The Calm Before (short animation)

The Calm Before (short animation)

Project Overview

Hello! This is a casting call for several roles in a short animation I have planned and am currently preparing. The animation is 3D, will only be a few minutes long, and with the exception of a few main characters, each character will only have a few lines in this animation. I am not a professional 3D artist, so temper your expectations, please. If you want to see what I have released so far, my last two short animations are here and here. The upcoming animation this call is for will, for lack of a better description, be similar to the first animation in fluid movement and the second animation in visual quality.


For general information, the animation (as well as the two I have already done) takes place in the Warriors universe, including the location and specific Clans in the books, but will not go near the canon material. An important thing to note about this is that all my short animations (released and upcoming) have common characters - so while this call is technically only for this specific short, it would be appreciated if you stick with any character as long as I plan on releasing animations.

The overarching story behind this short, ones already completed, and any future shorts, is the journey of one character, Briareye, through his life. 

I expect to finish 2-3 weeks after all lines are submitted. Because of the relatively low number of lines for each character, I would like them turned in 1 week after being sent the script, but 2 weeks is as long as I'll wait.

Breezefoot

Unpaid
Role assigned to: shade nocturne

Fighter, rough, unrefined, but not an evil character. Preferably an adult voice, but young adults are welcome.

  • "Rockstripe, tough fighter, but I've beaten him before. I can deal with him." (reminiscing, then low voice)

  • "I'm losing my edge, I only sent two running before Snaketail called us back... The second one looked like he was about to jump in the river to get away!" (amusement)

Hawkjaw

Role assigned to: Crownie

Protective, strict, resents Snaketail. Mentor of Harepaw (role already claimed). An honorable character.

  • "Remember, RiverClan are tough to pin down, dash in and out when attacking." (teaching)

  • "And remember, there's no shame in running from a superior opponent, especially since this would be your first battle." (fretting/comforting)

Pebblepelt
open
Unpaid

Put simply, Pebblepelt's mindset is "RiverClan matters - you do not." They love the feeling of power over anyone. They are fairly loud, but rarely let anger show.


Note: I had some troubles rendering the picture. It is not representative of the final visual quality.

  • "Clean that up please. I don't want any of you tripping over anything while it's so dark." (commanding)

  • "WindClan? You must be mistaken, Snaketail. This is RiverClan territory." (confusion over such an "obvious" mistake)

  • "We can afford to send injured warriors to recover, although that trait seems to not be shared by some Clans." (predatory/gleeful)

Snaketail

Unpaid
Role assigned to: deleted5492

Snaketail is the deputy of WindClan - second in command. Despite that, he's a bit of a coward, performs poorly under pressure, and usually follows the crowd. Even so, power goes to his head easily. Like Breezefoot, preferably a more adult/mature voice, but young adults are welcome.

  • "Huh? Why? He's best let loose in a fight, I'm not getting in the way of *that*." (confused, dismissive)

  • "WindClan has always held this side of the gorge!" (loud; surprised/defensive)

  • "Briarpaw! You provoked him! Someone could have been killed!" (accusatory/nervous)

Voice Actor
Voice Actor
Stoneclaw
open
Unpaid

Stoneclaw is a new warrior, so a young adult (or perhaps an old teen) voice would fit perfectly for them. They're a worrier, and also very protective of their family. Has a nervous personality, but otherwise friendly when things aren't going wrong.

  • "Do you think Briarpaw will be alright?" (worried)

  • "Yeah, but do you think he'll move past that eventually or not?" (worried)

  • "Oh StarClan, you're bleeding, I'm hurt, EVERYONE is hurt! We should've brought more!" (freaking out)
