Hello world! It's me, UtensilYT (my account name is monsterhunter542, a terrible name convieved by younger me a few years ago), bringing you a casting call of sorts for a really big project I'm working on....
PORTAL THE ANIMATED SERIES!!!
Now, this show would be directed and written by me, however I will need some help on this monster of this project. Let me give you some basics on the project itself, however.
It will be animated in Source Filmmaker, and will ideally be two seasons and a short film, which I'll break down below (spoilers if you haven't played both games, by the way)
Season One: This season will provide some backstory on Aperture Science, and it's founder, Cave Johnson, as well as the people around him during that era, such as Carolyn and Rattmann. It will show the humble beginnings of the company, until it all goes to absolute hell as Johnson converts Carolyn to the infamous GLaDOS, and how that leads into the short film and the second season.
Short Film: Similiar to how the Fast and Furious franchise made short films to connect the events of their movies, this short film will basically chronicle the events of Portal, as Chell wakes up in a mysterious testing chamber and finds out that GLaDOS isn't what she portrays herself to be. Since Portal has a really short story, I decided that making into a short film would be better than inserting it as an episode in the second season, or making it a season of its own, like I'm doing with Portal 2. Speaking of which...
Season Two: This season will chronicle the events of Portal 2, and, honestly, that's about it. Since this is the game with the most story elements, I'm not going to explain it here [playing the game for yourself would be much better ;)], but yeah! This will be kind of the nice little knot to the whole Portal story.
So, yeah! If you couldn't tell, this is a huge project that will require a lot of work, and, most importantly, help from you guys! I'm looking for:
- SFM animators
- Voice actors
- Audio engineers
- Storyboard artists
- Researchers
The requirements for each role are detailed down below. Whilst applying for a voice acting position is simple, and basically the same as how you would do it with any other project, the other roles are a bit different.
A Google form will be provided for each of the other roles, which you will fill out accordingly. THERE IS NO NEED TO SUBMIT ANYTHING ON CCC ITSELF FOR THESE ROLES!
Since I have the standard version of CCC, I can only set the deadline to a month ahead of time. The actual deadline will be around the summer, however if we are lacking roles, the deadline will be extended a little more!
I might make a Discord server later on, so you can easily stay up to date on the progress of the project [UPDATE: Discord server created, here's the link: https://discord.gg/nVGXssP ]
I'm thinking each episode will be around 10 minutes or so, and they will uploaded to my Utensil youtube channel (nothing on there at the time of writing). All of those who participate in this project will be clearly shown in the credits!
Updates on this project will be regular, so make sure to follow so you can keep up to date!
Thank you for showing interest in my little passion project of mine! If you have any additional questions or concerns, just email me at [redacted]
