The Black Marsh Hero (Elder Scrolls) Animated Movie ANIMATORS AND ARTISTS URGENTLY NEEDED *NO EXPERIENCE REQUIRED* Copy 4

Xalnir is my main character and is 18-21 throughout the entire story with a few moments of him being a child. He is an Argonian (humanoid lizard) who becomes the leader of his group after his father Talen-Jei is killed by the main enemy of this story, the Argonbane. Xalnir is selfless, caring, confident, humble, and protective. I'd prefer a relatively clear mic quality and someone who can do a child voice as well. His lines should be very smooth and velvety with no stutters unless specified in lines. *There is romance in this story with this character so I'd prefer you to be comfortable speaking in a romantic setting, however there is no incredibly sexual content* *Some lines also include a different language called Jel based in the Elder Scrolls lore, knowledge of this language is not needed nor required* *This character also gets into a relationship with another main character, it'd be best if you are comfortable speaking as if you are dating someone.*

Talen-Jei is Xalnir's biological father and a small but important part of the overall story. Talen is married to Keerava, Xalnir's biological mother. Talen is open-minded, laid back, and understanding. As an Argonian, he also must speak smooth and velvety without stuttering.

Keerava is Xalnir's biological mother. She is married to Talen-Jei. Keerava is over-protective, understanding, and fierce. She should have a relatively husky and breathy voice while still speaking in a smooth way with no stutters unless specified. *There is romance with this character but no romance scenes.* 

Alesan is Xalnir's one and only childhood friend. Alesan's backstory is as follows: Alesan and his father were on a boat when his father became sick. The crew dropped the two off in Dawnstar. A few days later his father died when he was a kid. This story explores Alesan as a young adult with only one scene with him being a recently moved kid to the Riften Orphanage so I'd prefer someone who can do a child voice as well. Alesan is humorous, young, adventurous, and accepting. *Alesan is one of the few side characters who are human*

Madesi is a major part of the story and a somewhat main character as well and Xalnir's close mentor and friend. Madesi is an Argonian and therefore must speak in a smooth and velvety tone without stuttering unless specified in lines. Madesi is honest, hardworking, independent, and kind. *There is small romance including this character but there are no romance/sexual scenes, whoever is auditioning should be comfortable with this* *Certain lines from this character are in a fictional language called Jel, knowledge of this language is not needed*

Kehla (Kehlani) is a unique Argonian with orange scales and a very educated one. Kehla is the romantic interest of Xalnir and the story's second main character. Kehla is smart, helpful, selfless, and trustworthy. Since Kehla is a unique Argonian, she speaks in a well-mannered, smart, yet informal way. Kehla should speak with a scholarly tone to her and slightly faster than the others, showing her IQ being higher than the average Argonian. *Kehla is involved in some romance/nude scenes so the person voicing her must be comfortable speaking in a manner reflecting that* *some lines are spoken in a fictional language called Jel, knowledge of this language is not required*

Derkeethus is a minor major character and skilled archer with a few lines. Derkeethus is adventurous, optimistic, loyal, independent, and warm. As an Argonian he too has to speak smoothly with no stuttering unless specified. *Derkeethus is one of the few characters to not have a romantic interest but becomes good friends with Xalnir, if voicing a romantic character doesn't suit you, Derkeethus is the role for you*

Fathom (From-Deepest-Fathoms) is a part of the main group this story focuses on. Fathom is determined, misunderstood, and helpful. As an Argonian, she should speak smoothly like the others. *Fathom is a part of a romantic relationship in this story so I'd prefer those auditioning to be comfortable with that*

Marsh (Scouts-Many-Marshes) is a member of the group the story focuses on. Marsh is calm and reserved, loyal to his people, distrustful of Nords, stoic and practical, and has support for the Argonian cause. As an Argonian, he must speak smoothly with no thinking/stuttering unless specified. *This character has a couple of scenes where he speaks a fictional language called Jel. Knowledge of this language is not requires* *Marsh is involved in a relationship in this story* *Marsh has a couple of romantic/nude scenes so please be comfortable voicing that*

Neetrenaza is another main part of the group the story focuses on. Neetrenaza is kind and helpful, optimistic and compassionate, peaceful and non-confrontational, but supportive of the Argonian people. As an Argonian he should speak smoothly and with no stuttering unless specified. *Neetrenaza is included in some romance scenes so make sure your comfortable with that* 

Deekus is a part of the main group this story focuses on and becomes good friends with another character Gulum-Ei. Deekus is originally brash, greedy, unaware, and talkative, but becomes helpful, selfless, and protective after a relatively quick burn of character development. Like always, Deekus must speak smoothly with no stuttering unless specified. *Deekus is not a part of any romance but is a part of a small bromance that takes place in this story* 

Shahvee is a part of the main group this story focuses on. Shahvee is kind, hopeful, non-confrontational, shy, and resilient. Shahvee should speak smoothly with no stuttering as well. *There is a small romantic tension with Shahvee and another character but no romance/nude scenes. Whoever is auditioning should be comfortable with that.* 

Teeba-Ei is another part of the main group this story focuses on. Teeba-Ei speaks in the third person. Teeba-Ei is hardworking, friendly, practical, caring, and loyal. As an Argonian, he must speak smoothly with no stuttering. 

Shallow (Stands-In-Shallows) is another part of the main group this story focuses on. Shallow is the oldest Argonian in the story and had a past drinking problem but fixed himself eventually. Shallow is reserved, calm, mildly cynical, loyal, and slightly mysterious. He should speak smoothly but with a small rasp showcasing his age. 

