Tommy Oliver/Lord Drakkon 5/20 Deadline
Deadline for Tommy Oliver auditions will be 5/20.
5/15 Deadline for
Kimberly Hart
Trini Kwan
Scorpina
Other role deadlines remain TBA as the audition process continues to develop.
Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers '96 is the unofficial fourth season of Mighty Morphin' never told. A proper finale for the original "six teenagers with attitude," creatively revamped from visor-to-morpher by a fresh, bold, and totally morphinominal vision.
In MMPR '96, Katherine Hillard's ultimate destiny is revealed as the Pink Ronin, a hardened warrior vowed to avenge her fallen comrades against the evil, enigmatic ruler of all worlds, Lord Drakkon. However, Drakkon's ambitions extend far beyond even her worst imaginings. Only by re-discovering the value of trust and forgiving sins past, can she hope to aid the last Rangers--including her younger self-- that stand between Drakkon and his plans for complete multiverse domination.
The goal behind MMPR '96 is to create a professional-sounding cinematic audio drama, with a fresh story that cherry-picks concepts and canon from both the original show and Boom comics infused with my own creative re-interpretations of what Power Rangers is, has been, and should be in the year 2025. A complete deconstruction of the world and its characters, merged with deep, thematic symbolism and complex character arcs that span across an epic saga.
MMPR '96 is produced and written exclusively by me, using Da Vinci Resolve to edit, with licensed sound effects and music from epidemicsound.com, in addition to other sources. I have extensive experience with audio as a medium through working over the years re-editing/re-scoring a certain favorite anime of mine that can be found sailing the seven seas, and have written more than a couple "not-quite publishing-ready" novels, with an absolute obsession at understanding and mastering the craft of storytelling, finding inspiration and tremendous insight from legendary guru's like Robert McKee, John Turby, etc.
I'm looking for dedicated voice actors seeking unique, engaging, and challenging material to tackle that they would be more than proud to cite MMPR '96 as a work reference on their voiceover resumes.
If there are any more questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me!

TLDR: Tommy=Black Symbiote Spider-Man
TLDR: Drakkon=Zamasu/Goku Black
Extended Auditions:
Kat-Kim-Tommy
Saba-Tommy
Lord Drakkon-Pink Ronin
Tommy Oliver has always had a knack for achieving the impossible--such as proving himself worthy to possess the powers of the White Emissary, Saba--thanks to his uncanny discipline fueled by his love of Kimberly Hart. But when that love is shattered after she dumps him, Tommy struggles with learning how to fill the void with a new obsession to continue to keep driving himself forward...
In another reality, Lord Drakkon has conquered the Earth and numerous Eltarian systems, yet his disenchantment with existence still weighs heavily on him. However, when he gains access to the wider Multiverse, he discovers the true secret behind all his misery--the lack of a compelling and fitting equal...
*To Jason* Okay then, Zordan—now your ass is really going on this mat!
Kim, look—no one knows more than me how it feels. When I lost Green...I’d wished I’d died. But...you were there for me. I want to help...but you keep running away, and I can’t understand why.
*To Pink Ronin* That’s a matter of perspective, but now you finally understand the truth. I am not this conjured up evil spirit you’ve imagined masquerading around in the face you so love. No, the facade, the mask—it’s all been from you parading around as a vigilante against my divine justice. Hiding, burying yourself in the sands like a worm afraid to embrace me out of a nonsensical fear of forsaking the others. But you can’t hide from yourself anymore, Kat. Even as I speak, your very eyes betray the lies behind the false, virtuous persona you still shakingly cling to. So, I—Lord Drakkon—beseech you—unburden yourself from the specter of Zordon’s moral decadence, and free yourself to be mine as you yearn!
