ERGO: HEART & SOUL CREW CASTING
Project Overview
ERGO: HEART AND SOUL
This page is for additional crew members, such as artists, writers, an animator, and a video editor!
EARLY CASTING WILL NOT OCCUR DURING THIS CASTING CALL.
[PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU ARE READING THE PROJECT DESCRIPTION, GUIDELINES, ROLE DESCRIPTIONS]
REQUIRED AUDITION GUIDELINES: You MUST include your discord username, your age, any other methods to reach you in terms of contact, and any examples of work relating to the role you are auditioning for!
SUMMARY:
What truly defines an Ultimate in the eyes of the talentless? What truly defines a good person in the minds of the flawed? What truly defines a songbird from the fangs of a rattlesnake? A sheep from the claws of a wolf—or the deceit of a fox?
Akataro Ueki, the Ultimate Photojournalist, has wondered all of these questions as he was finally accepted into Ichijiku Academy for the Blessed—an university meant for the most elites of those in particular fields, for the primary purpose of reaching their fullest potential—along with his twin sister, Atsushi. However, he soon finds himself separated as he wakes up in a rundown version of the prestigious academy alongside 15 other Ultimates like him—far away from the family he once knew. One catch: The only way out is to kill or be killed. Will Akataro be able to singlehandedly solve his greatest mystery yet, or will he fall into the hands of this grand puzzle's puppetmaster? What will he discover along the way? Only time can tell, and only hope can prevail...
WARNING: ERGO will have topics that may be sensitive or disturbing to some viewers (warnings will be given to specific episodes when needed). Viewer discretion is advised.
ERGO: Heart & Soul is a fanganronpa video series created by Bonnie Mae, and is inspired by the amazing fangans that came before it, BUT it is still MASSIVELY in development and might take a while to be finished!
RULES:
Must be 16+ in order to audition (Preferably 18+ due to the director being an adult)
Please submit at least decent quality examples (high quality is preferred, but not required due to the project being unpaid). THEY MUST BE YOUR WORK, DO NOT CLAIM SOMEONE ELSE'S WORK AS YOUR OWN. YOU WILL BE DISMISSED IF SO.
ERGO will not have strict deadlines due to being an unpaid project, HOWEVER, it is expected that you have a decent work ethic, are able to deliver your part in a timely manner, and are able to properly communicate with the team, especially if you need any extensions!
You must have a discord and be able to respond to messages! While you do not have to join the server for auditioning, you will be required to join if you are casted as a role (a majority of important messages to crew will be sent through there)
Absolutely NO AI-GENERATED STUFF (which should go without saying, of course, but I'll put it here anyways). This includes using an AI-voice to replace your own, using AI-art and stealing other people's art, or anything of the like! This isn't the place for you.
Updates will be given on both auditions and general series news in the Discord !![https://discord.gg/FwSY39tDdg]

(I, the director, will give you a list of things to include, such as characters, certain poses or expressions, etc. that you can include in the pieces. This can also include concept sketches to assist if requested)
- An official art style guide will also be given upon being cast in order to help resemble official ERGO media (although, you do not have to follow it by a T. It's just to help get it similar!)
Please attach examples of work (such as previous artwork) as your audition!

As the official ERGO series ASSET DESIGNER, your responsibilities will be:
- Designing and drawing assets relating to UI, trials, and other such places within the series. This also includes assets for the "boss battles" in the Rhythmic Retribution segments, as they are most similar to "bullet-hell" style games with influence from Undertale/Deltarune. More information will be given upon being cast.

While this role does not require expert knowledge of editing, results should be similar to most fanganronpa video series quality (see link to Danganronpa Desperate Heart 2 for reference below)
