Road Trip: A Fantasy Boyband Reunion

Road Trip: A Fantasy Boyband Reunion

Project Overview

The final project is going to be a single rough, simple animatic anywhere from 8-20 minutes (closer to 10, with any luck), made as a student independent project. It's meant to be both an exercise in production and proof-of-concept for a set of characters; amateurs and beginners welcome, as that's what I am. The deadline for the completed project is set for mid-June (2018).

The sooner I can receive audio files, the better; by the end of February would be preferable.



A quick summary of the script:
Two years ago, Road Trip was the biggest boyband to hit the stage; now, it’s broken apart and washed-up. Dwayne Kingbird, former secondary singer and current burger flipper, still dreams about a life with the vampiric lead singer, Justin Bishop. When his old manager asks him to perform at one last concert, Dwayne has to throw everything he has into reuniting the band if he hopes to see Justin again.

Dwayne Kingbird
open
Unpaid

Dwayne's been dubbed a "tough guy" for his aggressive mannerisms, but he's a hopeless daydreamer and idealist. Smug when achieving his goals, he also has a soft side for those he holds close (mainly his crush, Justin).

He has a tendency to sound a little louder than he intends when directly talking to someone, but has a habit of muttering and when upset goes almost silent in comparison.

  • Watch it yourself, bloodsucker.

  • You get out of that bed and join a boyband or I'm calling Chad.

  • I'm never gonna see him again...

Justin Bishop
open
Unpaid

Justin's a bit of an enigma; at times he's confident and suave, and at others he's awkward and insecure. In any case, he's always trying to put his best foot forward, even if he gets distracted easily.
He speaks at an average pace, but speeds up immensely when talking about something he's invested in and tends to stumble over his words when he's emotional.

  • Good evening Toronto! My name is Justin Bishop, and this is Road Trip.

  • No, I want to do this, it's important... it's- they'll all be disappointed if...

  • Did you say karaoke?

Lucas Vivian
open
Unpaid

Lucas is calm and collected, and has a need for order and control in his life; he's realized long ago that if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself. He has a good heart but sometimes can plan things out too much, and appreciates rules and laws.
He rarely raises his voice and addresses everything coolly, even when irritated underneath- although he might sound a bit cold.

  • I don't have the time to make any plans.

  • You really think he's gonna have the guts to keep Justin under control?

  • You were almost late.

Axel Mars
open
Unpaid

Axel is a self-dubbed realist and an everyone-else-dubbed pessimist. His gut reaction to anything is to insult it, and as a result he comes off as a bit of a snarky jerk, but he's still grateful for his friends.
His voice is tinted with an underlying layer of sarcasm and is a bit higher pitched than one might expect.

  • Go back to the burger joint and make a real living, Dwayne.

  • Thanks, missed you too.

  • They're gonna be disappointed no matter what.

Voice Actor
Chad Hill
open
Unpaid

Chad is a perpetual optimist and opportunist who drifts through life without any particular goal in mind other than working to get his closest friend, Axel, out in the real world. He has little regard for most of society's implied rules, and sometimes stated ones, such as the law.

He's consistently either peppy or nonchalant, willing to compromise and take what life throws at him.

  • Listen, you're gonna have fun. And if you don't- I'll watch Camp Terrorfright 18 with you.

  • What's all this for? Oh, right, it's for you, from me.

  • I woke up this morning alone. Also on the street. But, you know, the little things.

Robin's the band's former manager. She's levelheaded and is mostly just trying to work out what works and what doesn't.

  • Sweet. I'm gonna need you to get Axel for me, though.

Dwayne's Manager

An antagonizing force to Dwayne, his manager is scornful and easily irritated.

  • You got a voice, kid, but you sure can't cook bacon.

The coffeehouse owner is calm, friendly, and patient, but also panicked easily if anyone questions those traits.

This character confronts Dwayne and is rather smugly antagonistic.
