"The Emperor is dead.
...And the promise of hope made between a little girl and her jester long ago is suddenly thrust into question, as her now grown and battered body lies limp at the doorstep of the only doctor that can save her---the doctor who's spent years hunting after that very emperor in search of justice. Taking the dying stranger into her home, the doctor prepares to save her life amidst her anguish at 'that bastard getting the easy way out'—only to discover a startling truth about the woman she's just rescued:
This is the culprit."
This is the official casting call for a 5-7 minute animatic for my upcoming 2D animated series "Kiah & the Rule of Four"! Find out a little more about the visuals from my social medias: @nanerzlovesart on all platforms!
This project has been in the works by myself for over a decade, and I'm finally ready to start creating official material for my pitch---the biggest step being creating this piece!
This is the intro segment to a larger pilot episode I hope to create in the future with the help of the visibility and possible funding this may yield. I'm currently searching for voice actors in order to secure voice lines before storyboarding begins. The script is complete for this specific project, and can be sent ASAP to those selected to work for this project once everything is confirmed. Please be aware that there will be a required NDA in order to work on this project. The projected deadline for submissions is October 22nd at midnight. If needed, I will extend the deadline.
What to Expect:
Short lines, fun characters, pay, IMDb credits, and shoutouts on social media (if you're okay with it).
If possible, please share your discord if selected. This is only because I would love it if there could be some moderated communication between certain roles (Mr. Kelpicant and Alexandrea, and then Zekra and Child Kiah) while recording lines/preparing to record lines to make the conversations flow more naturally. This is entirely optional, but if this is something you'd be comfortable with, let me know! If not, that's fine too!
I am only an individual animation student in university, but I hope that what I'm offering as compensation is acceptable for the amount of work being asked for for an indie project. I'm more than willing to discuss the budget if you feel it's unfair compensation.
None of these roles will require anything over 10 minutes of finished lines.
What's Next?
In the future, I may need help from animators, storyboard artists, background artists, sfx artists, and sound designers/audio engineers. Please be on the lookout for a casting call regarding that!
---
I sincerely appreciate you taking the time to look through this and for any auditions. This has genuinely been my dream since I was a little girl, and this story means everything to me. I learned how to write, draw, animate, and compose music for this project, and can finally put it to use now that I have the resources necessary to begin.
P.S.
Please feel free to audition for multiple roles. It would actually make things much easier if certain smaller roles were fulfilled by the same person!
Thank you!
