SefirA - Animatic
Project Overview
Q: What is this? Why is this?
A: SefirA is an original project made entirely by me! My goal was to make a 5-minute (approx) animatic of it so I can be able to present my idea to the world and see what others will think of it, because I did want it to be a real TV series one day. Or a movie. Or both!
I will post the finished video on my YouTube channel here: https://youtube.com/channel/UCr61qRbDSXvxXhd481EqnnA?si=-HbuKQB5GduZak66
Q: What is the plot of the video?
A: The student council members of Sefirot Academy make a "normal" livestream to welcome new students by talking about things they want them to know and discussing their plans for the academy - which happens to be falling apart - and also introducing themselves to the viewers.
More Information
The plot mainly involves the privileged student council of a prestigious private boys’ high school in Anaheim, California called "Sefirot Academy" ("SefirA" for short) solving problems around the school before they graduate next year, which may be as small as helping a student get groceries for home economics or as big as investigating a haunted, abandoned secret cellar.
On the other side of the coin, we have the S12 - a group of equally privileged (if not more or less) 12 students of different years and districts selected by the headmaster with the help of various school faculty based on how well they can represent the school!
These students have various perks and have the duty of developing ways to make school life more exciting for their peers - with the help of the student council (two of which happen to be part of S12, Michael and Hansel).

Allow me to tell you a story of an angel - an angel whose wings were cut off, no longer remembering who he is.
The story has reached its end. Until next time.

Name Pronunciation: Mai-Kl Hall-sk (how he pronounces it)
Voice Instructions: Michael normally has a relaxed and confident tone that gives off stability when he seems to be needed (e.g. student council announcements). Other than that, however, he always his voice to become (more) silly and / or dramatic.

The dog died!
I'm really excited to talk with you all again soon. Goodbye!
The 16-years-old telekinetic member of the S12, being the 2nd member.
Oz Leviev is the type to always speak his mind no matter what and doesn't bow to no one, not even his seniors... unless they're family and friends (not that he has a lot). His favorite English words are the ones with "shit" in them. He has a lot of "odd" habits, but probably means well.
Oz likes being one with nature, solving mysteries, sandwiches, and Matroskin and Sharik.
He despises math. A main character.
Name Pronunciation: Oz Le-VEE-ev
Voice Instructions: A Russian with a deep voice that can be expressive with a gradually increase in speed, which typically happens when he's feeling a strong emotion against something... or someone (Michael); otherwise, he talks in a monotonous voice.
It is recommended to also apply for the Narrator if you're applying for this role so they have similar voices.

This is bullshit. YOU are bullshit.
Huh. I didn't think you'd murder a dog in front of us, Michael...
The 16-years-old 9th S12 member, Miihi Zakharova. He's great at math to the extent he became a tutor at SefirA for money to fund his hobbies without needing to rely on his dad.
Miihi likes anime and manga and enjoys drawing in his spare time so he can make one himself. He wants to go to Japan one day.
He's well-spoken and thinks things rationally, but also has a playful side to him, doing and saying things that would be considered "testing" people. He thinks of himself as a good friend. A main character.

Leo can get along with pretty much everyone, but he isn't friends with everyone. A main character.

Voice Instructions: American accent works good as that what he mainly uses, being in America. But sometimes, his Australian accent slips out, such as when he's weirded out or surprised.
