Machinima Style Let's Play - The Life and Legend of Lielle, The Last Dragonborn

Machinima Style Let's Play - The Life and Legend of Lielle, The Last Dragonborn

Project Overview

UPDATE: 10/11/2016 - This project is in the early-phase of a reboot, now that life had fallen back into a more-predictable routine for me. I will be contacting the previously-cast auditions in the next few weeks, to check availability.


DISCLAIMER - This project is going to be going on a semi-indefinte hiatus, for the time being, as I solidfy some of the concepts, characters, and technical details that the project will entail. There is also an element of personal circumstances, that require me to put this on the "back burner" temporarily.

OKAY, NOW BACK TO BUSINESS!

Full Pastebin (http://pastebin.com/MDwF8Vq7) - Cliff notes below:

Premise: A fully-realized machinima-styled, RP-focused Let's Play series of The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim, with a full collection of mods to enhance gameplay, story-telling, immersion and aesthetics.

Concepts:








  • Fully-voice player dialogue, encompassing most of the base-game dialogue, as well as dialogue from mods. Including custom sound assets for use with the Additional Player Voices and PC Exclusive Voice Path mods. 








  • Occasional cut scenes, rendered both in-game, through use of various mods and utilities, as well as the possibility of scenes rendered out-of-game, through Source Film Maker, and other 3D animation suites.








  • Additional voiced dialogue from other voice actors in the Skyrim modding community, contributors to follower and NPC mods, and additional extras and original characters.








  • Exploration of areas beyond Skyrim, via quest mods such as Wyrmstooth  and Moonpath to Elswyr.








  • Multi-arc, alternate-start plot progression, with new exploration of Elder Scrolls Lore.













I can't offer any compensation for time, but I am willing to work with someone who is looking for a chance to expand their portfolio, or just wants to have fun with a new project. 

Phase One of the project is largely going to consist of recording various short "scenes" that will be used as semi-promotional content, in the early stages of the project. This will be a more immediate phase, and will also be a sort of "extended trial", wherein we can get to know each other, and the characters we will be bringing to life.

Phase Two will depend on the commitment level of the selected actresses.Assuming everyone is able to provide the effort required, production of the series will begin, with gameplay being recorded on a regular basis, with production of plot-curcial scenes and dialogue being handled on an as-needed basis.

Requirements:

Lielle - I'm looking for a voice actress in her early-to-mid 20's. No experience is required, but preference is given to individuals who have previous experience with audio production and editing, particularly use of Audacity to clean add balance audio before mixing it to the video.

Dibella - Being ageless, Dibella's role is more forgiving. There is no hard age-range for this role, though there is preference given to an actress who can provide the voice for both forms of this goddess; child and adult.

Mara - Like Dibella, there is no strict age-range. Likewise, a single actress for both roles will be given greater preference..

For the child-forms of both goddesses, They are far from ordinary children. Their attitudes and mannerisms will reflect their true age, or, immortality. Hence, some credence is given to the idea that their voices would not necessarily be child-like, but merely a slightly pitch-elevated version of their adult forms' voice. This can be accomplish manually or digitally, as necessary, though, natural flexibility is prefered.

Mother Mara (Adult Form)
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: emilyhickson

Much like her child form, Mother Mara is warm and compassionate. Her voice should be motherly and gentle, but also firm and commanding. As an adult, she stands tall and elegant, with soft, gentle features, chestnut hair drawn back, like her child counterpart, and violet eyes that seem to give of a glow of their own. She normally wears a set of blue robes.

  • (Warmly) But, you have had our grace with you, child. You just never took the time to notice it. Julianos guided your mind toward a sharpness of wit and intellect, Kynareth guided your feet when you set out on your own, so young, lest you might fall. I kept a warmth within you, so that you wouldn't lose hope.

