Hello everyone,
As am sure everyone and their mothers know, abridging is taking original source material (whether it be anime, cartoons, or game cutscenes) and redubbing/editing it to fit whatever the creator wishes.
In this case, as the title of this project states, I chose Fairy Tail Zero to begin my abridging career. If all works out well, I also plan to move into the Fairy Tail series proper. Due to the size of Fairy Tail Zero (it’s only 12 episodes), I believe this project could be broken down into a trilogy of episodes.
Fairy Tail Zero is a prequel to Hiro Mashima’s acclaimed series Fairy Tail. The official summary for Fairy Tail Zero – “The untold story of the creation of the Mage Guild Fairy Tail. Follow Mavis Vermillion and her friends' journey into what started it all—from war to new adventures to heartbreak—revealing a dark past with an eye to a brighter future.”
For this callout, I’ll be casting for voice actors/actresses, and writers. I have done some editing myself, however, I may also ask for assistant editors. I have started drafting the first episode and getting the idea or concept of every character’s personality.
All roles will be in the English language. We have a main cast of
Due to the nature of this project, I cannot give payment to any voice talent nor writing help. This is a labor of love.
I will be updating this page to reflect what is required. If you're interested, send me a message or however else you get into contact on this place.
My apologies on disappearing again. I've gone through 2 computer crashes, a job loss, a death, and a suicidal attempt or two. I can't figure out how to delete these projects so am gonna start over from scratch!
IGNORE THIS PROJECT.
According to the wiki, "Zera was a bratty young girl who was claimed by her father to be very bright for her age. She had a mean streak to her personality, not being past putting down others by calling her classmates stupid and stating that Mavis was a gross germ; however, she was also seen to be aware of her actions towards others, and was willing to make up with and befriend Mavis."
I want to keep that, since I feel that Zera was a bit more nice then I'd think. I think she should keep her snarky side alive, and maybe a bit more snooty. I know that she'll be a bit rough around the edges, but generally do her best to support Mavis.
"Oh Mavis, your powers have grown so much since we were kids… I’m so sorry for the way I treated you…"
"How about a little fire scarecrow?"
In the series proper, Warrod was a very quiet, stoic individual who rarely emoted. He was calm, rational, and tended to be the most level headed of the group. However, he didn't get as much screen time as his companions, but in Fairy Tail, he's a bit senile, crazy coot that spouts out random jokes. According to the wiki, "In the past, Warrod used to be a very calm individual, to the point that he used to be calmly standing with his eyes closed, seemingly enjoying the nature surrounding him. However, he also expressed excitement upon seeing the Fairy Tail Guild's building finished, smiling in the photo that was taken afterwards."
From what I remember in the series, he tended to be very quiet and only spoke his mind a few times. Mostly during the training segment, when he felt he was falling behind the others.
In this version, I want him to have the energy of Macho Man Randy Savage, as I feel when he talks, he should draw everyone's attention. He should still be stoic and quiet, but when he talks, he has this energy about him. However, I am open for discussion on this.
"Everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses. Your friends and your guild are there to make up for that, right?"
(An internal thought) "Mavis... your feelings... have been inherited by those youngsters."
While I tend to write my own stuff, looking/watching other series made me realize I need support for this. That and I'm not that funny. I figure a group of people that love the series will do the best to make the show a nice parody.
Say something you think would fit
In this parody, he's super into getting rich and finding treasure cause that's what his dad was. A treasure hunter and his paps is his role model. And he'd do anything to get treasure. Gullible in that state cause he wants to make the name Dreyar proud. He's still headstrong and proud, but also a little more focused and willing to do whatever he can to get what he wants.
(To Mavis Vermillion): "My dream from this day forward will be to protect you, come what may. To protect and believe in you, to the very end."
The Tenrou Jade, one of the most infamous treasures known to man. Legends state that those who possess the jewel, misfortune smiles upon you.
Due to his high jacket collar thing, he mumbles a lot and he has a deep voice that only Warrod understands. Yuri just assumes what he says. Think of like Peanuts parents, just a bunch of noises. He's super quiet and calm and rarely lets things get to him. Although when he loses his eyes, he somehow gets his voice clear and still only makes very dark snark comments and is the most level headed of the team.
Really the voice lines I put on here is for when he actually starts talking. I plan on using some filter to make him hard to understand to begin with.
"The mistakes people make are eventually labeled as experience. But with a true mistake, there will be no experience to be gained. Because the mistake you made taking me as your opponent will leave you with no future."
"I am he who dances with blades... and I do so at my leisure..."
He was mostly a rude, insufferable jerk in the original, and I plan to make him like Freeza was. Cold, calculating, not afraid to throw his soldiers lives away. He likes to think he's mature and always in control of the situation. He doesn't talk too too much however, and let's his actions speak for themselves.
Your mere illusions are no match for the night that I bring. It's a pity that my soldiers are just that worthless.
Oh, what's this? It looks like we have some target practice.
