The Sadness Series

The Sadness Series

Project Overview

Welcome to The Sadness Series.
The Sadness Series follows the story of 3 people explaining their tales of heartbreak, whether it be the loss of a loved one, a harsh break-up or dealing with a handicap or serious illness.




  • The Sadness Series was an original concept idea created by myself with the intent to  take the feelings felt by real life people, and share them with the public with total anonymity. This gives people an extra sense of emotion and a sense of being in that persons shoes.




  • The voice actors given this position will be paired to their chosen story, and heir voice dubs will be placed over a stunning visual short film to accompany the story telling process.



Each character will be voicing a short length video 

(5-10 mins) 

 Voice Actors will be paid, since this project is long and will take hard work from those casted.

- Willing To Complete Work To A High Standard, And Be Accepting To Constructive Criticism.

- Able To Work With Me And Keep In Regular Contact If Need Be.

- Crystal Clear Microphone Is Prefered.


(Voice Actors will be casted close to the end date)

Latest Updates

  • Filming and post production

    Due to the lengthy process of editing and filming, we will be casting a person each week starting from the 1st of December. This will give us time to continue to steadily work on this project and make sure that it's complete to the fullest of our abilities. We will also be taking time off over the holiday period (for obvious reason) and if casted we do not expect you to work from the 20th of December - the end of the month. Thank you and happy holidays in advance from me and the behind the scenes team.
  • Partnership

    As of yesterday afternoon, one of my friends in the industry has reached out to a number of film companies to seek additional equipment/studio access for edition and green screen filming. We are now happy to announce our partnership with Monster and Bear (Check them out here: http://www.monsterandbear.com.au)

  • It was great to be out again but the thought keeps crossing my mind, Where is she now.I can't keep living like i have no purpose, I need to find something to fill the hole - or someone, My foot scrapped across the pavement, drawing the attention of one of my friends onto me. He's known me for a while, he knows somethings wrong.

  • I couldn't help by roll over and pretend my phone wasn't there, I pressed my face hard into the pillow as i try to unintentionally choke myself. The Anxiety gets to me, I open up my eyes and reach for the phone. Pausing before I say anything.

Rebbeca's Story (Story Number 2)
The Backstory:
Rebecca was fresh graduate straight out of university, she had completed her arts course at the age of 22 and was keen to travel through the country experiencing all the different lifestyles, and capturing that on her camera for a new showcase she had planned to release to gain publicity as a photographer. She gathered 4 of her friends out of university and high school and went on a road trip visiting the various country towns nearby first, to get a grasp of the type of her work she had planned to do. 

Of a young age her parents had kicked her out of home and she was forced to stay with friends, the same very friends that are helping her travel and pursue her passion for photography. 
her friends were everything to her, and without them Rebecca would never be where she is now.

The Story:
After visiting a couple of local country towns, Rebecca is beginning to understand the work she is doing and grasping the theme around her showcase. Although it hasn't been the highlight of her adventures so far, her friends and the funny remarks make the long drives somewhat bearable until the nearest stop, where it's stop, shoot and repeat until the next town.


The long drives are a killer, but the girls have set up a routine of swapping drivers regularly so everybody gets at least a little bit of rest. It was the night Rebecca was driving, it had been a long day of shooting in the heat and the exhaustion had gotten to her. As she was driving down the unlit, quiet country road her eyes started to slowly drift closed and before long she had drifted off to sleep behind the wheel.

Rebecca snapped back awake after hearing a horn honking furiously, but it was already to late for her to get out of the way of the other vehicles path.

She crashes into the oncoming car.

Unconscious and unknowing of what had just happened, her eyes slowly open, looking up into the bright sky to hear birds chirping and and the trees rustling with the wind.

She closes her eyes.

  • I couldn't help myself, these guys are my family. Inviting them to help me take some photos was just an excuse to spend more time with them, honestly since we've all finished school and uni we never see each other anymore.

  • Watching the birds live together in harmony in that tree was something. It gave off a sense of awe and amazement that two totally opposite birds a hawk and a sparrow could get along so graciously, This is why i became a photographer, it's moments like this that can bring power and meaning. Sometimes change the world.

  • Improvise a line based upon the description of the character, I need to hear your ability to emulate the characters emotions and be able to adapt to fit her role.

Daniel's Story (Story Number 3)
The Backstory:
Daniel was on his last day in his home country, he had been posted to go to Iraq and fight. He spent the last day with his loving wife, under the shade of a tree looking up into the sky embracing the fact that this may be the last time that they see each other. Hand in hand they talk for numerous hours about the things they're going to miss and the first thing they would do when Daniel returns.

Daniel wakes up early the next morning, careful not to awaken his sleeping wife, with a swift kiss onto the forehead he gets changed into his military fatigues and walks through the front door and to the car, to begin his work overseas.

As he drives along he looks down at his finger for a moment and removes his wedding ring, placing it into his front pocket and continues to drive. 

The Story:
12 months go by, after sending letter after letter finally Daniel is coming home. He arrives at the airport expecting a welcome from his beloved wife, but nothing. He begins to become impatient and catches a taxi to his old home, his new home. As he walks out of the cab and towards the door his heart beating from anxiety, fixing himself to look presentable, he steps up to the door and takes a deep breath in, and out.

Daniel knocks on the door, His wife opens the door. Daniel stands at the front door hat in hand, and tries to say hello but words wont come out, he bows his head as tears slowly drift down his cheek. Daniel had lost his leg, he hadn't told anybody. His wife dropped to the floor in tears, as Daniel stood over her, stumbling to pick her up from the ground. Around the corner from inside the house walks a half naked man.

Daniel in total disbelief, runs down the road away from the house, his wife still sitting on the ground in tears. He tries to run faster and faster limping heavily. Until, he stumbles to the ground and just sits there looking into the sky,  remembering the time before he left. He reaches into his front pocket and throws his wedding ring into the bushes.

he closes his eyes.

Daniels sits in his chair in total darkness, still wearing his military fatigues, on the table in front of him a bottle of jack Daniels and some pills, he reaches for the pills and the bottle shoving a handful into his mouth and taking a big long swig of the bottle.

The Bottle falls to the floor and smashes.

  • That cloud there reminded me of us, dancing on our wedding night [Soft, little chuckle] That was one the the greatest nights of my life, and even when i'm dead. I'm going to remember that night and live that night over and over again.

  • I don't know what i'm doing, but all my mind is telling me is to run, run far far away until you get so far you forget what you're running from.