  • (Abruptly) Yes, child, and not just the Two of Us. All of the Eight and One are losing Their strength. It started with mighty Talos, as more of His worshippers are persecuted by the Thalmor. All across Tamriel, more and more men, mer and beastfolk have fallen away from Us, and it has weakened Us, and Our power to shape this world.

  • (Warm, commanding) You mustn't misconstrue what so many of my followers have already. The rift between the House of Dibella and the Temple of Mara leaves both of us exposed. Love and passion are not mutually exclusive.

Mother Mara (Child Form)

Role assigned to: emilyhickson

Mother Mara, goddess of Love and Compassion, takes the form of a young girl dressed in a girl's blue dress, with tied-back chestnut hair, and violet eyes. She is warm and compassionate, and seeks to be a source of comfort and hope for Lielle, the Last Dragonborn. Though she is patient and kind to a fault, she tends to gain a slight edge when Dibella's child form is around.

  • (Smiling, warmly) Yes, child.

  • (Concern, empathy) Oh, child, what has you looking so troubled?  

  • (Sagely) You always twist their words. This is part of the reason why we have our current *problem*.

Role assigned to: emilyhickson

Brelyna Maryon, apprentice at Winterhold Mages College. 'Nuff said. It does not have to be a 100% spot-on recreation of her voice, just close enough for rough-shod work. ;) Just a bit part for a brief scene

  • (Slowly) Oh, hey, you're awake. How are you feeling?

  • You mean, you don't remember?

  • (Embarrassed) I was hoping I wouldn't have to be the one to tell you this.

Lady Dibella (Adult Form)
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: animefanaticgirl

Lady Dibella in her adult form. As described by lore:  "She is usually depicted as a voluptuous and attractive human female, often either holding large flowers or actually having flowers in place of hands." In this case, flowers may adorn her hair, and she may be holding a flower basket. She speaks smoothly, liltingly, less playful than her child form, but more sultry and smokey. She will wear a yellow dress. 

  • From UESP Wiki:"Open your heart to the noble secrets of art and love. Treasure the gifts of friendship. Seek joy and inspiration in the mysteries of love".

  • (Snarkily) She's quick to catch on, isn't she?

  • (Liltingly, sultry) Like two sides of a single coin, beauty and aesthetics meet in harmony with warmth and trust. Do not let this frighten you. Open your heart and your mind. Relinquish your past, which haunts you and gives you pause. Find solace and comfort in those who open themselves to you.

Lielle, Breton Enchantress, Archmage of the College of Winterhold, Dragonborn
closed
Unpaid
Role assigned to: octaviastryker

The voice I imagine this character speaking with is actually very similar to the
"FemaleYoungEager" voice type, used by characters in-game (eg. Brelyna Maryon, Jordis, Jarl Elisif the Fair) shifted down by a half-octave. Initially playful, mildly sarcastic, and warm, Lielle will experience character progression through the course of the series, as she confonts the challenges of living in Skyrim, and comes to terms with the awakening of her powers as The Last Dragonborn. The pastebin link details more of her character make-up and biography. 

  • For the past 20 years, I've been searching for... something...

  • I can't put this feeling into words; it's like something powerful stirring within me....

  • I had set out to find my destiny. Funny how destiny has a way of finding you.

Dibella (Child Form)

Role assigned to: animefanaticgirl

Despite her diminuitive form, Dibella in the form of a child is just as much the goddess of beauty and aesthetics. She takes on the form a young girl, with flowing blonde hair and golden eyes. She wears a standard girl's yellow dress. She is playful, lacivious, and has a penchant for playing "games" with Lielle, The Last Dragonborn. She and Mara will interact, frequently.


  • (Giggling softly.) I'm not lost at all. In fact, I've been looking for you.

  • (Giggling more loudly) Oh, you have no idea! This is so much fun! Oooo, but I mustn't spoil the surprise, now. That wouldn't be sporting of me at all.

  • (Brightly) Let's play a game!

A recast for the role of Lielle, because I can't find a way to recast the original role. This role is already reserved.