Gulum-Ei is the main group member with the least screen time in this story. Gulum-Ei becomes close friends with Deekus. Gulum-Ei is loyal, observant, stealthy, slightly sarcastic, and professional. As an Argonian, Gulum-Ei must speak smoothly with no stuttering unless specified. *Gulum-Ei is not a part of any romance but is a part of a bromance in the story*

I need at least 5 other VA's to voice the multiple side characters/extras that are going to be in this movie. I'd prefer 3 male and 2 female voices to fill these roles. With these side characters the way you speak doesn't matter so feel free to have fun with this and add your own flair/personality to some of these lines. (These voices are a mix of Argonian and human) (Some of these lines are in Jel, a fictional language you don't have to know to audition for)

I need an artist skilled in 3D design, (preferably character design), to create the models/designs for my own characters and Alesan who is only a kid in the main game to lower the workload on the animators. Most of the characters in this story are from Skyrim so their designs are easy and or not needed but designer welcome. Please link some past work/portfolio if possible. If not, provide some examples of my characters so I can determine if I want to use your final design for the movie. (Payment is based off publicity and reception of final project. If the final project does not show good publicity and positive reception, payment will not be provided. If publicity isn't good but reception is, payment will be provided on a small scale. If reception is weak but publicity is good, payment will be provided on a very small scale, but something will still be given. If both reception and publicity is good payment will be of medium scale. This is to prevent payment potentially resulting in weak quality.)

I need a 3D artist skilled in 3D design, (preferably environmental/level art/design), to help create the scenes and concept art for the animated movie. Please provide examples/a portfolio of your work or create examples of locations from the Elder Scrolls (preferably Skyrim as that is where this story mainly takes place) to help me determine the best fit. (Payment is based off publicity and reception of final project. If the final project does not show good publicity and positive reception, payment will not be provided. If publicity isn't good but reception is, payment will be provided on a small scale. If reception is weak but publicity is good, payment will be provided on a very small scale, but something will still be given. If both reception and publicity is good payment will be of medium scale. This is to prevent payment potentially resulting in weak quality.)

I need a lead animator to be the lead in animation and spread the workload evenly between animators. You should be experienced or skilled in any type of 3D animation as long as its 3D and includes color. As lead animator, I expect you to take the wheel when needed on the animation side of things and work with all the cast and crew as needed (mainly the animation side). Please provide examples/a portfolio of your work or create a battle scene between a humanoid lizard and human in any way, shape, or form you want. This is going to be a HEAVY workload for the entire animation team so I'd prefer someone who can handle that and or adapt quickly. *Please animate in at least 24 fps and or 12 fps* *Any software works as long as it is relatively smooth* (Payment is based off publicity and reception of final project. If the final project does not show good publicity and positive reception, payment will not be provided. If publicity isn't good but reception is, payment will be provided on a small scale. If reception is weak but publicity is good, payment will be provided on a very small scale, but something will still be given. If both reception and publicity is good payment will be of medium scale.

Need an animator to work with the lead animator and help with the animation workload which is most likely going to be HEAVY. You must be experienced or skilled in any type of 3D animation as long as it has color. Please provide examples/a portfolio of your work or create a simple heart-to-heart scene between 2 Argonians (humanoid lizards). *Please animate in at least 12 fps and or 24 fps* *Any software works as long as it is somewhat smooth* (Payment is based off publicity and reception of final project. If the final project does not show good publicity and positive reception, payment will not be provided. If publicity isn't good but reception is, payment will be provided on a small scale. If reception is weak but publicity is good, payment will be provided on a very small scale, but something will still be given. If both reception and publicity is good payment will be of medium scale. This is to prevent payment potentially resulting in weak quality.)

Like the original animator description, I need an animator to help aid the workload for the animation team as it is going to be HEAVY. You should be skilled in any type of 3D animation as long as it has color. Please provide past work/examples or create a simple planning scene between multiple Argonians (humanoid lizards). *Please animate in at least 12 fps and or 24 fps* (Payment is based off publicity and reception of final project. If the final project does not show good publicity and positive reception, payment will not be provided. If publicity isn't good but reception is, payment will be provided on a small scale. If reception is weak but publicity is good, payment will be provided on a very small scale, but something will still be given. If both reception and publicity is good payment will be of medium scale. This is to prevent payment potentially resulting in weak quality.)

I would like to have a video editor to edit the scenes together and create any effects me, the cast, or crew want to add. You will likely have to work with the animators to help lessen the workload on them. Please provide some videos you have edited or create a simple edit with Skyrim locations. *There is no specific video editing tool I require, your options are wide open* *This is a role that is not needed/urgent for this project but would help a lot and give someone a chance to show their talent and potentially put themselves on the map*

I need an audio engineer to create SFX for the story e.g: (swords clanging against each other, footsteps, sounds of nature, echo in certain areas, etc.) to help lessen the workload on the animation team. Please provide examples of past work or create a simple SFX pack of swords clanging against each other until the person swinging the sword successfully strikes the other. *Expect to work with the animation team on what SFX are needed* *Any audio software tool is fine to use* (Payment is based off publicity and reception of final project. If the final project does not show good publicity and positive reception, payment will not be provided. If publicity isn't good but reception is, payment will be provided on a small scale. If reception is weak but publicity is good, payment will be provided on a very small scale, but something will still be given. If both reception and publicity is good payment will be of medium scale. This is to prevent payment potentially resulting in weak quality.)

Need a co director to just help with the overall leading of this project so the workload can be split evenly between me and you and the workflow can be better. As a director, I expect you to take a leading position and check in as much as you can as the project is created. Expect to be contacted by me at any time and be able to respond decently. The co director should be able to aid, provide ideas, and provide criticism (not hate) where needed. *This role is not needed urgently* (A "interview" process is required for this role)
