Deadline Closed
And with that, the deadline for "Smackamaisy" is now closed. I will now go over each submission and see who will get cast and who won't. Thanks to everyone who auditioned.
Smackamaisy
Project Overview
Hey, everyone, and welcome to another casting call! The unpaid, sort-of-long-term project that I’m doing will be surprising to everyone, especially to those who are familiar with a certain animated project that came out a month ago. What I’m doing is a storyboard parody of the recently-released Lackadaisy pilot, which has garnered 7.9 million views since its March 29th release on YouTube. Honestly, there’s not much I can say about the pilot that hasn’t already been said. All I can say is that the Lackadaisy pilot is a fantastic piece of animation, and it's very well made. I really love the way it is written. It really feels touching. The way you see characters doing bad things and still love them, without feeling like you have to ignore their bad doings. It's heartbreaking, haunting and beautiful.
And now, a month later, I've been watching the pilot so many times that I couldn’t even count. It inspired me so much that I decided to poke fun at the beloved pilot. And thus, “Smackamaisy” was born. The script was finished exactly a month after the pilot’s success, and the premise is similar to the original, except that it swaps the weapons for custard pies and raspberry jam, has historical anachronisms, features exaggerated spoofs of the central characters, and has references to other indie animation projects such as Murder Drones.
Sounds like fun, right? Well, I certainly think so. I’m looking forward to getting the short film finished and released hopefully on YouTube in November. Now, with all that said, here are a few rules to keep you in mind:
- Be sure to have a good quality microphone. Make sure that there is NO background noise when you record your lines.
- When you get cast for a certain character, the script will be delivered to you right after so that I can have you look over the script itself. Then, I will give you instructions on what to do next with the character you’re voicing as well as a deadline.
- Always have a Discord ID with you, that way we can keep in contact with each other.
- Be sure to take your time with the lines you're recording. Feel free to take a break, take deep breaths, and drink some water. You don't have to rush anything.
- Always be kind and respectful to each other.
- Just be yourself and have fun with these characters. We’re allowed to have a good time.
The deadline for “Smackamaisy” will be on May 31st, 2023. After the deadline closes at 12:00 a.m., I will go ahead and choose which ones will be cast so that we can all go to work. I’m looking forward to working with you all and let’s hope for a fun, exciting spoof. Take care and stay safe!