TLDR: Pink Ronin=Batman
TLDR: Kat=Kitty Pryde
Extended Auditions:
Kat-Kim-Tommy
Kim Slayer-Pink Ronin
Astronema-Cranston-Ecliptor-KimSlayer-Pink Ronin
Lord Drakkon-Pink Ronin
As the fresh rookie on the Mighty Morphin' team, Katherine Hillard finds herself not just battling the usual monsters and aliens of-the-week, but her own imposter syndrome over the seemingly impossible task of replacing the legendary Kimberly Hart. Between navigating Ranger duties with her own complicated feelings for Kimberly's ex, and visions of a nightmarish world haunting her dreams, Kat finds herself quickly thrusted as the central key figure that may help decide the ultimate fate of not just the Rangers, but their reality.
For in another one conquered by the mysterious Lord Drakkon, Pink Ronin stands as the last survivor of Zordan's legacy, fueled by vengeance to kill Drakkon for his unfathomable atrocities...
***Must have Australian accent, natural or practiced***
*As Pink Ronin* About time you came out your cubby holes. I was getting impatient. *Break* I have no quarrel with any of you. Leave, before you make a mistake you won’t live to regret.
*As Pink Ronin* Tell me, why didn’t your Lord send his precious Ranger Slayer with you? *Break* Pity. She was the only chance you had.
*As MMPR Kat* I...remember seeing the Dragonzord on the telly back home...scared out-of-my-bloody-wits like everyone else about these horrifying alien machines and monsters popping up again and again since Arrival Day like some late-night Godzilla marathon.
TLDR: Kimberly=Iron Man/Atom Eve
TLDR: Kimslayer=Joker/Harley Quinn
Extended Auditions:
Kat-Kim-Tommy
Divatox-Kim
Kim Slayer-Pink Ronin
Astronema-Cranston-Ecliptor-KimSlayer-Pink Ronin
After Rita's latest scheme permanently severs Kimberly's connection to the Pterodactyl coin, she has traded smashing in monster faces for climbing cliffs without ropes, underground motorbike racing through the streets of nighttime Paris, and even recreational drugs and alcohol--anything that chases the adrenaline-junkie high being a Ranger once gave her. It's not until Promethea CEO Grace Sterling recruits her to become their first "Promethea Pink" Ranger does she sober back up into heroine mode.
Intent on not wasting her second chance, Kimberly dives head-on with her mission to redefine the very concept of Power Ranger in the world. Taking advantage of the growing rifts within the team, she convinces Tommy, Zack, and Billy to leave Zordon's "rules" in the dustbin and join her. However, as a growingly disenchanted Tommy starts becoming more unwieldly to control, she starts re-evaluating if her approach isn't actually eliminating threats, but creating one...
Yet, in another reality, after being captured and psychologically twisted into becoming Lord Drakkon's sycophantically murderous "Ranger Slayer," the ex Kimberly Hart chases after the only remaining Power Ranger that has eluded the end of bow--The Pink Ronin--the Kitty who stole her beloved Pterodactyl coin...
Oh, for Christ’s sake, Tommy, do you always need everything spelled out in ABC’s and 123’s? I swear, for being able to go head-to-head with the worst freakshows imaginable—you’re an absolutely infuriating lughead sometimes.
Kat’s gotten exactly what she’s wanted, hasn’t she? My coin, my friends, you...
*To Pink Ronin* Liar. I’m the one with post-clitoral clarity bout our relationship...Zack, Billy, Trini...they were your world, and I took them all away, one-by-one, leaving you all by your lonesome now to run around with the remaining filth that sully my Lord’s grand plans, prancing around in a fancy cape like you’re Jason in Pink with a larger bust. No, you, you’re the one who flatters herself pretendin’ like you're still this mighty morphin’ Power Ranger worthy of that pterodactyl coin you stole from me along with My Lord’s affections!
TLDR: Jason=Cyclops/Steve Rogers
Extended Audition:
Since being chosen by Zordon to be the leader of the Power Rangers, Jason has wholly committed himself to being the ever vigilant foundational pillar of the team, even at the constant expense of his other normal responsibilities and social life. A balance he's never been good at, and never minded about writing off.
