Pre-Show Rituals [UNPAID] [STUDENT FILM]

Project Overview

Disclaimer: Over 16's to audition only, please. This is an unpaid student film project. ⚠️

About:

University final film for my Animation BA Hons degree.

A short film, 4.5 minutes long, but mostly a musical montage- not very many speaking lines (Definitely less than a page for each character). 2D animated with character rigs using Toon Boom Harmony.

Synopsis:

Horror-Punk band Roadkill are about to headline their first show, and to ensure a flawless set, each member is given a simple task to be completed before the show starts. But, just their luck, a series of unpredictable events threatens their 30-minute deadline.

Auditions:

Auditions from Jan 28th - Feb 5th (12PM GMT). You will be personally messaged after the deadline if you are or aren't successful. Those who are will join a Discord server for the film's production and we'll get to work from there

If you're interested in following the development of this film, follow the links to my social media in the following link, or in my profile and support me wherever you find me!: https://linktr.ee/Koopacake

Latest Updates

  • That's a wrap! What's to come?

    I want to say a MASSIVE thank you to EVERYONE who has applied. This project means a lot to me, and I didn't expect so many people to take interest!

    Now that the deadline has come up, I will be taking the next few days to listen to everyone's submissions and carefully consider the final voices. I will be messaging everyone here on CCC on whether or not they have been chosen- but please know you all did a fantastic job.

    For those who will get the role, as stated in the description of this project, I will invite you to my discord server for the film where you can see it's progress, and more importantly, where we will be communicating to get the script for this film recorded and ready! The deadline for the whole film is May the 20th and a majority of that will be spent animating so let's do our best to keep things rolling smoothly and at a good pace (within the limits of our daily lives, of course).

    Thank you again and I will be in touch soon 🖤🤘

Role assigned to: Mazie Voss

[For this role I want to prioritize the opportunity for a transfem VA, but anyone has a chance]

Role:

The most speaking lines in the short.

She is the driving force of the plot, sending the band off on their "hero's journey".

Character:

Transgender female in her early 20's. 

Bassist and band manager of Roadkill. Performs witchcraft in her spare time.

A pragmatic woman. Nice but not kind. Her true nature is bitter and malicious, but she masks it well, so she naturally sounds calm, professional and a little charming as this gets her what she wants/needs.

Voice:

Huskier, low tone. Older sounding, despite her age.

Inspirations: Brody Dalle, Emily Haines, Courtney Love.

  • We’re good, guys. Very good. But this is our first time headlining, and any screw-up will mean the difference between [sweetly] a record deal… [darkly] or humiliating obscurity.

  • Once we’re ready to go on, [smiling] I’ll break the curse.

  • And if any of you are even a minute late… [darkly] You can make up for it by being my live potion testers.

Role assigned to: Jsaking11

Role:

The least amount of lines in the short.

In order to go on vocal rest his mouth is sewn shut, and the remainder of his lines are various "mmm"s (saying the lines in brackets through a closed mouth).

Character:

Male in his early 20's.

Frontman of Roadkill. Zombie and technically a serial killer.

A depressed, callous man. Short tempered. Reserves most of his energy for his outbursts, so most of the time, he seems rather uncaring.

Voice:

Low or deep tone. Dead inside. Deadpan, monotone, lazy.

Inspirations: Bert Mccracken, Ryan Ross, Kuro (Servamp), Jyugo (Nanbaka), Daniil (Pathologic)

Role assigned to: Reed Denney

Role:

2nd most amount of speaking lines.

As the charismatic one, he's made to go and mingle with fans.

Character:

Male in his early 20's.

Lead guitarist of Roadkill. Demon in a young man's body.

The fun one. Hyper, charismatic, flirty and cool. Vey confident in himself. The friendliest of the band (but that isn't a very high bar). Is always up for anything if it's fun but that energy disappears when made to do actual work.

Voice:

Higher male voice. Excitable and often smiling.

Inspiration: Tom Delonge, Dan Avidan, Corey Riffin (Grojband).

A very slight, echoey voice effect will be added to his voice in post (think Queen Chrysalis from MLP season 2).

  • [mocking sympathy] Oh, It’s not your fault, [snide] drummers are just predisposed to being the least popular, *chuckle*.

  • [Pumped] Aw, you two look awesome! Ready for the show tonight?

  • [awkward/ faux casual] Silly me! I think I forgot to tune my guitar!... I’ll just-

Role assigned to: 🍄Chan🍄

Role:

3rd most/2nd least speaking lines.

She's tasked to grab some supplies at the store.

Character:

Female in her late teens (young adult).

Drummer of Roadkill. Frankenstein's monster-like cyborg.

A passionate oddball. Kinda dumb, but has hyper specific knowledge in her interests: music and geek culture. Her nerdiness is a contrast to her more feminine traits. Flirty, confident, ditzy but very aggressive and easy to provoke.

Voice:

Higher pitched but not squeaky. Light and Airy when calm but yells more often than not, which is shrill.

Inspiration: Sam (Totally Spies season 1), Brittany S.Pierce (Glee season 1 & 2), Karen Smith (Mean Girls)
