6 Minute Original Animation
J0J0 for Boy Storyteller/Voice Over
Voice Over - This is a young boy who is reading/acting the story in the animation. He is full of life and really brings the story alive. This role has the potential to be expanded. The roles of Quirk and the Little Girl in the story could be voice acted by the person. Quirk having a false gruff deep voice and the Little Girl having an unique voice for the story.
The expansion of this role would really depend on how strong of a storyteller a voice actor can be. Payment would be increased accordingly.
Voice Over
All around the world, people are celebrating Christmas. Christmas
is a holiday that brings cheer to people every year. But not
everyone is happy with this joyous season.
Voice Over
This brings us to the story of a man named Quirk. He is a
man of science, a scientist who never understands why
people put so much energy into this holiday called Christmas
Voice Over
He sits in his laboratory all day wondering why people would
be so interested in being friends and family on such a silly day.
Voice Over
One day in his laboratory, Quick decides to change everything.
He will make Christmas go away. No longer will he have to face
Carolers. No longer would he have to deal with the decorations
and designs littering building sides. He will fix all of that.
He starts to devise a way to end Christmas forever. It will
be hard to get people to stop celebrating Christmas, but what if….
…. what if the day just did not exist.
Voice Over
Feeling satisfied with his grand accomplishment, Quirk decides
to retire to his bed. He fell off into a deep sleep, satisfied that
no one will ever have to deal with that silly Christmas day anymore.
Voice Over
Quirk just realized that what he took away was not a day for
presents. But he had taken away the most precious present ever
given to humanity - the Christmas gift of Hope. For the birth of the tiny baby, Jesus gave all humans hope for the future. A hope that keeps the world strong, and I hope that sustains us. Even during the darkest times, there is that flicker of hope
Voice Over
The town’s people did not get angry. One person exclaimed from the crowd. “Can we use this for Tax Day?” The crowd laughed. They started to sing a Christmas song. They all gathered around, throwing their arms around him, and began to sing. Everyone was happy.
Voice Over
For the first time in many years, he felt truly happy. This Christmas was not about presents, decorated trees, and old songs. It was about giving gifts we cannot see. It was about a gift of a baby boy. It was about the gift of loving each other. It was about the gift of friendship. It is the gift of a baby named Jesus. The very first hope of Christmas that changed his life and yours too.
