Extended Deadline 2
The deadline has been extended to 03/31/2025 (March 31 2025) at 12 AM EST
This is an Animal Jam film/movie that will be edited and framed in such a way as to try and remove most, if not all, of the gameplay elements in an attempt to make the experience less invasive and more "cinematic" in a sense.
Synopsis for the movie: A young lemur named Blossom is running an exotic flower shop when suddenly she is kidnapped by the phantoms and taken to the phantom fortress’s labs. She meets a threatening-looking, but sweet hyena that was experimented on by the phantoms. The two unlikely friends have to work together, escape, get back to Jamaa safely, and warn the alphas so they can prevent danger to Jamaa. But that is all easier said than done; the phantoms are on high alert and the alphas are far apart.
Requirements:
-Please ensure that your microphone is capable of recording your performance without picking up overwhelming background noises or excessive peaking/clipping. Many of these roles are for larger-than-life characters who tend to involve shouting and even a bit of overacting in some capacity at some time or another. If you cannot commit to the needs of a given role please do not audition as I cannot expect to select someone who cannot perform a role required.
-If you are cast I will not expect you to do any recording for me until you are ready or available. So even when auditions are over and every role is cast: I don't want you to do any recording if you aren't ready.
-You must be 13 years old or older. If you audition and you are younger than 13, you won't be accepted.
A few final notes:
1. I'm a huge fan of animal jam and so I may be submitting my auditions alongside all who wish to participate. Each role will have the suggested guidance and ideal performance parameters I have in mind for each character, but the beauty of acting is taking the same premise or direction and presenting it with your unique flair.
2. Discord is required as we utilize it to organize group rehearsals, deliver announcements, and distribute the script. It's also been an incredibly useful tool for getting to know the people affiliated with the project and I've had a fair bit of fun with it.
3. The audition lines may or may not be in the final script.
4. I will not be afraid to remove you from the project if you constantly disturb other members of the project or even are rude to other members. I want this to be stress-free and make it fun for all members of the project.
And that's it- if you have any questions, DM me! Have fun and good luck!
The deadline has been extended to 03/31/2025 (March 31 2025) at 12 AM EST
I have extended the deadline from 1/30/2024 to 3/30/2024!
This role is important as it is helpful for visuals that cannot be recorded in Animal Jam. The art can be in any style as long as it is detailed in some way. You must also send your audition as a speedpaint. There will up to 5 artists.
*Say something you think would fit*
You will be required to read through the (fully edited) script and be able to create images using paper or computer programs, conduct research, and develop the story by working closely with other members of the project. You must also edit, add, and eliminate scenes and make changes to the storyboards based on feedback. Once in a while, you will meet and discuss what you have done with me.
*Say something you think would fit*
You have to have the ability to import and export various audio file formats for editing, record audio and store the recordings, send the audio to me, as well as edit the start time, stop time, and duration of any audio. They are also required to repair and enhance the audio through effects. The effects you must know how to use include compressing tracks to smooth out recordings, applying filters that drastically change the sound of the file, and using an equalizer. You must also make the files MP3s.
*Say something you think would fit*
When you get the role, you have to have the ability to import various non-copyrighted and original sound effects files during editing and record your own sound effects when needed. You are also required to repair and enhance the sound effects through effects. The effects you must know how to use include compressing to smooth out recordings, applying filters that drastically change the sound of the file, and using an equalizer. When you are done, send the recording to the editor or me.
*Say something you think would fit*
This is a minor role but your job will be to make sure all of the voices are at the right volume and in sync with other character's voices when needed.
*Say something you think would fit*
You will help with advancing the plot, delivering constructive criticism to improve scriptwriting, approving rewrites of scripts, and sharing when you have updated/edited the script.
*Say something you think would fit*
You, when cast, will read through the script and tell the Script Editor what to edit if needed. They are required to do this at least once but can read through it more if needed.