However, when he begins a relationship with a spunky ex-Biker gang member named Emily, he starts to reconsider the perks that companionship offers to Ranger-life balance. Even more so when him and Trini are recruited by the Blue Emissary to spearhead intergalactic rescue missions saving so-called "Empowered" individuals who are being hunted down by nefarious forces, where his newfound loneliness from missing Emily leads to Jason finding a potentially even greater comfort with Trini...
Hey, don’t knock yourself, Tommy. We all have off days.
That was when we had the luxury of being naive and ill-prepared. Zedd ended that.
*To Trini* Says who? Kim? The person who just ran out on us and Tommy? Who hates Kat’s guts now despite being the one who gave her the damn Pterodactyl coin? That Kim who’s never even known what a decision is if it isn’t rash and impulsive and centered first-and-foremost on herself?
Extended Audition:
Angelia-Rita-Zack
When Zach became the Black Ranger, he thought it was the first grand step of his life's journey toward undeniable greatness. Four years later, however, he still feels like he's stuck in freshmen year. Hip Hop Kido has stagnated, and his off again-on-again girlfriend Angela has decided it's time to find someone more serious.
But, when Kimberly returns to the fold as Promethea's new government sanctioned Pink Ranger, Zack decides to join her bold new crusade in expanding the scope of the Power Rangers influence around the world by kicking all of Zordon's old rules to the curb.
Fame, fortune, and endless attention from the ladies that leave Angela the one finally chasing him seem like an overdue boon, but Zack soon finds out that overnight celebrity and success carries its own set of drawbacks...
Dang, Tommy—Jace is smoking you today. Already lost count.
Yo, Kimberly! How’s my favorite future Olympic gymnast swingin’?
Why don’t you grab a chair and kick it with us for a bit?
Billy Extended Auditions:
Adam-Billy-Karone
Astronema-Cranston-Ecliptor-KimSlayer-Pink Ronin
Since ditching the overalls, switching to contacts, and streamlining his vocabulary, Billy has seen a clear statistical improvement in his attraction to the opposite sex since becoming a Power Ranger, but it is that very responsibility that has compelled him to always cut things short from growing too serious.
That is until meeting Kay Andersen, an Angel Grove High senior transfer student. Her radiant energy and innocent naivety seem almost tailor-made to his specifications, but even after Billy joins Kimberly's Promethea Ranger revolution rebelling against Zordon's rules, revealing his identify as the Blue Ranger to Kay still seems like a bridge too far, just as continuing on with the relationship and lying to her about it...
Well, I’d say he’s currently suffering from a major dissociative preoccupation impairing the connection between his cerebrum and central nervous system.
*To Zack as Trini walks in to argue with Jason* I sense a discomforting disposition entering our recreational facility’s vicinity.
I’d wager our presence for this impending quarrel is politely requested to be excused.
Extended Audition:
Trini has always prided herself on doing what's right, whether that's fighting to protect the Earth as the Yellow Power Ranger, or working as a community and environmental activist in Angel Grove--she has never compromised her morals--even when it's painful. Such as cutting off her ties to her ex-best friend Kimberly Hart after Kimberly's return as the new Promethea Pink Ranger in open rebellion against Zordon's rules that Trini firmly believes in.
However, as she and Jason are recruited by the Blue Emissary to spearhead intergalactic rescue missions saving the mysterious rise of so-called "Empowered" individuals who are being hunted down by nefarious forces, Trini finds herself unable to resist suppressing her feelings for Jason any longer--engaging in a secret affair with him despite Jason still in an active relationship with Emily, a spunky ex-Biker trying to turn over a new leaf partly thanks to Jason's influence...
Billy-ese is...an acquired taste.
Kim! Oh my God, where have you been? We haven’t seen you in school, and you haven’t returned my calls. We’ve been worried.
You know, when I cry, my Mom often says, “May our tears fall like rain, so the storms can pass.” I always thought I understood what she meant by it...until I became a Ranger.
