The mother and father of a kind but shy 15-year-old boy named Kurai Kato were taken in front of him by a mysterious force. Kurai, believing they are dead, tries to intervene but is cursed by the aftermath of these attacks by Torikkusuta, the spirit of deception, whose spell subjects Kurai to have a disability to perceive what is real and what is fake. He is then taken by a mysterious figure from his past who brings him to the United States where he will be kept safe, and begins to start a new life in school, but seeing how school is filled with other people’s perspectives, Kurai must fight to learn who is really on his side as Torikkusuta tracks down Kurai to fully corrupt his soul in a world of false allies and shadowy figures in Kurai’s life.
I do NOT know how to animate yet I'm developing an animated series LOL
Hey guys! I'm Noah Biondi and I'm working on a new anime series called Tamashī no Giman (Deception of the Soul) is an original thriller animated series. It will have the exact same style, feel, and visual representation as an anime; almost as if it was actually made in Japan. However, since I don't actually live in Japan it's technically not an anime... whatever.
I'm on the lookout for people willing to apply for the cast and crew of season 1 of the series, and if all turns out well and everyone likes it and wants to continue, I'll enroll us for some more seasons! And who knows, if you guys like collaborating with me, we could work on even more projects!
Anyone is able to join, and in order to plan things out I will have a Discord server open for discussion, ideas, planning, and just hanging out!
I am looking for people who are passionate about animation and voice acting, and are willing to work FOR FREE. My series is not budgeted; I don't have the money for fancy-schmancy equipment so if everyone pitches in, that would be awesome! Because of COVID-19 we'll have to do production remotely, which is fine. I'm an introvert myself, and I don't really feel like getting together with a bunch of strangers.
Tell everyone you know about Tamashī no Giman!
DEADLINES AND AUDITIONS
The deadline for auditions is January 3, 2021. That's plenty of time, don't worry. I'll extend this deadline if not enough people sign up for a specific field.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Expect a very warm welcome by me and the rest of the crew already on board with the series. We are very kind and love to socialize and accepting of everyone! We'll talk plenty of production and process and stuff like that, but... we'll also talk casually during our downtime! I'll be available whenever you need, don't worry. If you feel overwhelmed or stressed out during production, I'll be accepting and understanding.
We communicate through Discord. If you are unfamiliar with Discord, you can still audition, don't worry! Just create a Discord account to communicate with us.
WHAT WE ASK OF YOU
1. Have fun. This will only be an enjoyable experience if we're all enjoying ourselves and our company. Bringing together talent from tons of different people is an awesome idea, and an even more awesome thing is if we're all enjoying ourselves.
2. When it comes to recording, we preferably suggest a microphone or clean recording. You don't need fancy-schmancy microphones or audio equipment or anything like that, just as long as the recording is clean and clear, we're all fine. Don't add any effects to your voice, we'll leave that to the sound design. Again, submit your audio files to ([redacted]) via .wav or .mp3 file as one individual file. Re-dos will be offered if I feel the recording is not done well or if I think it could be improved.
3. Since I am doing multiple seasons, please stick around. If you are unable or are taken out by emergency, that's totally okay. If I feel multiple seasons will be too much of a hassle, I'll scrap it entirely, though I am hoping for at least 3 seasons.
4. Be passionate and willing to help out with the series.
WHO AM I?
I am Noah Biondi (AKA The Nandolorian on my YouTube channel), and I am willing to create content and tell stories in powerful and entertaining ways. Creating different things and collaborating with many different passionate actors, animators, and filmmakers will be a great way to expand my ability of filmmaking knowledge.
