Guardians of Happiness - A Minecraft Movie (Scenes have been recorded, voices are needed)
Project Overview
Also, note that most of the characters have around 1 - 10 lines.
Guardians of Happiness is a Minecraft cinematic project that I and a few others have been working on, 4 years in the making. Below I will detail to you a story synopsis (low spoilers, more detail can be given in discord), what I have already accomplished, what needs to be done, requirements for auditioning, and extra details, in that order.
-----
Synopsis: Fenton Hartford, Oberon Paridia, and Luscious Mooncaller were once each members of their own distant times in history, hero's in fact. They were beacons of hope people sang songs about, wrote story's about, and looked up to every day. But, what happens when each hero is frozen in solid ice, floating downstream from hundreds of years, winding up in the same watery cavern. What happens when this cavern is drained by a village seeking fortune, and these three are forced to meet in the 21'st century, a time they know nothing about. What happens when two are sworn enemy's, and one is caught in the cross hairs. A foreboding prophecy, a forced alliance, and an invisible threat creeping ever closer. This, my friend, is a tail of destiny, hate, happiness, and heros.
-----
What has been accomplished:
All of the actual filming has been recorded, most of the VFX have been completed, and the Script has been written and edited.
The voice actors for Oberon and Fenton have been chosen and recorded.
-----
What needs to be done:
Voice actors need to be selected for every character, save for the one's mentioned above, and most importantly Luscious Mooncaller.
The assembly of all of the clips (Over 800 in total) has yet to be completed, as the voice lines are necessary for such a process.
Any SFX (Sound effects) have not been added to the clips as of yet.
The Scoring (Background music) process has not taken place yet, as that is the last thing I need to do.
-----
Requirements for auditioning:
Microphone: No background noise, clean sound (Like, a 7 out of 10 on the clean scale).
Communication: You must have discord, and a way to send files if they are too big for Discord. (Example: MediaFire)
Format: Please do not send me a large audio file of your voice lines all together, send them on at a time or in a folder.
-----
Extra Details: I do not know when this project will be finished, as it is the first time I have attempted something like this, so all attempts to be impatient or passive aggressive will be ignored if I am taking to long. At worst, 6 months, at best, I have no idea. Just know that I have spent 4 months of my life recording at the end of each and every day, so giving up is not an option.