TLDR: Karone=Leon the Professional's Mathilda (Natalie Portman) & Zeiram's Iria
Extended Auditions:
Adam-Billy-Karone
Astronema-Cranston-Ecliptor-KimSlayer-Pink Ronin
As a bounty hunter, Karone has little concern for macabre villains or teenagers-with-attitude--as long as they both stay out her way in settling her personal vendetta with the intergalactic space pirate Divatox--the woman who killed her parents.
In another reality, Karone has been reborn as Astronema, the Emissary of the Dark Specter--a ethereal force responsible for balancing the scales between good and evil. A scale that has become upended thanks to the rise of Lord Drakkon...
Gee, Billy--you're so smart and like, so educated! Why, I bet you could take Mr. Wilton's place and not miss a beat.
I don't know what polar molecules are...but I certainly know what being strongly attracted to someone is like...
*As Astronema* I know you, Katherine Hillard. I shared similar tragedy, similar hurt, similar fear. It is all a wearisome burden, but the very nature of your benightedness compels you to cling on because it is all you know, afraid of the greater vastness of perceptions that await beyond the blight of your own self-indulgent persona.
TLDR: Rita = Cersei Lannister
Extended Audition:
Hatred has been the defining emotion Rita has known for the majority of her life--hatred of Zedd for banishing her from her rightful place at the Eltarian throne, and hatred of Zordon for entrapping her in his Reformation cube for over ten thousand years--where she was forced to live simulated lives of all her past victims, falling in love and having children, only to suffer at the horror of watching them being brutally killed by herself again and again.
Yet her hatred always persisted, and now that Lord Zedd's final gambit against the Rangers has cost him his cosmic powers, and the Eltarian Empire's throne has been seized by her father's twisted machinations, Rita is finally poised to extract her personal style of revenge on Zordon and his Ranger children, no longer burdened by the shackles of Zedd's foolish honorable rules of engagement...
*** This is a completely different take on the character that's the furthest thing from her traditional Barbara Goodson portrayal***
Hmph. I told you, didn’t I, my poor, foolishly flayed cadaver of a husband? My father’s fealty lies solely with his iniquitous work, not a fledging allegiance to a pompous tyrant’s declining hold.
Most vulnerable? Let’s kill them in their sleep like the children they are and be done with it!
You Eltarians and your asinine sense of honor will be the end of you just like it was for Zordon, Zedd. But don’t pretend my plan was all for naught. Besides the ample amount of coin energy procured, my precious Kat has replaced the Pink Ranger. She does not have the training or experience of her predecessor, which is to our advantage if we act quickly.
TLDR: Zedd = Magneto
Extended Auditions:
Lord Zedd faces what he once thought was the impossible--certain defeat. Whether from losing his cosmic powers from his latest failed gambit with the Rangers, or a mysterious charlatan usurper seizing his Eltarian throne--Zedd finds himself teetering on the edge of being swept away into the dustbin of history.
However, he holds one final card to play--retrieving the Power Coin that once belonged to Eltar's greatest warrior, the Supreme Commander Zolpham...his original self...
You speak candidly for one who’s life hinges on the barest threads that remain of my ascetic graces.
Do not test me, Rita—least you forget there are far worse agonies to suffer than a merciful death.
The Rangers have proven themselves most formidable with battle mechs. Only a full-powered Serpentera could destroy their arsenal. No, Goldar, they must be met on the ground, where they are most vulnerable.
Extended Auditions:
When young Lami's assassination attempt failed against the disgraced Eltarian Empress that razed her city, she expected to quickly join the rest of her family in the afterlife. Instead, not only was her life spared by the extremely impressed Rita, but she was adopted into Rita's own royal guard.
In another reality, she's a dubious merc hired to help her former frenemy the Pink Ronin take down the iron-fisted tyrant Lord Drakkon and his demented Ranger Slayer. However, Lami has her own personal vendetta to settle against the self-proclaimed God--freeing the robotized remains of the former Empress of Eltar from his enslavement...
So that’s what sulking on your throne like a reclusive mute for weeks is called now? Strategy?
Speak for yourself, Titan. My tongue doesn’t grovel like yours.
