Mission 7: Save Earth (Original Animatic Series)

Mission 7: Save Earth (Original Animatic Series)

Project Overview


    When a portal to dangerous planets opens up in the conference room of a simple middle school, you have to stop it. And that's exactly what 13-year-old alien Minzi and her mom were hired to do. Under the alias Roosevelt (or Rose, more preferably), the young girl must keep the residents of earth safe. But upon meeting bubbly Wendy and her friend Joseph-Alexander, everything will slowly go out of hand.


Explanation

Mission 7: Save Earth (possibly temporary title) is the purely passion project that I've been working on for quite some time now. At the moment, I have yet to find a good, affordable animation software that has exactly what I need. Because of that, all episodes will be animatic style with audio. I have a solid first season planned (with more to come), as well as a fully finished script for episode one. The series will be posted on youtube, on a channel not quite yet created. At the moment season one has 10 episodes planned, and I have two more seasons with archs written. Currently it's set to end after season three, but it's highly likely that this could all change due to it still being in very early process.
   As the little plot summary said, the story is about a middle school alien girl named Rose. She's been hired to go undercover on earth and keep people from discovering a portal that has opened up in the conference room of a small town school. The other side of the portal is full of dangerous monsters that would cause the destruction of earth and everyone on it.
   But like, no pressure, right?
   Due to complex alien technology, the portal has been stabilized and will not let anyone through. However, the device isn't perfected, and if a middle schooler pressed the right button, there goes Earth!
   The series follows along Rose, Wendy, and Joseph-Alexander, as well as several other smaller characters that will make varying amounts of appearances. It will take place both on Earth and several other outerspace locations. There will be LGBT+ topics. If you have a problem with those, I suggest you don't audition. Thanks!

Requirements
-Decent mic: doesn't have to be ultra professional, but it should give good, clear audio with no cracks and pops.
-No background noise: A must! I can't have fans blowing and dogs barking when there are no fans or dogs!
-Dedication: If all goes as planned, this will be a rather long term project, quite possibly going on for several years. At least, that's what I hope for. If you audition you better be ready to get cast and stay  cast. Thank you!
-Don't be a jerk: I think this is pretty self explanatory, but really, be nice. Everyone in the cast and crew will be a nice fun family.
-Have Discord and Gmail: There will be a Cast/Crew discord group where information will be shared, as well as allowing everyone to talk and get to know each other. We may even occasionally do calls, to rehears and chat about what we wish. Gmail is needed due to scripts being kept in google docs, as well as me needing to have an easy way to contact you.
-Only audition if you think you'll enjoy it: Though the dream scenario would be to become super popular and successful and sell merchandise, I really just want it all to be fun. Doesn't matter if we get 5 subscribers or 5 thousand; I want all of us to have fun and enjoy what we're doing.

Other info
   This project will not be making money, and therefor no one will be getting paid. People will have to work ofpurely wanting to do it. However, if at some point it does make a profit, it will be shared and sent through paypal.
   I do plan to make actual animated episodes at some point, but I can't say when that will happen. So for the mean time, episodes will all be released animatic style.
   I'm working on an official tumblr, which will have project updates, as well as sneak peaks and character art. All characters have designs, I simply don't have them uploaded here yet. Once created, a link to the tumblr will be posted here.
   The series will be kept PG13, with only minor cursing (crap, crud, etc.), and slight violence. However, I can't promise the chat will, considering I personally have a tendency to curse.

  I believe that is all the information I have to give out. Keep an eye out for updates, and if you have any questions feel free to ask! Simply leave a comment and I'll reply as soon as possible. I will be listening to all auditions and letting you know when I hear yours. And now that I'm finally done talking, good luck!

Rose
open
Unpaid

Also known as Roosevelt and Minzi.

Rose is our main protagonist, from the planet Axten (az-ten). She's very quiet and nervous, at least until you get to know her. Not exactly the best at socializing. If she gains a close connection with someone, she's gonna start caring too much. Takes her job very seriously, and it's often why she's scared to make friends or draw attention to herself. Rose is 13. I want to see what you think her voice should sound like: have fun with it! Feel free to try multiple voices and multiple ways of saying lines.

  • (Think 'Please get me out of here' mindset) "Uh.. I'm, uh, I'm Roosevelt."

  • (Snappy) "No! I mean, um, no. Don't touch it."

  • (Comforting, little concerned) "Let's.. Let's think of that when we come to it, alright? I'm sure everything will be fine."

Wendy
open
Unpaid

Wendy is bright, positive, and one of the most loyal friends you'll ever get. She always believes in second chances, and third chances. And fourths. And fifths. She's very sensitive and has a tendency to get angry when you mess with her friends. Wendy also more or less wants to befriend, well, everyone. Though always putting on a very optimistic personality, inside she's full of anxiety and worry. Can also get annoying.  Like our other leads, she's 13.

Please note that Wendy is canonically a trans girl,  a few months into transition. 
Show me what you think her voice should be like!

  • (Confident, jokingly) "I can tell just by looking. And all of them are cool."

