MARVELOUS
Project Overview
Have you ever wondered what happened to Oz after Dorothy returned to Kansas?
INTRODUCTIONMARVELOUS is a long-term communal passion project set in the distorted dreamland of Oz, dedicated to adapting L. Frank Baum's The Marvelous Land of Oz (the first sequel to The Wonderful Wizard of Oz) into a musical audiovisual experience for the modern era. We are currently extremely early in development, and are hoping to collaborate with fellow creatives (OF ALL KINDS) and fans of this century-old dream.
DESCRIPTIONMARVELOUS follows Tip, a youth who has suffered under the control of an occultish experimenter (and undercover witch) named Mombi for as long as he can remember. When Mombi's dealings in magic produce something unexpectedly innocent, Tip is forced to steal the Witch's newborn creature and run headlong into an Oz he was born in but has never truly known. As Tip learns to love Oz and regains confidence in himself, he accidentally finds himself in the midst of an insurrection that exposes Oz's deep scars and threatens to tear everything apart. As Oz destroys itself from the inside out, Tip begins to realize that the salvation of his home is intricately linked to the realization of his identity and the discovery of his purpose.
REQUIREMENTS FOR AUDITIONS/APPLICATIONSFor writers, you can either submit a sample of your own work or write about what Oz as a whole means to you. We are mainly seeking lyricists and scriptwriters, but if your literary talents extend to other areas (i.e., publicity), feel free to mention it in your application. More detailed info will come as the project develops.
For voice actors, we are looking for a diverse variety of identities, vocal ranges, character stylings, and specializations. Our only general requirement is that you must be able to act, sing, and have some independent interest in the story. Otherwise, we have a large cast list, so (unless we get a HUGE amount of ambitions), you will be cast if you wish to be. More detailed info will come as the project develops!
For artists, we are again looking for a diverse variety of talents and styles. If your specialization falls in concept art, character design, setting/landscape design, poster design, or other types of art, we are greatly interested in having you on the team. We are also looking for artists with some experience (or at least an interest) in animation. More detailed info will emerge as the project develops.
For musicians, we are looking for creatives who can collaborate with each other to create the sound of a New Oz. We are looking for composers (high priority!), and other musicians who work well within a group, as the sound of MARVELOUS is totally dependent upon these individuals. If you have experience writing/performing songs and creating compositions (we are hoping to create a score), we are looking for you.
Our other roles (audio engineer for mixing and sound effects, video editor for editing video content, promoter to run publicity campaigns) are just as (if not more) important as the others, but are also self-explanatory.
We are excited to work with you to bring this dream to life!

Please submit anything that you feel can give us an idea of your talents, both in terms of your acting ability and your musical prowess. We will provide more instructions (and a cast list) once you have been accepted into the cast!

For musicians, we are looking for creatives who can collaborate with each other to create the sound of a New Oz. We are looking for a score composer and other musicians who work well within an ensemble, as the sound of MARVELOUS is totally dependent upon these individuals. If you have experience performing songs and creating compositions (we are hoping to create a score as well as songs), we are looking for you. Feel free to submit samples of your work in this application!

For score composers, we are looking for composers with strong composition skills and an emphasis on versatility and experimentation, though experience is not required. Collaboration is also imperative, as the score composer will be working heavily with our music and writing teams to create the soundtrack of MARVELOUS.

For video editors, your role would mainly be dependent upon what other team members produce, and you would work closely with our storyboard artist to chart the flow of the experience, as well as with our promoter to create content to advertise the project. More detailed info will come as the project develops, but feel free to submit your work in this application.

For audio engineers, you would work closely with our musicians to chart the musical flow of the experience, as well as aid in creating non-musical sound effects for the project. More detailed info will come as the project develops, but feel free to submit your prior work in this application.

For promoters, your role would help to aid in making sure this project is discovered by the largest possible audience, both to raise its profile and to gather more personnel. More detailed info will come as the project develops, but this role is sorely needed.