*Talking to Goldar* Enslavement requires a power source like the Dragon Coin to keep its host subservient. The kitten was swayed through manipulative suggestions of things already buried deep in her heart, but like a knob, another’s hand can reverse the effects. Of course, a lapdog like yourself only needs orders to follow, not details.
Extended Auditions:
For Goldar, a blood oath is a blood oath and must be honored--even if honoring it meant cleaving his own rebellious Titan brother's head off at the sadistic command of the all-mighty Eltarian Emperor, Lord Zedd.
However, after Zedd's latest gambit against the Power Rangers cost him his cosmic powers, Goldar travels with Zedd as his only remaining ally across the galaxy to revive Eltar's greatest warrior to defeat the Rangers once-and-for-all--the Supreme Commander Zolphram...Lord Zedd's former self.
A being Goldar holds no blood oath too...
*** Wanting a truly fearsome take on Goldar, not a show-accurate one***
Dammit! I have no patience for these childish games when there should be Ranger blood on my sword!
Our Lord is simply strategizing his remaining avenues for attack.
P-pardon me, my Lord, but what about repowering Serpentera? Surely that would be the better alternative than expending the finite coin energy collected on yet another of Finster’s failed, useless abominations?
TLDR: Divatox = Leon the Professional's Norman Stansfield (Gary Oldman)
Extended Audition:
Divatox-Kim
The self-styled "Queen of the Pirates," Divatox has zero interest in frivolous planetary conquest. Her empire building kinks come in the form of furthering the expansion of her interstellar smuggling operations, particularly when it comes to her signature-hit designer drug, Tox.
Targeting the Earth as the next big hotbed for its development and production, Divatox sets her sights on R&D'ing her latest experimental mind-controlling strain of the drug by self-volunteering the currently hottest celebrity on the planet and leader of the Power Rangers--the one and only Promethea Pink Ranger, Kimberly Hart.
Pardon the interruption to your never-ending festival of greed--which I greatly adore by the way--but I've come to make just a teensy little withdrawal for a very special client, along with delivering a message...
Any other brave, courageous souls among you seeking a first-hand supernova experience? No? Splendid! Now, as I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted--your days as the reigning exploitive occupiers of the globe are coming to their bittersweet end.
Naturally, this will lead to certain redundancies in desperate need of liquidation--you know, the usual bloodletting and back-stabbing involved with merger and acquisitions.
TLDR: Zordan = Charles Xavier
Extended Auditions:
Originally an Eltarian living in exhile, Zord0n was reborn on Earth as a transcendent neural AI that has served as the Power Rangers guiding hand in their secret war against the Eltarian Emperor Lord Zedd and his disavowed Empress, Rita.
However, when a mysterious new Gold Ranger emerges to aid the Rangers in battle, the sins of Zordon's mortal past are finally revealed, shaking the foundational trust built with his teenagers with attitude over the years to its very core.
*** I'm open to interpretation for the voice, but Heisenberg-like gravitas is what my ideal is for it. "Classic Zordon" doesn't fit "96's tone***
Katherine, there’s no need to be alarmed. Your dreams are probably just the last psychic remnants of Rita’s spell trying to regain control. A normal side-effect that will vanish in time.
Rita is cold and murderous. Her possession of you does not foretell your own capacity for good or evil. That can only be determined by your own choices.
I beg to differ. Indeed, being a Ranger is a tremendous burden to carry—especially at your age—but you must remember, the others too once shared similar gaps in their experience and instincts. Only through strict discipline, training, and a willingness to learn from their failings have they become the seasoned warriors you’re misjudging your own potential by. Growth takes time, Katherine. You must learn to embrace that fact if you ever hope to one day master not just being a Ranger, but yourself.
Saba Extended Audition:
Created by the Illumination, Saba--also known as the White Light and White Emissary--has sought a wielder worthy of his power since the Illumination's ascension to beyond the mortal planes.