  • (Little nervous, in slight pain at end) "H-hey, so, um, I've been thinking and, you know we've known each other for awhile and I was wondering if- ngh-

  • (Frustrated, finally getting something out) "ROOSEVELT LINCOLN, ARE YOU AN ALIEN?"

Joseph-Alexander

Ah, Joseph-Alexander. The boy with too long a name, and therefor too many nicknames. He's one of Wendy's best friends, and more or less makes sure she doesn't get into something that would get her killed. Bit of a smart-alec, teachers pet, top-of-the-class kinda guy. He'll help you cheat on your math test though. Definitely the most sensible out of the trio, and will make everyone snacks. Honestly, he's the mom friend. However, he can also worry too much; and sometimes what he thinks is right for someone isn't really right for them. Also 13.

Lemme see what you think he sounds like!

  • (Skeptical) "How do you know someone's cool without getting to know them first?"

  • (Think 'shaking head disapprovingly') "Someday Wendy, you're going to end up befriending a murderer."

  • (Upset, defeated and lonely) "I'm jealous Wendy! Okay?! There, I said it! I-I miss you, alright! W-We used to be such good friends, and now-.. Y-you were a-all I had, did you never realize that?"

Ms. Lincoln

Role assigned to: Christi E.

Ms. Lincoln, Rose's mom, is very, er.. eccentric. She hasn't exactly grasped how to act like a perfect human. Most of her information comes from the internet, which as you can imagine, leads to a lot of misinterpretations. She's rather energetic, and though Rose gets annoyed with her often, in reality she's only trying her best. A good soul that only wants the best for her daughter.

  • (Cheerful) "But the internet says fruit is good for you!"

  • (Tearful) "O-oh stars Minzi, I'm sorry.. I only- you- I love you, sweetheart."

  • (Excited, 'mom embarrassing her child') "Bye honey! Have a good prom! I put a clementine in your pocket!"

Richard The Janitor

Richard is the janitor at our lovely middle school. A bit into season 1 he befriends rose, and becomes a bit of a fatherly figure for her. He's caring and chill, and honestly pretty wise. Good guy for advice while staring at stars. A little lonely of a dude, and Rose fills a hole in his heart that's been there since his son passed away. Though never directly brought up, he knows more than you think he does.

  • (Comfortingly, calmly) "Stars are pretty cool, aren't they kiddo?"

  • (Almost a moment of flashback, melancholy) "It suits you, kid."

  • (Fatherly) "Rose, you're the most interesting person I know. And you're just a kid! There's a universe waiting for you. Go get it."

Mrs. President/Sally Riddle
open
Unpaid

The president of the United States! Also one of the few earth inhabitants that knows of aliens. In fact, she's on the universal council; but we'll talk more about that later. This poor woman is stressed 24/7, and tends to get snappy and annoyed. Can be very sarcastic, as well as very straight to business. She knows what she's doing, even if she's doing way too much of it for her own sanity. Sleep deprived and probably sick of you. Living on coffee. She can be kind and caring sometimes, but she never strays away from the harsh truth of the situation. If everyone's going to die, she's gonna tell ya.

  • ('are you freaking kidding me', pissed off and busy mood) "Mr. Saxon, I told you already and I won't say it again, I needed those papers yesterday!"

  • (Obviously doesn't actually believe any of this is going to work, but hey forced optimism!) "Ah, little Minzi! I'm so glad to meet you! Our future hero! Hahahah- Oh Jesus Christ humanities survival depends on a 10 year old."

  • (straight to the facts, a bit harsh) "Look kid, we all depend on you. Take it seriously down there, all right? You have billions of lives on your shoulders. Don't screw it up."

Wendy's mom. Can be a little strict but loves her family. Very accepting and understanding of Wendy, but can be a little overprotective. May disapprove a little of Rose and her mom.

The snappy gym teacher of Wendy's school. If you misbehave, you're on her bad side for the rest of your school life. But if you're a great student, she'll let you hang out in her office and eat Popsicles.

This role is actually compiled of six different very minor characters: Nyzo (nee-zo), Marfid, Clera (Clear-ah), Jexti (jex-tee), Kladomif (Kla-duh-mif), and Ezzzq (Ezzz-ic). Each of these characters is an alien from a different planet. Most will be speaking english, but make their voices wacky! Crackly or nasally or how you wish. The're speaking enlgish, but that doesn't mean they're speaking it well. I will be casting more than one person for these roles, but some people will probably still be playing more than one.

  • (Make up a weird accent/voice) "This may be our only option."

  • (Hissy, it's a snake person!) "A small child..? That is not smart.. Are we wishing for death?"

  • (This is gibberish. Have fun with it.) "rrick-zee, ack zo nix. Clera cree zick.

Role assigned to: haleymcp

So, I can draw, animate, write, design characters and worlds and direct. What I can't do however is edit audio, and there's going to be a lot of that. I'll need someone I'll be able to communicate easily with, and can edit together audio and send me finalized pieces for each episode. This is kind of a necessity! I would really really appreciate if someone could do this! I'll forever be in your debt if you do.

  • Simply introduce yourself and explain your experience. Also confirm that you'll do this without payment, because I am unable to pay anyone as of now.
