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.
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.

Official tumblr up!
https://www.tumblr.com/blog/mission-7-save-earth The official Tumblr for M7:SE has been created! However I'm still very new to Tumblr, so it's a bit of a WIP as I figure stuff out.
Also known as Roosevelt and Minzi.
(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 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.
(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?"
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.
(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, 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 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."
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.
(Vaguely confused but cheery) "Mrs. Lincoln! It's so.. nice to meet you! Er, our daughters have been getting along very well, or so Wendy tells me."
(Skeptical) "Wendy honey, are you sure you want to be friends with that Rose girl..?"
Mrs. Mark's husband and Wendy's dad. Loves Wendy with his entire heart but still struggling a little with her transition. Very much a "no boys till you're 20" type of guy.
(Kindly, bit antsy) "It's great to meet you! And I'm sure you've met our so...-aughter. Daughter. I'm sure you've met our daughter, Wendy."
(Over-protective dad) "Now Wendy, you know what I said about dating.."
The english teacher for Wendy's class. Tries too hard to "appeal" to the kids. Drinks 5 cups of coffee a day. Someone help him.
(Painfully cheery) "Now class, if you would please turn to page 41 in your textbooks, we will rap the lesson!"
"Hey kids! You guys gonna go ride your skateboards? Yes...? No? No? Oh, well, ah, alright! H-Have a good afternoon!"
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.
(Annoyed, loud, strict) "Johnny! Cut that crap out, this isn't the kindergarten playground! You need to go, go, go!
(Friendly) "Joseph-Alexander! Great work out there kid. Grab your pals and head to my office. But don't bring Sam. Sam cheated." (No longer friendly at end, glaring at Sam)
Wendy's little brother. Far too activist for a seven year old. year old. His mom let him get a tumblr. Very energetic. Missing one of his front teeth.
(Happy) "Bye Wendy! Bye Mommy! Bye weird lady! Bye president Roosevelt!"
(He honestly doesn't have any idea what he's saying, but he's 'angry') "I rebel! Gender is a social construct! I, uh um... ANARCHY!" (Feel free to mispronounce anarchy)
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.
Various student extras. Try a couple different voices!
"Xander, yo!"
"Can you help me with my math homework?"
(Ad-lib a line. You'll be doing lot's of ad-lib.)
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.
