Goliath & Gaspar - ROSES BENEATH: INDIE ANIMATED SERIES (VA/ARTISTS/ANIMATORS)

Goliath & Gaspar - ROSES BENEATH: INDIE ANIMATED SERIES (VA/ARTISTS/ANIMATORS)

Project Overview

Greetings! I'm Zeke, AKA c0rruptzie and this SPECIAL casting call is for my upcoming indie animated series called Roses Beneath! A grim fairytale in the magical world of Everfall, a mixture with psychological thrills and heartfelt storytelling, among a cast of survivors as they put their hands together to fight for a better future of their world. This project has been in the works for over 5 years, and now is time for ROUND 3 (the grand finale, if you will, at least for a very long time but-if-anything-comes-up-we'll-let-you-know). We are looking for one male voice actor who has what it takes to voice our main antagonist, GOLIATH. We ALSO need one black male voice actor for GASPAR, A gunslinging bounty hunter who may-or-may-not be associated with a certain cowboy or two..

Artist positions are also available, but let's get on with the main part of the show~.

PROJECT SUMMARY:

A tale encircling the fear of humanity, mortality, and the unknown. A group of individuals are the sole survivors of a great disaster that occurred within mere moments of the past. The extinction of the human race brought permanent abandonment, isolation, and fear. Now residing in the decaying ghost town Witherhill, they discover it holds the true secret to keeping humanity alive. However… within the withered chambers lies something much more sinister hiding in plain sight. Forced to band together, the Roselinqs wield amulets of unmatched power as they must work together to uncover the dark prophecy. Our survivors must preserve what is left of Everfall and prepare for a new beginning to arise; If they are not careful, their last chance to restore their world will slip away from the grasp of their fingertips. Time is running out, as the garden awaits their beck and call…


Roses Beneath is a dark fantasy psychological thriller series, told within several mediums of art. It is a drama including the format of animatics, sprites, artistic cutscenes, and uniquely tragic visuals. The series will be exclusively available to c0rruptzie’s YouTube channel, as updates for the project will be brought to you on the official Twitter account @TheRosesBeneath.

CHARACTER BIO:
(He/Him) A vagabond who has an unusual tendency to appear where he is most unwelcome. His history, goals, and true nature are a mystery to the Roselinqs, but his overly casual demeanor hides his true self: an angry, spiteful shell of a man with a hatred forged by decades of isolation, if not more. The real Goliath is an exceptional manipulator and puppet-master, and he takes great pleasure in pitting people against each other and watching them tear each other apart without lifting a finger.


While many of the cast of Roses Beneath have ulterior motives and shadowy secrets that make them enemies to each other, Goliath, being the show’s primary antagonist, is a full-blown villain - and he relishes in it. Pulling the strings from the shadows, he works to burn the trust the survivors of the Ardenti have built to the ground, and eventually to have the whole world follow suit. His primary focus seems to be on one Angelino Rosas, but the history between the two is a secret only known to the Lord of Lies.


Goliath does not work alone, however; there are those who believe they share his vision, and he welcomes them into his circle with open arms. Whether he actually cares for them and believes they are of value beyond furthering his own goals is another story. To say Goliath knows how to bring others together for a cause may be an understatement.  He won’t stop until his mission has been fulfilled.  Watch out for him as his storm is coming.

Role assigned to: Shakiel Wilko

CHARACTER INFO:
(HE/HIM) Gaspar Gunner is a side character of Roses Beneath. He’s a professional bounty-hunting cowboy with too many nicknames under his gold-studded belt. His outward overconfidence and (self)-endangering smugness sets him apart from any other guy slinging their gun ‘round these parts! Beware, though, for the trademark grin he dons on the battlefield is susceptible to crack under pressure.


Gaspar, first and foremost, is a yearner; having spent most of his life in one place, Gaspar dreams of moving some place new. When he’s not spending his money on drinks or other cheap thrills, his savings are dedicated to…somewhere. He hasn’t quite narrowed his options down. Bad past relationships have solidified in his gut as an instinct to run away from intimacy and commitment. Despite this, he finds himself in a rather happy relationship with Angelino and Damian. Men he shared drinks with evolved into people he’d lay his life down for in what feels like a twirl of his pistol. Trust is hard to come by and harder to stick to, and yet Gaspar sinks his into them, even with the primal fear of memetic oblivion.


Perhaps the most ironic thing is how that fear of his left him: The events of the prologue were something that set Gaspar’s psyche in shock. Throughout the Ardenti, he tried in earnest to protect both his partners from the carnage that threatened to engulf them. It was an effort rooted in paranoid instinct. It was absolved the moment he landed in the void with Damian. It was when they were one man down that one thing became clear: he was never to be abandoned.


The resolution sits heavy amongst pressurized air. Gaspar deems himself fearless now, finally, after all this time. Is that another comforting fantasy of his?

Storyboarders or Animatic Artists will be in charge of creating the baseline storyboards for the animated scenes in Roses Beneath!  They will map out the rough visuals to follow along for the animators and director+editor to follow along when putting the episode together!  We recommend you follow a 6 panel per page by script format. 


They can also create rough (or even clean if in ability) animatics for the larger scenes, but these can also be used for standard scenes with specific visual choices of monochromatic backgrounds / colors!  Great examples of this can be found with animatics of Epic: The Musical, Pretty Pretty Please I Don't Want to Be a Magical Girl and other various animatics on Youtube!


Storyboards can be started via traditional if wanted, but highly recommend if you finalize with digital.
