Dust and Glory Pilot episode

Project Overview

Dust and Glory is the pilot for hopefully a fully animated series. The world it takes place in is a mix between superhero and cyberpunk aesthetics. This story in particular is set in New Victoria, a high-tech metropolis reminiscent of a futuristic Las Vegas. The city is a neon-lit playground of excess and corruption, with towering skyscrapers, everything here is organized to a mind boggling extent. The series follows the adventures of Flintlock, an eccentric android who has tied his identity to being a western outlaw from old films he watched in captivity. Flintlock navigates the treacherous streets of New Victoria with a ex detective, Cowen. They try do remove a growing crime family from power. The themes of the pilot and show are based around identity and what gives it to us. The pilot hopefully blends Western motifs with modern technology in a satirical and action-packed narrative, exploring themes of identity, purpose, and the quest for personal significance in a high-stakes world.

  • Final choices.

    Thanks so much everyone for auditioning. Just from the amount of auditions I know that people are interested in this project of mine. Sorry that it has been awhile, I am doing this on my own so some personal stuff got in the way. But the roles will be assigned later today. Though only two of you can get a role, I have a lot of you guys in mind for future roles and characters that I think you would be perfect for. Thanks again. I might message some of you guys in the future about other roles if the pilot goes well.

  • Change of course

    Some plans have changed. Don't worry, all roles are still available, but due to the lack of an animator, the pilot will serve as a proof of concept and will likely end up being key frames with voice acting and sound. Thanks everyone for auditioning, even though only two of you can get the roles, I have some of you in mind for future roles in the series if the pilot is successful.

  • Auditions

    Wow. That is a lot of auditions. All of which are great, it makes me want to make 30 different Flintlocks. I will pick soon, I'm just working on the script a bit more. A mild spoiler, there are other androids like Flintlock, so if I made a project with them I will have you guys in mind.

    Also if anyone has any questions about the characters or the world, please feel free to comment or message me about them.

Flintlock is a mix of exuberant enthusiasm and erratic behavior. Their belief in their identity as a Western outlaw, influenced by the films they watched while isolated, gives them a playful and giddy demeanour, especially around those they like. Flintlock has a tendency to be clingy due to their emotional maturity and abandonment issues. Flintlock’s tone is a blend of upbeat and irreverent, often delivering lines with a whimsical, Western drawl. Their unpredictable nature and detachment can lead to both comedic and chaotic situations, reflecting a mix of youthful exuberance and emotional depth. Flintlock's personality oscillates between lighthearted antics and moments of serious contemplation, especially as they grapple with their role as a vigilante. Flintlocks journey involves learning to balance their playful nature with the gravitas required for his responsibilities, particularly influenced by their idolization of the retired detective, Cowen. Flintlock is a stark contrast to the world that has grown bitter.

I want to see how you see Flintlock. They can be what ever you see them as, a big part of their journey is figuring out who they are.

  • "Ooh, I’ve seen this part. I just killed your fellow criminals, so you run away. I look away, wait until you are really far away, then suddenly turn around and shoot you to show how badass I am."

  • "What do you mean I can’t shoot someone just because they’re bad? But if I don’t shoot them then they’ll just be a problem later on. Fine, can I at least say something cool, then let them run away?"

Cowen is a pretty generic retired/grizzled detective. Their character is still being developed so any interpretation you have, give it a go. 

As you would expect they are pretty intelligent and resourceful. Cowen is dedicated to justice and uncovering the truth. Despite their forced retirement, their sense of duty drives them to fight against crime. Despite their age he is pretty impatient. Their gender is undecided because it doesn't really matter.

If you want a more detailed look into his character take a look at his full bio. It's a bit lengthy to put on casting call, but I like detail. You can choose where he from and how unique his accent is.

  • "This is all I have left, don’t you understand! If I don’t take these guys down, then the last 6 years of my life have been worthless."

  • "You are weird, childish, naive and one of the dumbest motherfuckers I have ever met, and if it wasn’t for you, I would still be drowning myself in a bar somewhere."

There are not too many locations in the pilot. But the pilot is serving as a proof of concept, so the background should hopefully show the potential of New Victoria, and the UCE. Please leave some examples of previous work.
