb TODAY! *excited*
*Sigh* Alright. *confidently* If it's a fight you want it's a fight you'll get! *whining/pleading* we gotta make it quick tho, I want my game please.
*reflective/calm* I dunno, they didn't give out any review copies for some reason. But, it did say it was a sandbox style RPG, which is pretty awesome. But… I dunno, I just had a feelin'.
Dove is your typical 15 year old recluse with a rather strange hairdo. She is extremely hard working, to the point where she neglects her personal health to get a couple extra hours in. No matter what she is working on, whether it be schoolwork, video editing, or music creation, she’ll give her 110%. She has rather strange mannerisms, like sitting in seemingly uncomfortable positions while working, and eating only oreos for a week straight only to switch to poptarts the next week. She has the curse of having a resting bitch-face without really meaning it, and finds it difficult to outwardly express her emotions. She is, however, extremely anxious and in any dangerous situation, she will most definitely flip her shit.
*Deadpan* No, I did quite the opposite actually. I finished editing and scheduling the videos we need to upload throughout the week. We are going to be too busy playing to finish them.
*slightly smugly* Maaaaatt. You know me by now… but… *small smile* thanks for the concern.
*Terrified* CASE?! Ah-fuck you scared me
Matt is a 15 year old boy living in the middle of nowhere deep within the canadian wilderness, and due to this he acts extremely awkward in social situations. He may look like a typical shy kid on the outside, but if you look closer you’ll notice is actually just an adorable nerd with a big heart. He cares deeply for his friends, not because they are all he has, but because he deeply loves them and appreciates them for who they are as people. His adorableness know no bounds, as he tends to favor the things that go unnoticed. To top it all off, he is extremely motivated to do what he loves, which is animate. but is afraid that he will be ridiculed for his interests. He is the most motherly and caring of the team.
Hey dove *said cherrfully, but shy*
I’m callin to make sure you got enough sleep and stuff. Did you get any sleep? Eat any breakfast? Have any water? You never take care of yourself and- *worried*
Dove… I don't want to scare you, and i know that's gonna scare you more but it's okay! I can see you in your room through the game. *Nervously*
Abby, doesn’t give a fuck about anything, but still wants to have a good time. Abby's not a ball of energy, if anything she's really lazy and chill most of the time. She has this sort of outlook on life where she thinks everyone is just like her, where they’re just trying to benefit only themselves and kindness and decency is just people trying to get shit out of each other. Because of this she is rather introverted, and isn’t really skilled when it comes to teamwork. That is, unless, it’s something super cool and you need her to help, cause then i mean she's awesome she can handle shit. Overall she is uncaring, brutally honest, and kinda a kleptomaniac, but if someone fucked with you, she would probably beat the shit out of them cause hey they might get her next or some shit, yea that's why, it's not like she actually cares. (spoilers, she does)
*teasing* Sup nutcase, whatcha up to?
*teasing again* Heheheh scaredy-cat!
*shocked and a little scared* I CAN SEE IT TOO! I CAN CLICK HIS SHIT IN HIS ROOM!
Cass is a character we don't know too much about at the beginning, but she's a ball of energyy that loves to goof around! She's the "leader" of her group of friends. And she's unexpectedly considerate.
*jokingly whining* Aw come on you guys!! I had toooo. It's like a rule that you start homestuck session-y things like that.
*defeated* Okay, okay I was WRONG... I'll admit that. You guys were right… *excited* We can write out a script and I can read it off!
*smugly sarcastic* This is when I would say, “try again, smartass!” but for one thing, you cant respond to this this isn't dora the ex-fucking-plorer, and two, this young man already has a name!
Dawn is a character we don't know much about at the beginning, but shes caring, calming, and loves joking around with her friends! She cares a lot about her friends, and often loves inserting them into stories of her own, but she's too shy to share them. She's wise beyond her years, but isn't a prick about it.
*jokingly* yea, sorry dude *giggle* but you're a huge dork!
if itll make ya feel better we can just continue on with this 'stickin to the theme thing'. It’s fun!
*calmy* Our souls are connected, no matter what happens, our bond will never tarnish.
*depressed* I just... *starts to get teary eyed* I wish there was something more I could do for him.
Ally is a character we don't know too much about at the beginning. She's a cool chick who's pretty detached and careless most of the time. She's big into vaporwave and similar tumblr fads, and can be a bit self-righteous.
*slightly irritated* Con air isn't even a homestuck ref. It’s a movie on it’s own, dumbass.
*deadpan* Cause its the most stereotypical and annoying thing a homestuck fan could possibly do while writing something homestuck related, its reminds me of those stupid fan comics. You remember those right? Like, all of them were shit.
Wait… has the camera been on this whole time? -SHIT!
Milo is a character that we don't know too much about at the beginning. He's really pissy, and gets angry very easily. He grew up in seclusion, so he doesn't really have a filter, volume and otherwise. He secretly has a lot of respect for his friends. He loves that they love him.
*angry* No, he wouldn't be! He would be the exact opposite of proud!!! Tch, It's way too predictable.
*very angry* NO, it’s ISN’T!
*defeated* I... I didn't believe that it'd actually happen, you know?
