Area 51 Workplace Comedy

Area 51 Workplace Comedy

Project Overview

Hi there! I have chosen an animator and have now opened up this project for voice auditions at this time. 


A bonus of doing this project is that you can get an IMDB credit!

I am not looking for impressions of the people in the character profile photos .  The characters do no need to sound anything like the photos. It's to give a general direction and jumping off point of what the character will look like.

I may extend this deadline.

Hi! I'm Nick.  I'm a somewhat accomplished live action filmmaker (festival screenings and awards) with Hollywood experience looking to do an animated project as a pilot.

This project is a workplace comedy centered around Area 51. 

I have high standards but realistic expectations. 

I'd like to have the 25 page pilot done by this time next year but would love to have it completed by end of 2020. 

Thank you everyone!

-Nick Griffith

  • Thank you so much!

    Hey everyone I want to thank all of you so much for your submissions. I am currently overwhelmed with choices because there's been so many good ones to pick from. I've made most of the final selections and the other choices will be made shortly. These decisions are not at all easy and this is the worst part of casting. Every single one of these roles had multiple serious contenders. Thank you so much for the your time in recording and submitting. I hope that anyone who does not make the cut for this one will do an extra audition or two in the next couple day because even if you may not have fit this project but every single voice I've heard here will fit in someone's project if ya'll keep trying.
  • Now accepting voice auditions!

    Now that I have the visuals started it's time to start working on the voices!

For this project I need a collaborator, a one person band,  who handles concept art and animation. Pay is negotiable and expansion of the team is up for discussion.

I'm looking for serviceable 2D  or 3D characters and animation. It doesn't have to be fancy as long as it serves the story. If it is fancy- BONUS! While the dialogue and action is similar to "Archer" the animation does not need to be.  Most of the characters are military, government, engineer and scientist types. Also aliens and robots will make appearances.

I don't expect you to finish everything overnight but I do expect you to be able to hit deadlines (which you'll help set) or at least communication when deadlines will be missed. 

This is a 25 page script. Dialogue heavy. Maybe one or two action scenes.

I'd like to have this done by this time next year but would love to complete by end of 2020.  You're welcome to read the script before committing. Please have off site way of communicating such as email or discord.

Thank you for reading and looking forward to any submissions!

Named after Lt. Colonel Henry Blake from MASH. Life long military man. Failed his way upward in the ranks. He's a yesman.

Wears his uniform complete with patches and medals.

  • What I want is impossible? I don’t buy that. I was impossible. I am a miracle baby. Doctors said it was impossible for my mother to conceive me during phone sex with my father while he was deployed in Korea yet here I am! Telephone teleportation must work!

  • It turns out the public doesn’t like government secrets and off the book military projects.


  • General Blake we just can’t further justify all this secret spending and the cuts are going to go pretty deep I’m afraid.

  • No, sir.  I didn’t hear anything about layoffs or closing the base down or how Senator McDugle can’t achieve an erection with his wife present.

  • Did you pick the 36 hours thing out of the air or does it have some sort of actual meaning?

  • You brought a social media intern to a top secret base? What is he supposed to tweet about?


  • You’re the perfect person to put your “genius” touch on a project that is worthless other than trying to make it look like someone tried.

  • Ya’ll got them fancy phones that send pictures and call each other almost anywhere. Seems like if you can teleport a voice you could teleport a person.