His search finally came to an end however once he met Tommy Oliver--a being that fascinated him like no other due to Tommy's unorthodox power of obsession to love and protect his dedicated companion Kimberly Hart.
So...yet another mortal has elected to stain themselves upon my divine realm. What an excruciatingly tedious fate I must suffer...
Not a very bright one, are you? Certainly not clever enough to have traveled here on your own accord. Has the universe fallen into such dire straits it's now reduced to sending a mere child to claim me? The hubris behind such an offering...insulting.
Intimidated? Oh, how highly you flatter yourself! I could drive you into an irrevocable madness at any moment of my choosing--if you are even worthy of such an honor. Tell me, why should I spare your frail, malleably stunted psyche from being shattered by my magnificence?
Extended Audition:
Alpha-Kat-Zordon
Alpha 5--the cute little robot servant of Zordon originally created by the planet Edenoi's wisest sage, Nobleman Lexian.
*** Impersonation, or surprise me***
Oh, what a relief! Usually, Billy calls around this time to work on command center projects.
Zordan‘s right! Tommy struggled with nightmares too, and he’s perfectly fine now.
Oh...sorry, Katherine. One of the circuits in the lower-level generators shorted. Please ignore me.
Extended Audition:
Adam-Billy-Karone
NOT a Power Ranger.
A Junior at Angel Grove High, and friend of Zachary Taylor and Billy Cranston.
*I want the character to have more of that JYB over-the-top energy and style than Adam's more traditionally muted "I'm a Frog" portrayal***
*To Kay* Fine--but only because I need Billy to Bill Nye us another A from Angel Grove's High's numero uno chemistry A-hole Mr. Wilton today.
I don't, but not everything in life is a bookworm science project, Billy. It's vibes...or intuition as you'd call it. Besides, Zack told me you used to date a girl scout, and that one nerdy girl Violet who went so far as to make a freakin' statue out of you. I mean, not even all-star quarterback Matt Cook can brag about ever being honored like that.
Bro, it's your senior year--what could possibly be more important in the world right now than getting laid?
The Juice Bar Guy that says "on the house" a lot.
Here you go, kids. Five cold sodas, and for our new Aussie Park Kat, today’s special goji berrie smoothie—on the house!
Hey, just doing my small part to make ya feel at home. Couldn’t find better tour guides to Angel Grove than your cohorts here.
Hey! Bulk! Skull! Haven’t I told ya nimrods...
Extended Audition:
Angelia-Rita-Zack
Zack's on again/off-again girlfriend...sorta...kinda--it's complicated.
Reference Scene: https://youtu.be/ypP1L8FzcV8?t=517
Zack, you're too dang corny to be a big-time Hollywood star...but you know...I don't mind corny...as long as that popcorn pager doesn't go off again.
You did. No disappearing act, and I've never seen a R-rated film in an actual theater before. Not too shabby for a second date.
Guys always take themselves so seriously when trying to impress me. But you...it's like there's nothing in the world that jams up your gutters--not even me.
To voice Classic Rita in the opening, in Episode 6, "Katnap on Ice," and commercial segments.
Ahhh! After ten thousand years I'm free! It's time to conquer Earth!
Oh, indeed I was, Jason--until the writer realized you can't truly rain on a Ranger parade without some classic Wicked Witch of the West, nails-on-a- chalkboard Goodson-ness! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Hehehehehe! I'm afraid neither of you have a choice! The franchise is in the mud, and Karl's doing Zeo. You have no where else to go for work, power pukes! It's going to be so much fun giving you all such massive headaches! HAHAHAHA--
To voice Classic Zordon in the opening, and commercial segments.
*** Totally looking for the best OG Zordon Impersonation on this one.***
Alpha, Rita's escaped! Recruit a team of teenagers with attitude!
Congratulations on a job well done. Now that you've become Power Rangers, you must follow three basic rules, or lose the protection of the power. First, never use your power for personal gain. Second, never escalate a battle unless Rita forces you. And finally, keep your identities secret. No one may know that you are a Power Ranger.
