Summary: Deep in the wilderness on the sea side, a pack of wolves lives in peace. Obed, a young male wolf, believes in God, but the rest of his pack has lost faith, and he is bullied for it. When demonic beasts start appearing and a treacherous wolf rises from among them, Obed is set on a fated journey to help save what is left of his pack, but in order to do so he must rely on God.
Key Themes Explored: Christianity, Spiritual, Honor, Dignity, Wholesome Romance, Bravery, Inner Conflict, Sacrificial Love, War, Horror, Singing
The Studio: Studio Bluefang works on the film. We are an unpaid, and legally unofficial, team of people who are just very passionate about what we make, the art and the spirit of faith behind it. Most of us are Christian, but some of us are from other faiths or none at all.
Hello everyone!
We are Studio Bluefang, run by myself (Blue/Kiyosho/Achak), and we're looking for all kinds of talent to join up with us. This is a passion project, and will be unpaid; we are looking for people who are, first and foremost, passionate about the subject matter of the film (God and values), as well as for bringing back the 2D animated animal movie genre.
Our movie will include singing sequences, and the characters that sing will be marked so. Please only audition for such characters if you have plenty of experience singing.
Note. You must be okay with the heavy religious themes of this film. We gladly accept everyone onto the team, no matter the faith, race, sexuality, etc, but just know that you will be surrounded by Christians who make Christianity a focus in their lives. The Christians here also stand for everything the Bible says, no exceptions. I am saying this as a disclaimer, just so everyone knows what they are getting into. That said, Christianity will never be pushed on any individual. You do not have to be a Christian to work with us.
Currently we really need storyboard artists. Beyond that, we need to get in-betweeners, colorists and background artists settled; I will be very picky with these, but please don't hesitate to send your portfolio on in! I will love to take a look and support you on your social media platforms, regardless.
Thank you to everyone who applies!

These people are required to create a sketch of the final film, if you will. They are visionaries, those who pencil down what they envision from the movie script. You may apply with digital and/or traditional examples. Please show me 16:9 (1920 x 1080) storyboard panels.
*Say something you think would fit*
These develop artwork containing conceptual ideas, scenes and plots for the film. Digital art preferred.
*Say something you think would fit*
One who adds frames in between keyframes made by the actual animators; this makes the animation more smooth. Must be proficient with digital art, and with Krita animation workspace. I will be picky here because your style will have to match my own, as I am the lead animator.
*Say something you think would fit*
A person, usually an artist, who works closely with color, palettes, design and linework. They color animation cells, and keep things consistent. You have to be able to keep your coloring clean, too; that means no color outside the lines whatsoever (always erase the bits in between the fur strands, animals artists you know what I'm talking about).
*Say something you think would fit*
The main character. This is a role that will involve singing. Some facts about Obed are that he is very sweet, kind, good natured, and brave. For much of the story is also taken aback by hardship, too, so he is a little sensitive. He is easily discouraged.
(friendly, emphasis on ‘you’) “Oh, Maharu. How are you tonight?”
(desperate, pleading) “This is my home, and you are my pack. I would never hurt you. It’s Maharu, he attacked me, he said something about how the era of faith is ending tonight.”
(down, slightly worried) “I, just… I don't know what to do, Lord.”
This is a role that will involve singing. Delilah is a sweet but brave character. She is strong but not overly so. She is a genetic chimera and is outcasted for it, so she has felt alone, with no choice but to be strong.
(cheerful, relaxed, friendly) “Okay. You listen here, Obed. I’ve known you all my life, since we were pups, and… you’re a good man. I may not believe in God, but I also know you would not lie about something like this. I don’t know what to think, I just believe in you.”
(worried, scared) “Where is Obed? Please, tell me he’s okay…”
This is a role that will involve singing. A villain character with a heart. He hates Obed, and is clouded by the pain of his past. Trauma is big with this one.
(irritated) “You’re obsessed, Obed. Please, you’re the only one I know that still believes in these puppy tales. You make it your entire identity! Do something else for once.”
(scathing) “I was raised by parents of faith, you idiot. You know that. (low growl) So you also know what happened. Don’t you dare suggest I give Him a chance. I did, and He failed me.”
(shouting, trying to get Risvold’s attention urgently) “CHIEFTAIN! CHIEFTAIN! It’s Obed! He’s attacked me!”
