Underground [GTA V Machinima Series]

Project Overview

Underground is a long term Machinima series built in GTA V, it follows the story of Khail, a small time street racer who has never lost a race in his small town where the scene is small and the skill of his competition is limited.


It all changes when a racer from out of town arrives. Convinced that he will make short work of the racer, he puts his car on the line, and loses.

His self image is shattered and the reality that he isn't the best comes crashing down on top of him. He makes the decision to travel to a foreign city to earn back his car, his reputation and his pride, but when he arrives he learns that the pond is much bigger, the cars are faster, the police are fierce but the competition is fiercer, and to get the rematch he wants so badly, he has to beat everyone and climb the ladder, but he can't do it alone.

This story will have everything from car crashes, to gun fights to romance, and my tech used to make the story is ever expanding

--------------------

The series is episodic and inspired by the structure played out in a previously created series known as Liberty Speed, by Midnight Club, and will be posted on YouTube alongside it

-------------------
Some info

Number of Episodes: 12

Episode length: 5-10 Minutes

Dialogue requirements: depends on the episode, some scenes are very dialogue heavy while others are all action.

Genre: Action 

-------------------

Timeframe and deadlines

The project as it stands is nearly half filmed, and only needs voice over for the final edit, it will be published at the beginning of October and in 3 day increments to a week from then on, with the final episode showing in December some time

For voice actors, I hope this means less stress in chasing deadlines, especially since not every character is featured in every episode.

------------------
The series is in the process of developing more characters, so the list is subject to additions, but nothing on the list already will change or be removed.

A trailer/casting call video is on its way soon as well
------------------

This film has great potential to be a story many may follow, as they did in the days of Liberty Speed, and with the constantly evolving technology fo GTA film makers, it's only set to improve, become bigger, the story may expand into other cities in the GTA universe, and grow with it.

Latest Updates

  • Finalisation

    Hey everyone, things have been going absolutely great, lots of interest and auditions for the project, and for that, I thank all of you. All of the audition clips that have been submitted have been incredible, you are all very talented and passionate people, and it shows, it really does. The scripts for the first episodes are going through a final edit and I thought it may be time to start finalising a few roles for characters and getting to know the cast, which brings me to a question, seeing as this is my first time working with a voice cast. what is the best way to communicate with the cast about the project, just to keep in contact, discuss character, plot, changes, developments and what not, as that will be very important when the time comes. A few people recommended Discord, and even good old fashioned mailing lists via email. or google hangouts. I'm just really curious, and in search of the best possible way to keep in contact that will benefit the cast. Deadlines have not been set yet, but will likely be within 2-3 weeks of the script being sent out per episode, is that enough time? that's all from me in this update guys and gals, you're all awesome, and I hope to chat to you all very soon!
  • New Casting Call Trailer!

    Let me start by saying that for a first timer on CCC, the reception for this project has been great, I'm really glad so many people have taken an interest in it, and you're all very talented. Secondly the Casting call has been quality approved, I'm not too sure how significant that is, but yay and thank you! So I've seen a lot of casting call videos from browsing around, it's been fun, so I thought I'd make one of my own with a Studio EVOL flare, check it out, let me know what you think!

Unpaid
Role assigned to: seansvoices

There isn't much to say, he grew up in Ludendorff, a sleepy little town detached from the rest of the world. He always had a talent for driving and a passion for anything with an engine, but his cockiness often landed him in difficult situations

Voice:
Medium to deep, not too refined, typical of the guy who wasn't brought up in the greatest neighbourhood, tone changes from calm to cocky often

  • cocky, overconfident - "Man, I swear I could take on any one of you"

Role assigned to: Julianne

Something of a wild child who isn't aware of it, Holly grew up being told she could have anything she could ever ask for, do anything she wanted, and she took it a little too far. She believes the world is her playground, but she's caring, and attracted to dangerous people, and Khail looked like the perfect fit



Voice: Medium to high pitched, excitable, occasionally a very fast talker, but usually very calm

  • friendly, during normal conversation - "I always wanted to be a psychologist, live the american dream, then... one day I got in a car, pushed it to the limit, and... everything changed"

  • contemplative - "do you believe we come across people by accident? that.. nothing is behind it, cosmic or otherwise"
