The Spectacular Spider-Man TV series was prematurely cancelled after two seasons, running from 2008-2009. However that all changes now (kinda)! We're SpectacleStars, a relatively small but ever-growing team of writers, artists, animators, voice actors, composers, etc., making our own fan-made continuation of this beloved series!
The first major project we are working on as of now is an animatic/animated movie, The Spectacular Spider-Man: Geography 101, which takes place between the most-recent season of the series before it was cancelled (Season 2) and our own Season 3 continuation!
We currently have a few recastings for VAs open, and we are still very much in need of various other parts of production, such as Artists, Animators, Editors, Sound Designers, and more, so make sure to check out our open roles!
We will be accepting applications for Artists, Animators, Editors, Sound Designers, and any other potential non-VA production staff roles on a rolling basis, so if the project page closes or expires, feel free to DM us on here or on our Instagram as well! We'll also be rolling over the project page on here as well, more or less until the job is done!
You can find us on Discord, Instagram, Twitter, and Tiktok, so if you're curious to see what we've come up with up until now, feel free to check them out! (Our Discord server and and Insta are our most active spots for sure, though)
MOVIE SYNOPSIS
The life of our favorite webslinger is at a turning point, following the death of Norman Osborn, The Green Goblin. Spider-Man's relationship with the police has deteriorated as he is implicated in killing The Goblin, who has been publicly exposed to be Norman. Peter has to deal with Harry and Gwen together as a couple while he is completely alone. When Harry invites him and most of the students at Midtown High to a spring break trip to Miami, it seems as if he'll be able to take his mind off the situation he's in. However... trouble always has a way of finding Spidey, especially while there is a frustrated Kraven there hunting The Lizard! But is there anything more to this?
Hey all! Wanted to thank everyone who has submitted an audition thus far!
Mary Jane and Rose Thompson have been cast thus far, and we'll be picking from a select group of finalists for Liz Allan in the next few days.
We've extended the deadline one more time until October 15th before the listing expires and we will migrate it over to another iteration, so submit for any of the remaining roles if you wish to do so! Thanks again everyone!
Sorry to have to keep harping on this, we hate having to waste another update on it.
Again, to repeat, if we see a bot/spam/scammer account that is brand new and is interacting with, commenting, auditioning, or messaging our project, we WILL be flagging your account to the CCC moderators and you WILL be blocked.
To those that are ACTUALLY interested in the project, to differentiate yourself so that doesn't happen, just don't have the following traits on your audition:
1. Clearly AI-generated text (especially the oft-used phrase "2D/3D" or "2D-3D" or other variations) in the description
2. Google Drive link includes AI-generated art or stolen art
3. Telegram Link
4. Commenting on the project but not auditioning (usual tactic of this kind of account)
5. Fake endorsements on the account provided by other recently-created accounts pretending to be legitimate
Thanks to everyone who has submitted an audition thus far! We'll be extending the deadline on a rolling basis so that more people may find the project and submit auditions.
Also, as with our last listing, we're aware of many brand new CCC accounts that are interacting with the project, whether it be commenting, DMing, or auditioning.
As a rule, if we see a recently-created account auditioning or messaging us with any of the following, we'll dismiss the audition, and immediately block and report the account for scamming:
Clearly AI-generated text (especially the oft-used phrase "2D/3D") in the description
Google Drive link includes AI-generated art or stolen art
Telegram Link
Commenting on the project but not auditioning (usual tactic of this kind of account)
Fake endorsements on the account provided by other recently-created accounts pretending to be legitimate
We will not be fooled, so please stop trying. We are also in contact with CCC admins to try to get this problem solved.
Recasting due to an unforeseen departure!
Looking for a Vanessa Marshall voice match. The voice is slightly raspy and somewhat chill and almost seductive (though just a touch). She's a very cool and collected individual.
See this compilation video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nY3szJUqrgc (slightly comedic/meme-y but it'll do) for a sample of the original voice.
Also, here is the latest teaser clip of our project with the previous VA's sample for reference as well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNqXmVJK0Cc&pp=ygUOc3BlY3RhY2xlc3RhcnM%3D
We welcome auditions for both this role and Rose Thompson if you have a similar voice and want both roles since the same VA did them both originally! Would need to differentiate the voice just as she did of course.
*snickers* "Face it Tiger, you just hit the jackpot" (0:34 of this video https://youtu.be/nY3szJUqrgc?t=34)
[angry] "Pete may not be perfect! But whatever his faults, he's you'll ever be." (3:20 of this video https://youtu.be/nY3szJUqrgc?t=200)
"No! *slight sigh* I wasn't supposed to say anything, but his aunt told my aunt you're all he thinks about! That is when he actually does think." (6:28 of this video https://youtu.be/nY3szJUqrgc?t=388)
Recasting due to an unforeseen departure!!
Looking for an Alanna Ubach voice match. Slight or subtle Spanish/Latin American accent, but it's very thin.
See sample videos below for reference:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AMuKvfvsveY
"Did you hear? Everyone's going to Coney Island tomorrow...you know, to celebrate the win? Think..maybe you'll come?" (2:16 of this video https://youtu.be/AMuKvfvsveY?t=136)
"Sorry! Flash's ex, remember? I wasn't invited *slight sigh*" (5:14 of this video https://youtu.be/uOF_HEpKdnU?t=314)
"Don't worry about Spider-Man. My dad books magicians at his hotels all the time. He used to take my brother and I backstage to see how the tricks were done! It's all about misdirection. You wind up paying attention to one thing, when you should be paying attention to another!" (1:35 of this video https://youtu.be/t8Bo0GJ7GU4?t=95)
We are looking for an additional Voice Director to assist with the directing, recording, and editing of voice acting lines by our many talented VAs in our cast!
