Wonderlust: Student Project

Wonderlust: Student Project

Project Overview

This is a small student project (Roughly 8 minutes). The script is already written and we have storyboards on the way that will be finished once casting is complete. This project will move pretty fast, but not so much so that anyone has to spend too much time on it. We already have a few artists and animators so there shouldn't bee too much stress on that side either.

Also for the paid roles: half will be paid upfront!

Wonderlust takes place on the island of Wonder, a steampunk-inspired land powered by a magical substance called wondrous coal. The society is divided:

  • Uplanders live aboveground in luxurious, industrialized cities. They have access to wealth, technology, and fancy sleds, but their excess creates a lot of waste.

  • Reclaimers inhabit the underground or discarded areas, scavenging the trash and leftover inventions of the Uplanders. Many Reclaimers are part-animal hybrids, adapted to the harsh environment. (world is from JRWI, story is not)

We prefer two takes of each line (AABBCC format), but you can record as many or as few takes as you want (as long as it's not zero). Including your Discord username in your submission is required. Submissions without a Discord username will be dismissed.

Latest Updates

  • Unfortunately, deadline has been shortened.

    Wow. The auditions so far have been insanely good, y’all are amazing! Huge thanks to everyone who took the time to audition, and thank you for making the decision difficult.

    That said, time isn’t on my side. Since I need to shift focus toward the animation itself, I’m moving the audition deadline to September 22nd. I’m starting to get a shortlist together, and call-backs for Troy and Runt will be happening soon.

    Roles will be announced as soon as I can wrangle all the pieces together. Thanks again y'all!

Lead Role

Troy, formerly known as Tramilton, is a young man with styled blond hair, yellow-green eyes, and sun-tanned skin. He wears a red leather jumpsuit decorated with fire decals racing up the arms and legs. The suit is covered in an assortment of sponsor patches. He’s your run-of-the-mill jock who’s somehow been a freshman for five years. The only reason he hasn’t been expelled is because his father donates obscene amounts of money to the school.


Troy is self-centered and overly confident, constantly bragging about his wealth, his father’s influence, and his supposed skill. He repeatedly gets himself into danger with reckless stunts and humiliates himself with awful taunts and boneheaded mistakes. Unwilling to admit defeat, Troy denies every failure and shifts blame onto others, accusing them of cheating or screwing things up.

Troy values the importance and status of being a leader.


His voice is very stereotypical jock with a dash of Zoolander. Feel free to mess around with the voice though!

Lead Role

Runt is part-human, part-rat, with oversized rat ears, a twitchy nose, and a long tail. She dresses in a baggy, grease-stained yellow shirt layered over a gray-and-white striped undershirt, paired with scuffed gray shorts. Her bright purple hair is hacked into a short, straight bob. Big goggles perpetually rest on her forehead, and she lugs around a backpack almost as big as she is.


Curiosity fuels Runt like rocket fuel mixed with caffeine. She’s excitable, sharp-minded, and always on the lookout for opportunities to prove her superior intellect and skills. Despite her age—about sixteen—she eagerly works with others, motivated by a genuine desire to improve lives with her inventions. Of course, she’s not above loudly boasting about her brilliance to squeeze out a little authority in social situations.


Runt’s lungs are damaged, leaving her with severe asthma that makes even simple breathing a chore. She sometimes struggles to enunciate certain words, her sentences breaking around wheezes and coughs.

Uncle Threestrings

cast offsite

Uncle Threestrings is a heavyset, bedraggled bird humanoid with features of a crow. He is covered in feathers, has wing-like feathers along his arms, and typical bird-like legs. His hands appear more human, though are completely black with talons for fingernails. He wears patchwork beige pants and vest with a white undershirt that has its sleeves torn off. On his head, Threestrings wears an equally beige and patched boater hat with a brown ribbon wrapped around it. Threestrings also wears circle-lense glasses with zigzag temples and a wide bridge to accommodate his beak.

Uncle Threestrings is easily excitable by simple things, such as cups. He is surprisingly energetic despite being fairly old, even jumping up and down when happy. He also has a penchant for gambling.

His voice sits in the mid-to-semi-high range, carrying a hint of age. It occasionally cracks.

  • Oh! My! Look at all these cups! I cant wait to stack them all!
