The Last of Us Part II: Prologue

The Last of Us Part II: Prologue

Project Overview

BACKGROUND: 




I’m currently working on a few projects both old and new but recently found the time to put together some footage for a short video I’ve wanted to work on for awhile  


even before Part II was officially announced. Since the sequel isn’t that far from reach now I figure it’s the perfect time to finalize it and put it out there. That being said this project is a one time deal and is not part of a larger series. I expect it to be maybe five to ten minutes in length at the least. For now only one role is required since I’ll also be incorporating unused audio files from the first game to mix together new bits of dialogue. 




REQUIREMENTS: 




Auditions must be female with an age range of 20-30. A decent mic is definitely preferable so as not to conflict too much with the quality of the in game dialogue. 




PLOT:




The intro scene I’m casting for will be done in the POV of a man sitting on a couch and drinking a bottle of whiskey. In the background plays a radio broadcast of rioting happening in Austin. This is meant to be a flashback of Joel’s life before the outbreak but the viewer isn’t going to know this right from the beginning. Joel’s wife walks in carrying groceries and talks about the blackout that’s just hit the area, hence the news reports. She sees Joel drinking the bottle and tries to berate him for his alcoholism and how distant he’s been recently. When she comes closer into view Joel sees that’s she’s covered in what looks like dirt and blood, a look of dread comes over her face before she says his name and tells him he needs to “protect her.” The voice of his wife fades into Ellie’s trying to wake Joel up to take him to Noah, a skilled hunter helping them navigate their way north to another settlement. 




HOW IS THIS BEING MADE?: 




Using the PC version of GTA V along with a ton of mods, including graphical, and editing software. Below is a screenshot from the project that utilizes much of the aforementioned enhancements:

COMPENSATION: 




This is NOT a paid role HOWEVER your name will be prominently showcased in the credits and the the video’s description along with any affiliated links you’d like plugged for what it’s worth.

Role assigned to: Cari Scholtens

This is the part of Joel's wife, Ella, whose history with Joel has been left somewhat of an enigma in the overall story but I think is worth exploring at least in the form of a dream to offer a little more insight into Joel's character. My interpretation of her is entirely my own and is in no way based off of what Naughty Dog may have in store for her in future iterations of the game. 


This particular scene is set in Joel's first apartment. Ella arrives home from a trip to the grocery store. She sounds overwhelmed and exhausted as she sets down her keys and begins to put away groceries. Her tone should shift sharply to frustration as soon as she glances at Joel sitting on the couch and taking generous sips from a bottle of whiskey, like this is a  problem Joel has dealt with throughout their relationship. Line 2 should be spoken as if you were face to face with him instead of across the room as this will be the point where it begins to dawn on the viewer that this isn't reality and instead a terrible nightmare he's about to wake from. This line should be conveyed in a more desperate tone. 





  • Really? Aren't you getting sick of hearing about this? ...You should've seen Kroger's, you'd think the world was ending with how little there was... One blackout. I guess that's all it takes for people to lose their damn minds. Hope you like potato brea-... Are you kidding me right now? You said you'd stop... Can you just tell me what's... Listen, I know you're hurt but I can't keep doing this. I won’t go back to that, Joel, I just won’t... I know things are fucked up now but please... 

  • Baby... baby, look... I need you to protect her... the same way you couldn't protect me... Joel? Joel?!