Our current Voice Director is looking for a partner to be able to delegate and offload his tasks to so that he can focus on the general Production side of things. He has less time for it nowadays and needs someone with enough experience to be able to work in his stead.
We are looking for some amount of relevant experience here. If you have only amateur voice acted BUT have some level of acting/theatre experience, that would be a plus for consideration. But actual experience directing VAs is very sought-after.
Good candidates will be able to:
Prior viewing of The Spectacular Spider-Man animated series is not required, but is certainly a big plus. If the candidate has not seen the show, they will be required to view it in order to familiarize themselves with the various returning voice types that they will be working with.
If you have any questions at all, you can DM the team account here on CCC or on Instagram!
BE SURE TO SUBMIT A MESSAGE DOWN BELOW INTRODUCING YOURSELF AND LISTING OUT YOUR EXPERIENCE AND WHAT YOU'D BE PROFICIENT AT. THANKS EVERYBODY IN ADVANCE :D
*Say something you think would fit*
Recasting due to an unforeseen departure!
Looking for a Vanessa Marshall voice match. It's slightly lower than Mary Jane, more of a mature woman voice.
See sample here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQ_8XdX8KEo
Can also draw from Hera Syndulla from Star Wars Rebels for inspiration, like this video here:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xzUXWNtVak&pp=ygUTaGVyYSBzeW5kdWxsYSB2b2ljZQ%3D%3D
We welcome auditions for both this role and Mary Jane if you have a similar voice and want both roles since the same VA did them both originally! Would need to differentiate the voice just as she did of course.
"Well of course I invited Peter, after all he's your best friend!"
“Oh please Captain, you’re overreacting.”
“Well I think it's a good idea. I for one, am not someone to look a gift horse in the mouth. If you're so concerned for your daughter's well-being, Captain, maybe you should volunteer to chaperone then!”
Similar to the Producer role posted here, but if you're an animator by trade with knowledge of animation pipelines, this role could be for you!
We are looking for someone with a background in animation and animation pipelines who could be of great help to manage the progress of our Art/Animation Department, and has the know-how to get the animation from a blank page all the way to a finished deal! Storyboards, animatic, backgrounding, layout, key animation, cleanup/in-between, digital ink and paint, compositing, you'll oversee all of these!
We have a team of 25+ artists and animators of various skillsets, and a core of about 4 Lead Artists/Lead Animators who are our bedrock in terms of expertise and input on the team.
That said, since we've been a passion project for so many years and these 4 magnificent individuals have IRL stuff to deal with, it has usually been a rotation of a few of them being present to oversee things at once.
And while all of them of them can produce breathtaking results with regards to the art and animation, we could really use another individual who is familiar with the nuances of an animation pipeline, and is able to juggle the demands with overseeing the day-to-day management of an entire team or department of artists and animators, including various tasks such as DM check-ins, progress management, holding voice chat meetings, quality assurance, etc.
Even if you are not adept with the animation style of the Spectacular Spider-Man at the moment, deferring to our veteran leads for the quality assurance portion of this role as needed is absolutely possible.
However, a MASSIVE plus here would be submitting an audition with both:
- a finished animation sample (made on a team or individually), and
- a voice message and/or list of your prior work and background experience
While this role would not be paid at the beginning, we are working to get more of our Leads' time by paying them once crowdfunding is a-go and this would be an extension of that as well.
*Say something you think would fit*
To submit an audition for this role, drop a link to your portfolio, and also include a demonstration of the Spectacular Spider-Man art style (preferably of a human character that is not Peter Parker or Spider-Man) for us to review!
Animators on our project have a variety of options when it comes to what art/animation programs they can use. Sequences will mostly be made up of animatic style scenes (image based), similar to a motion comic, with the exception of occasional animated scenes being utilized in more action-heavy sequences. Due to this, as long as you have an art program that you are accustomed to, you can join this project as an animator (provided that you are chosen) with little actual frame-by-frame animation experience, and are not required to own any industry standard software. As for FULL animation, experience with ToonBoom Harmony and ToonBoom Storyboard Pro is highly recommended but is not a requirement. Experience with Blender Grease Pencil is also highly encouraged if ToonBoom is not available to you, but once again, it is not a hard requirement. As long as the assets that are produced by our animators are able to be converted and utilized later on for the project, any program you prefer should work as long as we sort out the conversion details beforehand for consistency, flow, and Quality Assurance purposes!
Also, if any of our newcomers are unsure of how to use ToonBoom or want to learn how to use it, our lead animators can absolutely help bring them up to speed on the software and teach them the basics of it if needed as well!
We are also currently in progress on storyboarding our movie. As mentioned above, as long as you have an art program or experience with ToonBoom Storyboard Pro, you can join as a storyboarder. Additionally, if your strengths lie in traditional art, feel free to audition as a storyboarder, as a digital art program is not necessarily required to fill in the role. While we are not actively looking for concept artists, submissions once you're in the role are welcome!
For any other questions, make sure to send us a message on here or on Instagram. Thanks!!
