Where the Lines Blur || Intro short film
Project Overview
NOT ALL CHARACTERS HAVE BEEN RELEASED FOR AUDITIONS YET! THERE WILL BE AT LEAST ONE MORE MALE ROLE AND ONE MORE FEMALE ROLE! SO KEEP YOUR EYES OUT!
ALL CHARACTER DESIGNS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE!
Where the lines blur is a story I have been writing for about half a year now. Recently I've been wanting to make a concept animation for the story for personal use and my film class! This 5-10 minute animation will be a brief overview of how the story of “Where the Lines Blur” will go and will be posted on my personal youtube as well as be shown in my film class (So make sure you’re okay with that before auditioning!).
Basic plot introduction:
Our main protagonist Coe was born with the special ability to transfer through worlds/dimensions though he himself isn’t aware of the fact he is doing it. Everytime Coe dies in one world he is reborn in the next living a completely different life. Each world he goes into is slowly being “poisoned” by his presence because he isn’t supposed to be there. One day in Coe’s current life he meets a new friend named Atlas after he saves him from being attacked by a “Fated.” (A person who willingly and knowingly can jump through worlds) Atlas is a part of the organization “F.A.T.E”. A special company working to assassinate all the Fated that are illegally jumping through worlds. After saving Coe from the attack he quickly realizes how agile and smart he is, securing him a spot in the organization. Atlas takes Coe under his wing onto his section, which has two other members, Kiplin and Ellie, and they start working together to assassinate the Fated. As the story goes on we learn Atlas is hiding a big secret which leads to conflict. Eventually Coe gets a fatal injury and passes leaving his best friend, and maybe more, devastated. What he is unaware of is Coe is still alive just in a new world. Will he solve the mystery and cross the world to find his loved one? Or will he die trying.
BECAUSE OF THE TOPICS IN THIS STORY THIS ANIMATION IS LIMITED TO 16+ AUDITIONERS ONLY.

Character Description:
Coe is a 20 year old male protagonist. He is a new (by a couple months) member of team Cake. Coe has an interesting life as every time he dies, he takes over a person's body in a new world/timeline, though he himself is not aware of it. His presence in these worlds are “poisoning” them slowly without his knowledge. Though this isn’t really explored in the short film it’s something to know about the character’s personality. He is very laid back most of the time but has times when he gets very energetic especially when speaking about his favorite topics. He mostly doesn’t show his care for others but does in dire situations and/or when he likes someone a lot.

(Speaking back to Atlas) On my way right now, (gets clipped by a foe's blade) Ah, shit (fights back), why does this guy have so many “friends?”
Look I promise I’m fine it didn’t take that much of a toll on me, (Atlas says something about going out to eat) WAIT, RAMEN? Yes, that'll make me feel so much better! LETS GO RIGHT NOW (In a hurry)
(Laying down with a fatal wound) Hey, it’s okay Atlas, it doesn’t even hurt. (Clenches his teeth in pain and starts to tear up) Can you just promise to do your best from here on out, okay?

(Calm and focused on the mission) Coe, Kiplin, are you close? Target 004 is on the move, going south from Mill street.
(Laughing/sarcastic amusement) Yeah yeah sure, you forget about me all the time El. (Gets focused) Now let’s stop messing around. (*In this line Atlas is jumping around and fighting people so make it seem like your moving around and punching/fighting)
Coming in on your location now- (hears gun shot) Coe? NO! WHY THE HELL? (Starts crying) YOU MONSTERS! (Runs up to Coe, trying to convince himself everything will be okay) It’ll all be okay, help is coming just hang in there.
