|  | Inner Demons - Student Animation « Thread Started on Mar 28, 2012, 10:19am » | |
Hi everyone, hoping some of you can help me out here. This is my 3rd year project at university, it's in the format of a trailer using 3D animation and requires a few voice actors for the characters.
Title: Inner Demons
What it's about: The project is a trailer for a narrative that follows the experiences of a girl named Meryl. The story goes that there is a new type of experimental therapy for people with fears, phobias and past experiences that they want to forget and move on from. The therapy works by the subject being plugged into a machine that allows them to physically face these fears in their mind in a physical environment, (kind of similar to what happens in Inception). Meryl however, has had a particularly difficult and traumatic life, and the challenges she has to face in her mind are extremely dangerous and risk tipping her over edge of her sanity. The narrative follows the journey in her mind and what she has to do to face her past and wake up again.
The Characters
Name: Meryl Gender: Female Age: 22 Accent: Preferably American but English would also work. Voice type: Serious yet vulnerable. She is fragile due to her past but also confident to overcome it. Audition Line: "You’re asking me to face everything bad that ever happened to me! Do you know what kind of a life I’ve had? This isn’t some stupid phobia, this is my whole life!"
Name: Harold Gender: Male Age: Late 20s to 30 Accent: Preferably American but english would also work. Voice Type: Intelligent. Harold is the leader of the project and created the machine that Meryl is plugged into. Confident, defensive of his work. Audition line: "This is the place where fears are dismissed, where people are freed of their own past, where the impossible becomes real. This is the place you walk out as a new person. This…is Sanctum."
Name: Jack Gender: Male Age: Mid-twenties Accent: Preferably American but english would also work. Voice Type: Jack represents the company that will fund the project. He wants to see how it works and why his comapny should invest. Confident, wary, concerned for the well-being of Meryl. Audition line: "So how does this work Harold? You're getting the board very excited over this little project, I dont want to have to disappoint them again."
Name: Spectral Man Gender: Male Age: 25 - 30 (unspecific due to nature of character) Accent: Preferably American but English would also work. Voice Type: The Spectral Man is a being that speaks to Meryl inside her mind, he doesnt have a face or a backstory, his character i surrounded by mystery. He should sound wise and powerful, also mysterious. Audition Line: "Through each of these doors Meryl is a part of your mind. In your case, each one represents a part of your life. All you have to do, is defeat what's behind them."
Those are the four characters, I look forward to hearing some auditions! If you want to find out more about the project then look at my blog: http://innerdemonsanimation.tumblr.com/ Most of it is the technical side but you can get an idea of what it will look like, I realise there's not much finished animation on there to show at the moment but that is currently being produced! Just a reminder that I am not producing a full feature for the narrative, only the trailer and a small accompanying scene.
Draft deadline is 8/04/2012 but this may be extended depending on interest.
Please send any auditions to stephen.feltham@hotmail.com
Thanks!
