Pilot Episode - Reflections
Project Overview
Preface - Most of the Voice Actors have previously been selected. This is mostly a call for Technical Casting
Premise of Reflection - Synopsis
A young child is stolen from her home by monsters. Through a series of unlikely events, the monster duo Sykkin and Dakkar end up caring for her. But there's more than just caring for a baby at stake here. A monster will find within himself fragments of humanity. And a human girl will discover the monstrous side within herself. Perhaps... within all of us.
I'd like to maintain communication through Discord, though I am open to other alternatives.
Now, the project itself. Titled Reflection. The goal is for the pilot episode to be between 20-40minutes. 2D animation is what I am expecting, but if 3D becomes a possibility, we will work with that.
The premise of the story, or at least the pilot, is that a young girl is taken from her home by monsters. And through a series of unlikely events, those same monsters end up being the ones stuck with raising her. The pilot will focus on the events of the monsters going on a 'manhunt', and how the leader of this monster pack, Sykkin, finds just a sliver of humanity within himself. He takes this child back to the Dome (the monster's home) and presents the child to the Queen. Naturally, this breaks all tradition and she is not pleased with his choices. But the Queen respects Sykkin enough to let him live, and instead banishes him and the child, leaving Sykkin forced to raise a human child, and without a clue on how to do so.
I have some art to work with alongside the Artist and Animator, but your input is very important to me.
Credit will be given to all contributors, and the pilot video will probably debut on YouTube unless an alternative service proves more beneficial for working towards the overall project's success. Once the project reaches an adequate level, I will make an effort to pitch the project and hopefully have it picked up for a larger platform.
If there are questions, concerns, or comments, I am open to discussion.
Again, thank you. I am excited to start the ball rolling and work with an exciting team.

I'm looking to bring this project to a presentable level and then pitch it to a studio. I hope that this pilot episode will find success and I will be able to write and create further animated episodes. If you are an agent or producer, I'd love to connect with you to make this happen.

- Queen
* Manner of Speaking *
She speaks high and mighty, unopposed. This is a voice one does not question, nor hesitate to obey.
Remember, these characters are monsters. I leave it to you to decide how to reflect that in your vocal audition.
* Character Details *
The Queen exudes an air of authority and perfection. Her decisions are calculated, and driven by a commitment to maintaining order and enforcing the traditions that define Rychonen society. Beneath the composed exterior, there lies a deep passion for the survival and dominance of her species. The Queen, a commanding and majestic figure, embodies authority and power among the Rychonen. Her presence evokes both fear and reverence, setting the tone for the pack's way of life.

{Dissatisfied] You served me faithfully. Without error or failure. But today, you didn't just fail me. Failure could be redeemed. You have turned your back on the ancestors. Which is worse. Much much worse.
[Stern but Calm] Now comes Judgment.
[Perplexed, but in pain] You betray me... without a hint of remorse. How cold.
I'm looking for volunteers willing to help do some animation for this project. If possible, I'd also like to learn from you since it is something I'd like to learn how to do.
*Say something you think would fit*
I am looking for someone willing to manage audio effects and recording files. The job will be to cut and stitch files together in an appealing way while working with the artist/animator. Audio includes dialogue and SFX.
*Say something you think would fit*
I have a few ideas on the designs and representations of these characters, but I am looking for someone that I can toss ideas back and forth with- and someone who will bring a fresh creative take to the table and who isn't afraid to put forth their ideas on what designs could be.
For a submission, I'm not looking for previous completed work. My request is that you submit a drawing (on the platform of your choice) of a monster eye. Drawing or painting or electronic work. This submission will not be used without your express, specific permission.
Thank you!