Luck had nothing to do with it. The five of you have come together to form as fine a group of superheroes as they're has ever been.
Narrator for necessary lines in episode recaps. Think Dragon Ball Kai/Super.

Role for Episode 4, "I Really, Really Hate CopyKats."
Reference Scene: https://youtu.be/3o4dW5vgvSg?t=113
(clears throat) Mr. Park--I would advise you to be more cautious with the handling of valuable school equipment, unless you want me to speak to Coach Fairfield about your lackadaisical attitude in my classroom again...
Good. Then I suggest you stay more attentive to your current assignment like Mr. Cranston and Ms Andersen.
Looking for talented musical contributors for composing certain musical pieces for this series.
1. Recap theme: A Recap theme that can be a variation of the MMPR theme, but different enough to not dilute the impact of the actual Intro theme song.
2. Intro: Currently, I'm not actively seeking an Intro theme, as I feel pretty fine with sticking with the OG Ron Wasserman version as is (First 20 seconds being the TV theme, with the remainder being spliced from Wasserman's 2012 Redux Remaster). My current WIP of it can be viewed below.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1-uqZrslCAjfblbcPAAlFbS3QCVr9C01_/view?usp=drive_link
However, I'm open to discussing the possibility of a new cover, but it MUST use real instruments 1:1 with Wasserman's version and have vocals.
3. "Earcatchers': Bumpers for the "commercial break" at the half-way point in each episode, just like Sentai and various other anime.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pMPeHAJQwpvl0y3qD3C1pLxdwLN96KkF/view?usp=drive_link
4. Power Playback/PSA/Marketing Segments: Now, this is probably the most ambitious/asking musical contribution, but I would like each episode to feature a segment about 1 min to 90 seconds paying direct homage to the original TV show, recreating its most memorable segments (particularly from Season 1) with the MMPR '96 cast (though not canon to MMPR '96 story itself).Given the homage nature, I would like the classic mickey-mousing of the musical bits recreated as-faithfully-as-possible to perfectly compliment the tributes to the Original Show these scenes are meant to be.
Currently, i have a rough draft mock-up for E1 based on this scene from the first episode of the series: Source for segment name, and the beginning style of intros for these: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1gYa5mKnhPbj30eCvqk_pm7ThLAn2PwNM/view?usp=drive_link
Original Clip: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1g6phmX2rvujt5jggYp6RpVKcrhMzAn-5/view?usp=drive_link
E1 Mock Up: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nspHY3m7aoF73vJKQO_VE9xUIRRWTsPI/view?usp=drive_link
5. Outro: I'm looking for a proper Outro/Credits theme that is a loose reprisal of the MMPR theme (like in the original show in the example below), but this one is way more open to creative re-interpretation/modernization, not to mention will have to be longer given the natural differences behind the act of production crediting in audio versus the fast scrolling of visual media.
https://youtu.be/TRT2BP67TPU?list=PLyv1WVrFyI2PbhLbbBZ900iB6KyUejUFq
6. Next Episode Preview: I'm wanting to have a 30 second NEP at the end of each episode (after the credits), similar to how many anime (like Dragon Ball), or Super Sentai itself feature (like in the example from Sentai MEGA Ranger below).
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fdguE9nbFqedxsGv9I6cQrvCsDbmyLq_/view?usp=drive_link
*Say something you think would fit*
Looking for talented artist(s) who can help with the few visual aspects involved with the series.
1.Logo--Wanting a logo to use that remains faithful to the original MMPR design (as if they were directly hired to re-design the logo for a MMPR Season 4 instead of Zeo back in the day), but with the added '96 included (think X-Men '97).
2.Thumbnails--someone who knows how to create eye-catching thumbnails and images for social media audio podcast platforms like Spotify/iTunes/Youtube, etc.
3.Character Art--Someone with a unique and striking art style to make the pieces that can be used for the episode thumbnails. Given how demanding hand-drawn art is, I'm not asking for anything super-detailed like this "Jim Lee" slop concept of Pink Ronin from Grok:
