The Alices Project Virtual Idol Group (LOOKING FOR COMPOSERS & ANIMATORS)
Project Overview
THE STORY
Welcome to Mystic Key Promotion! Home to many actors, talents, and more, the only area they've no tackled is idols. With the help of former idol Haruka Iikubo, producer Jun Kobayashi sets out to find seven girls who have something to prove.
INTRODUCTION
Hi everyone! I'm Ryna, the creator of The Alices. The Alices is the first in a line of virtual idol groups (all under the name "The Alices Project"). The first series focuses on seven girls who are entering the idol industry completely blind or join the group as a new challenge. This project takes inspiration from groups such as Interlunium, Legacy, and more recently Abyss. In addition to original music, The Alices Project will feature 10-15 minute episodic skits, 3-5 minute mini-skits, and more. Musically, we are aiming for a very diverse sound with the sub-units primarily sticking to one sound.
STAFF AUDITION
To assist with the project, we will need a variety of staff assistance. This includes but is not limited to artists, composers, translators, writers, animators.
At the moment, we are in dire need of more composers & animators!
For composers, we’re looking someone who can help create short BGM pieces to be used in skits and episodes as well as those who are capable of creating 3-5 minute singable pieces. The BGM will be in a variety of moods while the singable compositions are preferred to be upbeat pop and Japanese EDM, rock, and more.
For animators, we are searching for help with chorus battle style animation. A great example would be the groups we take inspiration from such as Abyss, Interlunium, and Legacy. Animators would help with creating the CMs & music videos needed to make the project come to life!
With that said, we are also looking for audio mixers and graphic artists. Audio mixers will help with voice acting mixes as well as our official music releases. Graphic artists will be in charge of designing our character profile imagery as well as redesigning the logos to make them higher quality and more attractive to the eye.
