Rage Bait

Rage Bait

Project Overview

"Rage Bait" is an approximately 2 minute long 2D hand-drawn short film set in ambiguously medieval times about two men fishing together.

One, Cassian, believes the other, Erik, is somehow trying to sabotage him and his reputation, when in reality Erik just really wants to spend time with him and is making sweet little advances.

Death Note inspired dialogue dynamic X Brokeback Mountain setup but without the tragic ending - this one ends nice and happy.

Paid roles on a student budget.

PLEASE NOTE THAT APPLICANTS MUST:

  • be at least 20 years of age

  • have their own high quality/professional recording equipment

  • Project wrap-up

    Hello hello! First off, thank you so so so so much to everyone who submitted an audition for this project!! I listened to every single one of them at LEAST twice and and was just completely blown away by everyone's passion and enthusiasm and the sheer amount of skill - especially as someone who doesn't do much voice work. I still can't believe how many submissions it received throughout the short span of time since I posted it, and from the bottom of my heart I am so grateful for everyone and their interest in being a part of my thesis film, I can't begin to say how much I appreciate it.

    I seriously wish I could have something for all of you if only the scope of the project could be bigger, but unfortunately it had to be narrowed down quite a bit. Both roles are now closed as I need to soon move forward with the production pipeline in correspondence with the mandated schedule I have to follow, but I couldn't have asked for a better experience as a first-time user of this platform and discovering the skill you all have was just amazing. If ever there's another project I pursue in the future CCC will be my first stop in searching for voice talent and I hope to hear from you again!!

    Thank you all again for all your time and interest, and wishing everyone the best with their endeavours!!

Role assigned to: TrevZed

Cassian is entirely based off Brad Swaile's performance as Light Yagami in the english dub of Death Note. I'm looking for someone who is as close as possible to both his voice tone as well as delivery/overall cadence, especially when it comes to internal monologue parts (think that cafe scene where L has Light decipher the "L did you know shinigami love apples" photos).

Cassian is trying to appear as amicable and normal as possible to Erik, but really he's on his highest guard and his foolish paranoia has him believing his fishing downfall is being prayed upon.

  • (internal monologue. very annoyed, deliberating back and forth with himself) DAMN HIM! Showing me up like that…! No—this must be a trick. He’s tricking me. Why should I accept anything from him?

  • (aloud. faking being grateful and sincere) Wow, thanks! You’re really good at this.

  • (internal monologue. seething but contained) Look at that perfect knot he tied with his perfect hands. Arrogant bastard. Surely this is the perfect ego-boost for him.

Erik, as you may be able to see from his design, is basically just Mads Mikkelsen lol. I would love someone as close as possible to that calm, warmth, and sincerity he has as well as the Danish accent.
Opposite of Cassian, Erik is completely normal and there for a good time (he also happens to be a better angler). He wants to get closer to Cassian and isn't afraid to show his interest - which Cassian repeatedly fails to pick up on.

  • (humbly shrugging off compliment, reminisces fondly) Oh no, it’s not much. My dad used to take me out on the lake when I was younger.

  • (after they both get yanked into water, trying to make Cassian laugh even a little) Haha wow, what are they feeding these things??