This role will probably involve singing. Terrus is brave, serious, a fierce warrior, but has a sense of humor too.
(Being helpful, then shouting as he runs ahead of the group, going quieter when he mentions trees cant travel, then shouting again much more firm and commanding) "You're looking for the mountain? I can take you both there. We've got a long way to go, so warm up these muscles; let's make it like a tree, and get outta here... uhm trees can't actually travel, but, you get the point! Move it, before those things find us!"
(friendly, firm, final) "Come on. Let's get to your mountain.”
(very animated, punctuated, friendly) "Yea, well. I may not have liked strangers in my home, but I'm not a jerk either."
This character is the leader of Obed's pack. He is stern, firm and a good leader overall, but he doesn't care much for religion. He is not a bad guy at all. He is very lenient, and benevolent, really.
(firm) “I never took you for being violent, Obed.”
(surprise, shock) “What? What happened? Maharu, explain yourself now!”
(firm) “What on earth are you two screeching about this early in the morning?”
The main villain, in his deceptively noble, regal, "good" form. A calming adult male voice would suit him.
(kind but regal) “The perfect moment has come, Maharu. Are you sure you’re ready to do this? There won’t be any going back.”
(pleased) “Good. Your time is here. You’ll finally have the power you wanted.”
(supportive, firm) “As they should. You deserve this for what they did to you as a pup. After tonight, this will be the end of the age of God. Many people will support you… however, some will not. What will you do with them?”
The main villain, in his dark form. A shrill, cold, mean voice is perfect for him.
No official lines yet. I don't know, what would Satan say? (Don't say anything blasphemous, just give me samples)
The true form of the villain, so his voice should be chaotic and disturbing. Not the typical demonically deep, but something disturbing. Truly disturbing. If you got what it takes to pull this off, feel free to audition! True form Saneki has 7 heads, so, this will be an orchestra of confusing, evil voices, you could say.
No official lines yet. I don't know, what would Satan say? (Don't say anything blasphemous, just give me samples)
This is Obed's female bluebird friend. She doesn't speak but she could use someone who can mimic bluebird sounds, and expressively. Become borb.
*Say something you think would fit*
A supportive male character of Maharu. I am unsure at this time how big of a role he will play, but Garroth has a few lines and plays an integral part in one scene. He is a rough and tough bulky guy.
(disdain, judgmental) “You people are always pretending to be oppressed, give it up, will you?”
(through fur, mumbling, bitter, disdain) “Say goodbye, Obed.”
A minor character that is often seen bullying Obed. She will likely get a name later. She dislikes him greatly. Her personality is honestly respectful, unless it comes to those who believe in God.
(scowl, disgust) “I always knew he was trash.”
(cruel, irritated, bullying, emphasis on ‘you’) “Because of you, we had to wake up early and get to work.”
In our film's story, Tzichau is the God of the Bible, the Christian God, but the wolves call Him by another name. This is how God relates to the wolves where they are. For the voice of God, we will need someone truly profound. Are you that person? God's voice carries love, comfort, and also booming authority.
(knowing, powerful, compassionate) “What you seek is a wondrous thing.”
(calm, firm, powerful) “I will show you. There will not be a moment that I am not with you. You will return here, when the time is right. You have always been a willing servant of Mine, and I can rely on you.”
(sweet, fuzzy, warm) “Yes. I love you. I always help My children.”
Can you make sound effects for us? We'll need them. From animal noises, to paws running of surfaces, to combat sounds. We need ya.
*Say something you think would fit*
Obed's mother. A brave, strong female character that has her weaknesses but trudges through them regardless, remaining a beacon of hope to the next generation.
(serious, emphasis on ‘my’) “That’s my guess. Today will be a different day. Something is wrong… even the woods are silent. It knows.”
(angry, seething) “The devil… Demon! Get out of here now, in the mighty name of the Lord!"
(weak, dying, brave, firm, proud) “A true warrior doesn’t want an audience when they die. See you around, Delilah.”
We'll have many additional characters that need voicing, so feel free to audition to this!
*Say something you think would fit*
Obed, but puppy voice. He is a little boy in this role, so WOMEN voices are welcome.
(soft, curious, positive, emphasis on ‘us’) “Ma, why did God create us?”
(somewhat concerned, curious) “Oh. That’s good. Uncle Emran told me that God doesn’t bother with us.”
